Less than 20 minutes before the opening of the museum at 9 o'clock, outside the Sichuan Provincial Library, citizens who queued at a certain distance to wait for admission have lined up a long dragon of more than 200 meters. A short-haired girl trot to the end of the team, panting to open the e-book in her mobile phone, using the waiting gap to travel the sea of books. Just two or three minutes later, the queue behind her extended another four or five meters.
During the epidemic, social gatherings decreased and home stays increased. Regaining the classics, "cloud reading" has become a "sweet choice" for many book lovers. According to Amazon China's "Reading Report for All", more than 70% of readers reported that their reading during the epidemic prevention and control period has increased compared with normal days. Similarly, more than 70% of readers believe that digital reading has helped them increase the total amount of reading.
Before the epidemic, the Sichuan Library received an average of more than 6,000 readers per day. After reopening, the library used digital platforms to vigorously develop "cloud services" and took measures to limit traffic. The daily readership dropped to about 2,000. "Now the school has not resumed classes, I have to read and study every day, and I will leave at 5 pm." Sophomore Liang Heng, who was studying at a university in Qingdao, Shandong, took out a "Structure Mechanics" from his schoolbag and saved it Bao Bao hurried into the reading room.
For college libraries, the liveliness of "cloud reading" during the epidemic is comparable to the field reading in the library before the epidemic. The Sichuan University Library quickly launched the "textbook online service platform" after the outbreak, providing nearly 1,200 Chinese and foreign textbook e-books. Up to now, the number of views has reached more than 460,000 people; the 122,427 hours of Chinese audio in the library has also become a student An important choice for reading.
"In recent years, most Chinese university libraries have experienced a decline in the number of paper documents borrowed, and the use of electronic documents and e-books has increased, and the epidemic has accelerated this trend." Du Xiaojun, deputy director of Sichuan University Library, introduced During the epidemic, many students who like shallow reading and short reading began to sink their hearts to read classics. The Sichuan University Library specially selected e-books such as "Analysis of Dreams", "Local China", and "Four Books Chapter Set Notes" through the WeChat public account, etc. The channel is pushed to students, and has received hundreds of book reviews on these literary classics by teachers and students.
When the circle of friends longed for "revengeful consumption", Chengdu white-collar Wei Quan joked that he was "revengeful reading". "I have bought the original novels of the popular TV series recently, and most of the e-books are not even half the price of the physical books." Wei Quan said that reading a cup of milk tea now costs 20 to 30 yuan. You don't need to spend too much, you can have a sense of harvest and happiness.
In preparation for the "Du Fu Critical Biography", the poet Xiang Yixian reread Yang Lun's "Du Shi Jingquan", Wen Yiduo's "Du Shaoling Chronicle", Liu Wendian's "Du Fu Chronicle" and other famous classics during the epidemic. In Xiang Yixian's view, during the epidemic, everyone's expectations and requirements for reading may be higher, higher and stronger. It is difficult to satisfy people's desire for reading only through fragmented reading on the Internet. Some medium-sized or "big-headed" books, and some weighty books, will increasingly become people's choices.
Reading is a small matter of privacy, comfort, and happiness for the readers, and it is also a matter of laying the cultural soft power of a city or even a country. In China, "Reading for All" has been written in the government work report for many years. On the arrival of the 25th "World Book Day", 14 Chinese cultural institutions launched a national reading program "all come to read" aimed at promoting the reading of good books and good reading by the public. At the same time, "Cloud Lecture Books" were held in various places. "Cloud reading" and other forms of "cloud reading" activities also add a book fragrance to the "cloud study".
"Readers like to compare the book to a" safe haven ". Perhaps reading can bring solace and hope." According to Chen Dali, president of the Sichuan Publishing Publishing Association, the epidemic also has the potential to change while increasing readers' reading time. Readers' reading style and focus. Whether it's immersive reading of "reading the light and reading articles" or fragmented reading of "cracked moments", the two are just different ways of reading. The most important thing is the reader himself, as long as it is reading that he needs, Readings you like and choose are all effective readings. (Finish)
