It is understood that the 13th Jiangsu Book Exhibition was held at the main venue of the Suzhou International Expo Center and 165 offline and 2 online sub-venues across the province. Nantong City had a total of 13 sub-venues, of which Tongzhou Bay was the only development zone to host a sub-venue. During the book exhibition, various activities such as thematic lectures, classic recitations, picture book reading, and sharing exchanges were held, showcasing a variety of books including science fiction, literature, history, technology, and children's books, creating a strong atmosphere of "loving reading, reading good books, and reading well" in the demonstration zone.

Inheriting Classics, National Studies Recitation

Chinese culture has a long history, and classic ancient texts are as numerous as stars. Reciting classic ancient texts and accumulating cultural knowledge is a good reading habit to improve reading ability and cultivate humanistic qualities. To increase children's hands-on ability and improve their interest in learning national studies classics, making the knowledge learned easier to understand and remember, Tongdian Academy innovated methods, allowing children to use a word-chain game to select preliminary contestants, and then combine classic passages or wonderful content from national studies books to create hand-copied newspapers and recite them. "Through the word-chain game and hand-copied newspaper making competition, children can learn and apply what they have learned, gaining a deeper understanding of what they have learned in class, no longer simply rote memorization. This educational method is worth learning from parents," said Ms. Li, who accompanied her child to buy books.

Replicating Classics, DIY Experience of Movable Type Printing

"Movable type printing is one of China's four great inventions in ancient times, a crystallization of the wisdom of the working people. The emergence of writing marks the entry of mankind into the civilized era. From woodblock printing to movable type printing..." After carefully listening to the professional teacher's historical science lecture on the development and evolution of movable type printing, the children showed great interest in printing text themselves. Through the processes of selecting characters, typesetting, inking, covering paper, and printing, they experienced the unique charm of movable type printing that has spanned thousands of years. Movable type printing is no longer cold text in textbooks, but truly "alive." "Our academy not only sells books and disseminates knowledge, but more importantly, wants to showcase the charm of writing and the charm of cultural dissemination. This DIY experience of movable type printing, through the method of education through entertainment, allows the children participating in the activity to truly feel the wisdom of the ancient people and the charm of traditional culture, enhancing their sense of national identity and pride, and also exercising their hands-on ability. We hope that while they search for the vivid figures of craftsmen in the long river of history, they can also understand the spirit of striving for excellence and continuous innovation."

"The five-day book exhibition was exciting and full of surprises. This book exhibition, co-hosted with the district reading office, attracted many residents to Tongdian Academy for a book-scented journey. Although the book exhibition has ended, the fragrance of books continues. We look forward to seeing you again next time and bringing more high-quality books to the residents of Tongzhou Bay." Tongdian Academy store manager He Shanshan said. In the future, the Tongzhou Bay Public Reading Office will work with Tongdian Academy to improve reading facilities, enrich reading resources, innovate reading methods, and organize various reading activities to provide residents with better services. At the same time, it encourages more residents, enterprises, and units to join the ranks of promoting public reading, creating a strong reading atmosphere in the entire district, and allowing the fragrance of books to permeate Tongzhou Bay.
