新素材永乐大典数字化An exhibition（展出）on the great Chinese ancient encyclopedia（百科全书）Yongle Dadian opened at the Lanzhou Museum in Gansu Province. It collected more than 7,000 kinds of ancient Chinese classics and records, covering literature（文学）, art, history, geography and so on from the pre - Qin period to the early Ming dynasty.
With a total of 11,095 volumes（册）and about 370 million words, the Yongle Dadian was regarded as “the largest encyclopedia in the world”. To protect this world - famous classic, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming dynasty ordered a re - recording of it. The copying work took five years to finish. But hand - copied books have been gradually lost over the long period of history. Today, only over 400 volumes and a few pieces of the Yongle Dadian remain in the world.
The Chinese government promised to put greater efforts into digitizing(数字化) ancient books and encouraged(鼓励) libraries to open their collections of ancient books for the public. This action certainly made the Chinese culture in ancient books “alive”.
Similarly, the Siku Quanshu, a collection of Chinese classical works, is being digitized in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. Created in the Qing dynasty, Siku Quanshu had seven copies. But now, only three and a half copies remain. To bring them closer to the public, digitization efforts began in 2021 and are expected to be completely finished and published by 2028.
Ancient books are important to China in carrying on its cultural traditions and improving its cultural power. At the same time, they can also be used for researching and the development of cultural products.
