Shanghai Gurong Reading:

As part of the 2017 "Cultural and Natural Heritage Day" event in Shanghai, the fifth commercial printing website was launched yesterday at 190 Tiantong'an Road, and the "Qian Zhangsong Publishing House 120th Anniversary Special Exhibition" was simultaneously launched. At the seminar, some scholars believed that the "century old shop" of modern publishing has influenced generation after generation of scholars in an open China. In addition to reading world-renowned translations of Western academic works, it is more important not to forget the mission of saving national culture, protecting cultural heritage, collecting rare books widely, and compiling a batch of traditional classics with Chinese genes and historical context.

The surviving bombing of Japan in 1932 served as a commercial backdrop, and the Fifth Printing House preserved precious memories of the Commercial Press. In the process of operation, the Commercial Press actively explores new spatial organization and dissemination through modern public library knowledge dissemination and other means. Professor Dong Limin from Shanghai University said that in early 1903, President Zhang Yuanji began collecting rare ancient books and then established the Hanfen Building, which became the center of ancient times. Based on the Hanfen Building Collection, from 1916 to 1938, the Commercial Press published a series of large-scale ancient books, including the "Han Fenlou" Secret "Four Series", the first edition of the "Four Series", and the "Twenty Four Histories of Bai NaBen". Among them, the "Four Series of Books" is the largest, most diverse, and most influential commercial press in the world, which has created a new paradigm of modern printing technology in the field of ancient books for the compilation experience, technology, and market positioning of the "Four Series".

It has particularly activated energy in Chinese classical newspapers and magazines, while simultaneously popularizing and salvaging it. Through the popularization of reading classics, it has also achieved rare treasures. Zhang Renfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yuanji and a member of the Shanghai Literature and History Research Institute, said that in long-term cooperation, the compilation business of multiple subjects and types of books has gathered a large number of professional research on ancient literature, forming a famous publishing platform that nourishes each other's resources. These practices can inspire future generations.
