On the morning of May 15th, accompanied by the national orchestral symphony performance of the Blue and White Porcelain Orchestra, "Taste the Beauty of Reading, Bathe in the Fragrance of Books" and the first Yihua Book Cultural and Creative Market in Yizhuang Town kicked off.
The five-day market covered multiple sections such as book exhibition, reading culture interaction, cultural and creative toys, children's flea market and art exhibition. The market will also invite a number of well-known writers and reading promoters to share the theme and sign the sale, providing a colorful cultural feast for the citizens of Daxing.
Led by the "Reading Taotao" brand, this year's market brought together a number of well-known publishing houses, exhibiting nearly 1,000 kinds of books, rich in content, covering children's books, literature, social sciences and other fields, including the children's book brand "Le Fun" pop-up books and flipbook series, Ma Boyong's selected series, not idiot series of comics and Mi Xiaoquan's new books and other best-selling books, as well as the above picture of cultural and creative products on display.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily saw at the market that a teacher from a nearby kindergarten took eight children to select pop-up book picture books in front of the Lefun children's book booth. "This red monster Darabon came to Earth with a meteorite fall, and it has the ability to integrate its body into its surroundings"; "The horns of the head of this telekinesis monster Zalton can stab opponents and shoot rays of destruction." The children gathered around to flip through the Ultraman series of picture books, and discussed various monsters with strange functions with great interest.
Another highlight of this year's market is the first exhibition of the five complete copies of "Guwen Guanzhi", which is jointly planned by Qilu Publishing House and Taihu Huimao, which is comprehensively upgraded in content to reduce the difficulty of reading, with problem solving, annotations, translations, and readers can scan the QR code to listen to professional dubbing accompaniment. This customized version also deliberately leaves a blank space next to each page for readers, so that readers, especially students, can record notes and reading experiences at any time. According to the booth staff, at the recent Changping District Book Market, a total of more than 20 sets of customized versions of "Guwen Guanzhi" were sold. "In terms of price, it is also very affordable, with two books being discounted by 5% for less than 90 yuan, and they are very popular with ordinary readers as soon as they are listed."
In front of the booth of the Sound on Paper bookstore, Ms. Li, a reader, engages in the selection of color prints of Paris posters. "I have a room dedicated to watching movies, and the posters on the walls have to be changed regularly, and I hope these color prints will make my movie room more artistic." Ms. Li said.
It is reported that Yizhuang Town will continue to carry out the "Book Rhyme, You and I Appreciate Together" book exchange market, hold parent-child reading meetings, and create a "little librarian" volunteer service project; At the same time, we will dig deep into the nostalgic culture, hold study tours to "retain the memory of our hometown and taste the culture of Nanhaizi", and regularly carry out community activities such as "Idle Books for Flowers" and "Book Drifting Bags", so as to promote harmonious exchanges with books as a medium and outline the extension line of neighborhood watch.
