Life, Reading, and New Knowledge Triptych Bookstore Annual Good Book Sharing Session Poster
Sanlian Bookstore's annual readers' book selection campaign began in 2014 and has been held for seven consecutive years. In recent years, there have been many publishing houses like Sanlian Bookstore that hold this edition of book selection, the Commercial Press, the Zhonghua Bookstore, the People's Literature Publishing House... There are similar selection activities. Although the annual selection of these big-name publishing houses is limited to the books published by our own company, the shortlist of selected books they finally publish can often be popular with readers, and even brush the circle of friends.
In this regard, some insiders said: The network platform provides great convenience for the publishing house to reach readers, and at the beginning many publishing houses have made this kind of selection, and slowly only some famous societies are still insisting. The reason is simple, not all publishing houses' annual book lists are concerned, only those publishing institutions that are industry benchmarks, their selection has a "weather vane" meaning. Another reason is that there are not many new books that can stand the test of time, and Taisha's annual book list can provide such help to readers.
In view of this, Sanlian Bookstore felt that it needed a live broadcast to further expand the influence of the book list and cheer for good books and deep reading. "The overprinting of time" is the title of the new book published by Professor He Guimei of the Department of Chinese of Peking University this year in the Sanlian Bookstore, which was "borrowed" to make the name of the live broadcast, for which the publisher has its own explanation in the live broadcast preview copy: "Multi-threaded instant information makes us feel that we are friends of time and know everything; in the circle of friends, we are talking with chickens and ducks, dreaming back in the middle of the night, and finding that the days have become a pile of fragments... Fortunately, we also have scholars and writers who try to share with people the knowledge and experience of different eras, and through their writing, the universal experience in history and tradition and the knowledge and ideas needed to face the future converge from the two ends of time to the present, and superimpose them into books of wisdom, so that the 'fragments' can converge and communicate, so that we can understand each other again. ”
A relevant person from Sanlian Bookstore said: "We see that the algorithm of information push is becoming more and more accurate, and we feel that we know a lot, but to see the differences and even tears on the Internet and in the circle of friends, a lot of irrational and invalid discussions." The 'information cocoon' (everyone can only receive information that they are interested in and agree with) and the fragmented and entertaining so-called knowledge thus trap us in isolated islands, facing each other and consuming each other, and our thinking is no longer sharp and no longer has the value and possibility of retention. First, in the elaboration of knowledge and ideas, book publishing requires completeness and systematicness; secondly, the publishing industry as a traditional 'gatekeeper' requires value neutrality and inclusiveness in order to do a good job in the dissemination, accumulation and inheritance of human spiritual wealth. ”

It is understood that the number of live broadcasts in Sanlian Bookstore in a year is not much, and the live broadcast carries even fewer goods. "There is quality, there is a face, from the content to the picture, sound, we strive to do a good job." Even if it is a live broadcast with goods, we will also design the theme, saying something, rather than shouting and selling, just like this time, we have set up ten topics in many aspects such as history, literature and art, new knowledge, etc., involving academic achievements, academic methods, current hot topics and other topics. "Let's put it this way, our live broadcast, due to the different themes and guests, has three or four thousand people watching when it is small, and nearly 100,000 people watching it when it is more than half an hour, and the most rare thing is that we watch it for more than half an hour on average - which is absolutely sticky in the live broadcast room."
