I wonder if you went to the book festival? Have you ever wondered why you want to go to the book festival? Roughly rationalized some reasons for going to the book festival: 1. Idolization, just to meet Mo Yan, Yu, Yi Zhongtian and other reading stars; 2. Buying books is not a book festival. You can't buy so many kinds of books at once. 3. Listening to lectures can focus on sharing the reading experience of famous scholars; 4. Follow the trend and say that this is a grand gathering of scholars, otherwise it will be out of date; Idle is idle, anyway, you have to find a place to go, not to mention you don't have to spend money to buy tickets. You will always choose one of the above, right? Maybe there are other reasons. I went to the launching ceremony of "Exploring Guangdong Series", and saw the performances of old Guangzhou food customs such as selling chicken olives and "Hewei Tang Lishi", as well as prizes such as egg cakes, blind cakes and peanuts, and also listened to the performance of Chen Zhuang Cantonese Opera, which is known as "Guangzhou Food God". It felt more like a food carnival. Just breaking up here, I bumped into a group of old listeners of Pearl River Economic Radio, laughing and laughing, saying that they came for the book "Seeking Dreams-Autumn Patterns in America", and the motivation was still a carnival. One of the advantages of carnival is undoubtedly that it will ignite people's enthusiasm for buying books. Enthusiasm depends on what books you choose. I walked around, including the Taiwan Province Provincial Pavilion, the hottest topic before. It seems that life encyclopedia accounts for the largest proportion, cooking, planting flowers, drinking tea and raising children ... and things related to the workplace, literature, and so on. Generally speaking, there are not many new books and it is not easy to find them. In fact, if you want to buy books at the Book Festival, online shopping can solve it. I think the temptation of carnival will be even greater. When I leave the Book Festival, I want to exchange my book buying experience with netizens through Sina Weibo. "@ 1 1 head" is rude. "I thought it was a false fire. The atmosphere of the times makes people satisfied with the fast food culture. Buying a lot of books feels like going to a snack bar to buy a lot of snacks, but you can't swallow it when you go home. " Obviously, reading energy-saving has been hot for several days, but there is no way to cultivate everyone's lasting good habit of non-utilitarian reading. Another netizen hit the nail on the head. "When I was a student, I was very confused about the books I should take and the books I should teach, so I had to say it when I saw the books." Then, did anyone gather at the book fair to interact on a cultural topic of common concern, thus forming a * * * sound? The theme slogan of every book festival is grand, but it is not easy to remember. In recent years, it has not formed a topic that everyone can discuss. On the other hand, at the Hong Kong Book Fair, it will be one topic to attract a large number of fans who shake heart-shaped cards by publishing books by young models, and it will be another topic to prevent them from entering the book fair next year. Without topic and interaction, the resurgence of book fairs also belongs to the static state of cultural mentality. But in any case, we all know that this is a grand meeting organized by all parties with a lot of energy and financial resources. The most fundamental purpose is to call on the whole people to read, because this is the fundamental way to improve the quality of the whole people. Last year, people aged 65,438+08 to 70 in China read only 4.39 printed books. Once compared with developed countries and regions, they will only feel ashamed, but in fact, people's civilization is directly proportional to their love of reading at any time and place. It is reported that it is an iron thing to formulate reading strategies at the national level. It seems really impossible if the reading festival is not carried out. I also said what I saw at the reading festival: the books that were neatly placed in various booths were always turned upside down, so many volunteers repeatedly "held hands"-put the books back in order. It stands to reason that scholars love books like life and will not throw them around like this. We can only hope that many "future scholars" will gradually develop good civic habits such as civilization, courtesy, hygiene and order after reading more books. However, judging from the cultural products that can be provided before the reading plan, can we ensure the overall improvement of citizens' quality and make reading for all a normal state in the process of social development? After all, the annual South China Book Festival still needs to show an attitude. However, attitude alone is not enough.
