Colorful Guizhou Network , Zhongwang News (Reporter Ying Teng) In May 2022, Yu Weiren, an adviser to the China Folk Writers Association and a famous cultural scholar in Guizhou, will officially become a "post-80s".
On the occasion of turning 80, Yu Weiren's new book "Notes on Yu's Guizhou" was published. Unlike previous new books, this time, she decided to "make an exception" and let "non-bestsellers go to the bestsellers" - a new book sharing + signing party.
"Exception" is the key word for sharing and signing new books
On February 19th, the "Notes of Yu Guizhou" new book sharing and signing meeting was held at Guiyang Yexian Bookstore.
At the scene, Yu Weiren's old friends, Guizhou cultural scholars Dai Mingxian, Gu Jiu, Xu Ming, Wang Liangfan and others sat together to tell the wonderful story of Yu Weiren's "patching up the sky", "scattering" and "rescue" in Guizhou folk culture and art from the aspects of the book writing process, Guizhou culture, non-genetic inheritance, reading and writing.
At the new book sharing meeting, Guizhou cultural scholars sat together
Three hours of new book sharing and signing meeting, three "speech teams" composed of experts and scholars, intangible cultural heritage workers, and senior media people took turns on the stage, which was for Yu Weiren, who "stood for himself" for the first time, even if he sat for the whole time, he was a bit "uncomfortable" - when she really couldn't sit still, she couldn't help but stand up and move the activity, and then sit down.

Behind the "exception" to do the new bookmark sale meeting, there are three "careful thoughts" of Yu Weiren.
The basis of "exceptions" is to buy books for the purpose of letting physical bookstores "survive".
Taking the new book release as the lead, the author attends the platform, and while draining the bookstore, it will intuitively pull the bookstore book sales. This is Yu Weiren's first "careful thinking".
"In the physical bookstore, I was overwhelmed by online book shopping, and the bookstore treasurer 'Autumn Grasshopper' rented the bookstore for ten years, which is invaluable to this kind of spirit of taking clerical affairs as its own responsibility, as a book writer, I am not full of weakness and am not right." Yu Weiren said.
For the "rescue" work of Yu Weiren in folk culture, Gu Jiu said, "She is like Nuwa to make up for the heavens."
The second "careful thinking" of "exception" is to borrow a new bookmark sales path to find readers for the "big book", the Miao epic "Biography of Qiu Wang", which has been selected for the national intangible cultural heritage list, and increase the exposure rate.
The publication and successful application of "The Biography of Qiu Wang" is of pioneering significance and value to the study of the Miao language
"From discovery, excavation, translation, and collation, the biography of Qiu Wang has gone through nine bumpy roads." At the new book sharing meeting, Yu Weiren made a key recommendation for the "Biography of Qiu Wang", "This is an epic poem passed down from generation to generation in the Qingzhen Siyin Miao branch, the heroic ancestors of the Qiwang conquest and migration, but for this "Biography of Qiuwang", there are few people who know, let alone books to read, I hope to take this opportunity to let the "Biography of Qiuwang" be known, read, and explored by more people. ”
At the event site, "The Legend of Qiu Wang" was presented to 40 readers through a lottery
The "foothold" of the "exception" to hold a new book sharing signing meeting is to organize a meeting and small talk between new and old book friends.
From the literary creation of his youth, to the practice of taking root in fieldwork and writing anthropology, Yu Weiren's dedication and dedication to Guizhou folk culture has completed a personal narrative centered on Guiyang and the entire Qiandi in the form of notes, and all of them are packed into the new book "Yu's Guizhou Notes".
The "Notes of Guizhou of Yu" is classified with 65 notes
The book is divided into units such as "Qiandi Fanghua Liuyun", "Oral Literature Daya", "Festival Flower Blooming", "Handicraft Capture", "Song and Dance Drama Pearl Picking", "Folk Customs Grand View Collection" and other units, classifying and collecting 65 notes, recording people, literature, history and events in Guizhou with a unique cultural perspective and emotional temperature. Among them, there are both "people" and "literature" that she has personally experienced, as well as "history" and "events" that she has witnessed personally, and readers will appreciate the "Qiandi humanities and folk flowers" from them.
New bookmarks are available on site
"I've never bought a signed bestseller in a bookstore. He never imagined that he would stand on the signing table of a clumsy book. On the eve of sharing the signing of the new book, Yu Weiren wrote in the article "Why Do You Want to Sign".
The book sharing session is a gathering of new and old friends
At the end of the activity, Yu Weiren, who completed the "exception" and was three "careful thinking", sat calmly and happily on the signing table, signed for the endless stream of readers, and thanked everyone.
