Beijing, October 28 (China News Network) -- Founded in 1897, the Commercial Press is the oldest "century-old store" in China's publishing industry, and has made outstanding contributions to the dissemination and revitalization of Chinese culture in the field of traditional publishing. In the digital age, this "century-old store" actively responds to the national digital innovation strategy, and actively acts as a digital product such as the digital version of Ciyuan (third edition), the Xinhua Dictionary App, the Modern Chinese Dictionary App, the Oxford High-end English-Chinese Dictionary App, and the Hanfen App, especially the Xinhua Dictionary App, which has had a significant impact on the industry.

On October 28, the digitization of dictionaries such as the Xinhua Dictionary has a new exploration: the Commercial Press and NetEase Youdao jointly signed a strategic agreement in Beijing, and the two sides will start a series of works. The Commercial Press's "Xinhua Dictionary", "Xinhua Dictionary", "Xinhua Idiom Dictionary", "Ancient Chinese Dictionary", "Xinhua Later Language Dictionary" and many other authoritative dictionary contents will be stationed in NetEase Youdao intelligent hardware. Among them, as the first step of cooperation, Xinhua Dictionary will take the lead in exclusively entering the flagship edition of Youdao Dictionary Pen, opening up an innovative exploration of the digitization of classic learning tools.

"How to make the dictionary represented by the Xinhua Dictionary better serve the majority of users in a new digital form is an important consideration for publishing institutions to integrate publishing." Gu Qing, Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Director of the Commercial Press Co., Ltd., said, "The Youdao Dictionary Pen is equipped with the best quality intelligent learning hardware functions on the market, coupled with the content of our dictionary, I believe it can become a pen that lights up the future of publishing digitization and education informatization." We want to work with the most trusted brands on the market. ”

Zhou Feng, CEO of NetEase Youdao, believes that in the context of technological development and information explosion, intelligent learning hardware needs to continuously enrich high-quality content. Only more authoritative, more professional, and better learning content can deeply integrate hardware products to truly help users learn efficiently. Based on this, NetEase Youdao and the Commercial Press have a high degree of consensus, and only then have a strong combination of water and water. In the future, Youdao will work with the Commercial Press to help the development of education informatization and creatively try new ways, new carriers and new channels for cultural dissemination.

The two parties said that they will jointly explore the cooperation model between cultural publishing institutions and intelligent learning companies in line with the new era and new environment, empower education with science and technology, and promote the iterative upgrading of the media carried by classic learning tools.
