The national archives are headquartered in Beijing and have branches in Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Xi’an. Together, they serve as a national database of bibliology resources and a “seed gene bank” of the Chinese culture. Its repository includes two volumes of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia compiled in the 15th century, as well as sutras from the Leifeng Pagoda and 1,142 versions of The Communist Manifesto, said Zhang Pu, vice curator of the Hangzhou branch.
“Apart from our preservation work, we also use exhibitions to bring publication-related knowledge and the traditional Chinese culture closer to the general public,” he said.Wenrunge’s staff say they believe their work is in line with the book-collecting tradition of the Jiangnan culture. The facility has also dedicated itself to the collection and showcasing of the prominent regional culture in east China.
Its Cantonese-style mooncake exhibition is catching the eyes of visitors, pooling hundreds of mooncake-related printed materials such as price lists, wrappings and leaflets.
