Work on tangible culture wins Wenjin award

This year's winners of the Wenjin Book Award, announced by the National Library of China on April 23, are from three main categories - children's books, popular science and social science titles.

Ten books won the top honors that are named after Wenjinge, or the "chamber of literary tastes", one of China's most renowned imperial libraries.

The annual awards announced on World Book Day are meant to "establish a bridge between readers, writers and publishers to create a conducive atmosphere for reading books, and fulfill the duty of libraries to promote culture and educate the people".
