Ancient books are an important carrier of Chinese civilization, and their storage, utilization, grading, and digital protection can all be related to laws. In view of the feasibility and superiority of local legislation, as well as the imbalance of China’s geographical and economic development, this article analyzes the role of local regulations in promoting the protection of ancient books in China based on the relationship between the development of ancient books protection and the demand for legislation. Via the NVivo14 software, the article encodes the retrieved 155 local laws and regulations, and identifies the room for improvement in the fund guarantee mechanism of the local legislation for ancient books protection. It also notices that the management department(s) are unclear, protection methods are imperfect, incentive/penalty measures are vague, and legal responsibility is not corresponding to specific norms. It thus proposes to improve the mechanism for financial assurance, refine the responsibilities of the management body and the items under protection, and finally specify the rewards and punishments. 

In view of the national cultural digitalization strategy, this paper explores the willingness mechanism of Generation Z to use the public digital culture mobile service platform in a multi-device environment, aiming to promote the comprehensive development of China’s digital culture. Taking Generation Z, whose personal development is closely integrated with the digital age, as the research object, and the Palace Museum as the public digital cultural mobile service platform, this paper uses grounded theory analysis to construct an impact mechanism model from the perspective of users. As the core group of the digital era, Generation Z has excellent adaptability to multi-device and multi-type public digital cultural mobile service platforms. The research on this specific group will not only help promote the modernization process of China’s culture, but also provide targeted optimization strategies for public digital cultural mobile service platforms, as well as further strengthening the cultural identity of Generation Z.

This paper analyzes the current public digital cultural service policies in China, systematically reviewing and summarizing the evolution process and characteristics of relevant policies, in order to provide reference for further optimizing the public cultural service policy system. Taking 113 public digital cultural service policy texts in China in the past two decades as the research object, and using bibliometrics and policy tools, the paper sorts out the evolution of public digital cultural service policies, and quantitatively analyzes policy texts via NVivo from the four-dimensional perspective of “policy tools-policy objectives-participants-external characteristics”. It also carries out combined evaluation from multiple dimensional perspectives. The results show that the evolution history of China’s public digital cultural service policy is mainly divided into four stages: germination, start-up, development and deepening, and there are problems such as imbalance in the structure of policy tools and uneven development of service regions in the process. It proposes to further optimize policy tool structure, focus on the equalization and expansion of services, form a “diversified and joint” participation model, and create a new pattern of “one core and multiple wings” synergy

In November 2022, the IFLA MetLib Section embarked on a public recruitment initiative, enlisting 17 librarians from diverse cities spanning five continents, to establish a global “MetLib Learning Circle”. This marked the inception of a one-year (2022-2023) librarian training program, representing the inaugural multinational endeavor for talent development within the IFLA MetLib Section. The facilitation of the learning circle is entrusted to Tommi Laitio, a Bloomberg Public Innovation Fellow affiliated with the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University. Distinguished representatives from the public library sectors in the United States, Finland, and other nations actively participate in this pioneering initiative. The primary objective is to delve into the nuanced concept of “convivencia” within public libraries, seeking to comprehend its connotations and explore strategies for its practical implementation. Participants share noteworthy aspects of their respective libraries, particularly focusing on the exploration of spatial functionalities. As a participant in this project, the author furnishes a comprehensive overview of the training program. This involves a thorough examination of the cutting-edge trends and insights within the global public library community, with a specific focus on major cities, as represented by IFLA.

The online data platform has become an important carrier for the research of historical figures’ literature and historical materials, which fully protects the literature and explores the intrinsic value of historical materials with the help of digitization and intellectualization, and can provide strong data support as well as convenient literature service for the majority of researchers and history enthusiasts. By combing the related researches on historical figures database and knowledge mapping under digital humanities, this study proposes and analyses the two key problems of historical figures data platform construction, namely, the structuring of heterogeneous literature data from multiple sources and the construction of knowledge mapping under multimodal information. It addresses these problems through data classification and statistics, metadata structuring design, Schema construction, knowledge extraction, and Entity fusion. It then realizes the functions of literature aggregation, retrieval and visualization. It conducts an empirical research with Rosamond Soong Ch’ing-ling as the research object, and designs a data platform construction process, which will provide a practical solution for research in the field of library intelligence.

After sorting out the origin of the versions of Mencius, it can be found that all the versions only recorded that “是人” in the sentence “When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man”, and the usage of “是人” is closer to the grammar habits of the Warring States Period. The saying of “斯人” originated from other references to the text of Mencius. In order to fulfill the positive guidance and avoid the frequent Controversy over different texts in ancient poetry selections in recent years, the editing and publishing of Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary school urgently needs to be further improved. It is not only necessary to make full use of high-quality literature resources such as photocopies and collated copies, but also to sort out the source of versions and compare the similarities and differences. After selecting the most reliable texts from them, we should indicate the difference between the selected version and the typical text, so as to popularize the common sense of philology to primary and secondary school students, and convey the correct and rational concept of version.

There are only two Wang Yangming’s Poems edited by Qian Dehong in existence, both of which are collected in Japan. One is the first edition which is collected in Cabinet Library, but only three volumes left. And the other one is the later edition, which is collected in Kyushu University and has been supplemented, there are four complete volumes in existence. This book was the first systematic collection of Wang Yangming’s poems, which inherited Juyi Collection, and influenced Wang Yangming’s Essay, and was eventually incorporated into Wang Yangming Quanshu. The content of Wang Yangming’s Poems has been changed many times in the subsequent process, such as the title of the poem has been changed, the preface and notes has been missed, and the words of the poem appeared errors. At present, all kinds of collated editions of Wang Yangming Quanji don’t regard Wang Yangming’s Poems as the proofreading copy, which leads to some errors persist and affects the collation quality and related research of Wang Yangming’s poems. Wang Yangming’ s Poems is very significant to proofread Wang Yangming’s Poems.
