Message out already, public opinion is
mixed. Some people think that, there should be such a law, guarantee the
equalization of public cultural services, ensure the entity bookstore and the
construction of public library, etc. There are also people who believe that
reading is the behavior of the individual, there is no need for legislation. A
netizen said: "the future does not read books or read little is the
illegal", even the People's Daily published "can read by legislating"
such articles.
What do we need a law about reading? What
reading legislation can truly advancing the reading? The answer is assured. Any
doubt, this relationship from the reading of ignorance.
I have always stressed that reading is the
behavior of the individual, the development of a person's spirit is his reading
history, however, no one can be pure island, reading side is individual
behavior, the other side, and the fate of nation and country, because the
spirit of a nation state, depends in part on the reading level of the nation.
Basically, a nation, is not a nation's
competitiveness depends on its material force, but on its spiritual strength;
And a country, the spirit of a nation, not depend on the nation's population,
and more depends on its ability of reading. International society for reading
in reading for the greatest benefit of mankind, once said in a report, reading
ability of high and low, directly affect the a country and nation's future.
Because reading can strengthen cultural identity, condensed state and, rouse
national spirit, and can improve the quality of the citizens, ChunHua social
ethos, construct the core value. Because reading is so important, many
countries in the world is in the form of legislation to promote the reading.
So, not to the legislation is not the
problem, but the content of the legislation should include what aspects.
Personally, the promotion of nationwide reading movement ordinance first should
standardize the government behavior.
Such as should regulate public library
construction. Set at various levels and standards of the construction of the
library, the library building area, environmental facilities, the number of
books and standard, service quality and make corresponding provisions. Advocate
and encourage all kinds of education at all levels, cultural departments and
social organizations, actively support and help the economy of rural and
underdeveloped areas construction of the library, library and other places of
public reading. The act of the library as soon as possible.
Such as, the responsibility of the
government support should be made entity bookstore. Bookstore is the culture of
city green land, as well as the spirit of the living room of the city. Now due
to the low discount book sales network, the entity bookstore management
difficulties, a group of outstanding bookstore survival predicament, be badly
in need of government through tax breaks, rent subsidies, purchasing way of
public services to support.
In addition, the excellent books should be
encouraged to promote work, let citizens know excellent books published
information as soon as possible, arouse the desire of readers and enthusiasm.
Should promote independent review system, recommend excellent books for the
whole society.
In addition, still should establish
national reading day or national reading section. Recommend that each year on
September 28, as a national reading day, because this day is the Chinese
Confucian representative of Confucius's birthday. Which advocates the spirit of
Confucius put forward "study", promote the whole society. During the
reading or reading festival, can carry out reading salon, composition,
knowledge contests, speech contest, and scholarly family selection and campus
activities, create a good study atmosphere, promote the sustainable development
of reading activities.
Reading should also establish a national
promotion fund, by purchasing way of public service, reading promotion agency
support folk research, experiment and extension work, reward contribute to
nationwide reading character and institutions, to carry out similar to
Britain's "reading the starting line" plan, etc. At the same time,
through the "reading tutoring volunteer" and so on the way, provide
reading services for disadvantaged groups and method guidance.
Regulations on the promotion of nationwide
reading movement, of course, people's behavior should not and could not have
regulation, can't be what people reading, read many books. Some recommended
books, is provides the reader with a map of "reading". Is there a
"map", what kind of "map", meaning is different. For many
ordinary parents and teachers, in 400000 kinds of books published every year,
choose the books they need, it is very difficult, according to the recommended
books to take a first reading, to improve the reading ability and cultivate the
reading grade, for the next new individuality reading laid a solid foundation.
Also, the regulations on the promotion of nationwide reading movement for those
who already have good reading habit and interest of people, may not have too
big effect, but the governments at all levels to promote reading to the
standard work, is an important legal basis. And for those who are not reading
habits and interests, this law, apparently will also be able to create a better
reading atmosphere and environment for them.
The reality of our nationwide reading dream
is still very far away. Reading
