Beijing's Baoguo book fair brings out the bibliophiles

In addition, the secondhand book market also organizes cultural activities like book restoration, woodblock rubbing, and wearing hanfu. These activities seek to engage attendees, especially the younger generation, in China's rich cultural heritage.

In the future, Xicheng plans to set up old book circulation platforms, regular secondhand book sales platforms, and a community secondhand book sharing platform. The initiatives are designed to promote the development of the secondhand book market, vitalizing traditional culture and fostering a deeper appreciation of literature among the populace, Du says.
