Chapter 257: Ancient Books Are Hard to Borrow

Yun Lei said to Tai Lian: "Thank you for the affairs of the archives, I still have to deal with the affairs of the library." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Over at the info archives, I'll send someone there. ”

Tai Lianjiao said angrily: "I don't want you to thank you! When will you come to me?"

Yun Lei comprehended: "I'll go over now!"

Yun Lei hung up the phone, borrowed the power of the space gourd's space teleportation, and went directly to Tai Lian's office. Of course, it is a private room in Tai Lian's office, which is specially reserved for Tai Lian to rest. After doing what a couple should do with Tai Lian, Yun Lei left the red lady to Tai Lian. Let Tai Lian take the red lady to the archives to check all kinds of archives and learn about modern civilization.

Tai Lian saw that the red lady's appearance was amazing, and originally thought that Yun Lei had provoked another one. I can't help but feel a little jealous. But after hearing about the red lady's life experience, she couldn't help but have red eyes. In a few words, he became familiar with the red lady. Instead, he put the cloud and thunder aside.

The Chinese civilization is long and there are many ancient books. It stands to reason that all kinds of exquisiteness should be far superior to Western civilization. However, in the past 100 years, modern China has experienced several catastrophes and almost scattered its vitality. It is only in recent decades that the economy has begun to recover.

During these 100 years, many rituals and exquisiteness have been discarded, and many cultural inheritances have been disconnected. Although in recent decades, Chinese civilization has begun to recover, and many people have begun to blindly admire the advanced culture of the West to study the inheritance of Chinese civilization itself.

However, there are still some things that are not done enough.

There is one of them, which makes Yun Lei, who has studied the borrowing regulations of major libraries in Mingjing, very unhappy. Basically, all reading rooms where you can borrow all kinds of ancient books stipulate that you must have a graduate degree or above, or have an intermediate title or above, before you can borrow books.

Although, many scholars have written that such a regulation is not a discrimination based on academic qualifications, but for the protection of ancient books.

However, from the point of view of cultural diffusion. Such a provision is really nonsense. Scholars who have already advanced to graduate school want to study ancient cultures, and it is understandable that they will be promoted to a doctorate saint seiya. So, why not many ordinary students who are interested in classical culture and have some expertise want to borrow ancient books to deepen their knowledge?

After all, it is not enough for a small number of people to spread culture, and only a large number of people are interested in it and receive the support they deserve.

I'm really worried that there will be idlers and miscellaneous people fishing in troubled waters and destroying ancient books, so you can take the exam! Those who fail the exam are not entitled to borrow books. In this way, it is possible to screen out most of the people who just want to join in the fun.

Perhaps, these certificates will become a certificate of one's academic accomplishment in the future. In this way, it defines a different intellectual status from others. In this regard, the ancient Chinese classics and ancient culture will be raised to a due height.

The lack of the right to borrow books means that the academic qualifications cannot be reached temporarily, and ordinary students who are in urgent need of relevant knowledge cannot consult the corresponding classics. In fact, most people who are interested in this kind of classical Chinese culture do not really want to see the original ancient books. It's really not good, look at a photocopy, or, watch an electronic version, it's no problem.

If it is really from the perspective of disseminating and preserving culture, it is not difficult to remake ancient books into electronic versions. If you want to protect ancient books at the same time, the way to spread the classical civilization of China is very simple, and you can hang out a large number of electronic versions that can be downloaded for free on the official websites of major libraries in China.

However, this is something that few libraries do.

If a large number of electronic copies are put out for free download, then the sales of photocopied copies of ancient books with rough packaging and art will plummet. There were few people interested in the book in the first place, but after the electronic version was put out, it is estimated that even fewer people are interested. Internet articles are all pirated all over the world! Not to mention the photocopies of these ancient books that originally sold for a lot of money.

Those libraries still count on the money that these photocopied books will make for the libraries! Therefore, although there are some electronic versions of ancient books on the Internet that can be downloaded for free, at least 90 percent of the books are still shelved and can only be seen by professional researchers.

The rest of the people didn't even know that such a book existed!

But I don't know that such a business is falling into a vicious circle. The more the library treats these ancient books as treasures, the less they spread, the less people are interested, the more the printed books cannot be sold, and the more they cannot make money. As a result, the fewer books are printed, the less money can be made.

However, if we change our business ideas, we will publicize these ancient books in electronic versions, library cards, and other methods. Then, there will be more and more people who are interested in ancient Chinese culture. And some rare books, the original binding and typesetting are very exquisite. You don't even need to have a special art design, you just need to restore it to the height of the original. There will be a lot of true love fans who will take out a lot of silver to buy the collection.

After all, reading a beautifully bound paper book full of ancient charm is still not the same as reading online articles on a mobile phone computer. Beautifully bound and exquisitely crafted paper books have a unique texture for true book lovers.

In this way, the more publicity, the more it sells. Chinese culture has been promoted, ancient books have been protected, and banknotes have been earned. That's the right thing.

It's just that although Yunlei has this idea, he can't do it. After all, he was now just an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period. It's better than ordinary people, but it's extremely difficult to change the current trend. Moreover, this kind of thing, it is useless to have money, and it is necessary to let most of the libraries in China that preserve more ancient books work together. Otherwise, it's just empty talk.

Yun Lei doesn't have the power of this level yet. Even if Tai and Dow are allowed to launch with all their might, it will not work.

When it came to the moment, he could only rely on himself. With all kinds of identity documents, he walked around the many libraries in Mingjing, except for one or two libraries, the rest made it very clear that these ancient books could not be borrowed. However, the photocopies that have been published and some electronic versions of ancient classics that can be provided cannot meet Yunlei's needs at all. Yun Lei was no longer busy.

If you don't borrow books, can't I peek at them? How can the things of the readers be regarded as stealing? Besides, they are not really stealing, they are just looking at them!

Moreover, Yunlei does not intend to look at it in vain, for those ancient books with crunchy paper and shabby times, Yunlei has his own ancient book maintenance methods obtained from Shushan and Kunlun.
