Book prize jury focuses on traditional culture when picking winners

The revival of traditional Chinese culture is the focus of the latest Wenjin Book Award, one of China's top book prizes.

The awards, which are in their 13th edition this year, were bestowed in the National Library of China on World Book Day, which fell on Monday.

Nine winners were selected from 1,874 books - usually non-literature - published in 2017 nationwide, and the works were jointly appraised by 81 libraries and a 14-member panel.
