The introduction of poetry and bookstores into historical buildings allows citizens and tourists to feel the charm of history while reading poetry. Recently, the reading space of the Beishufang Xinhua Poetry Bookstore was unveiled in the former site of the Manchu Railway Library during the Manchukoku period. After careful renovation, this cultural building bearing historical memories not only retained its original features, but also incorporated modern design concepts, making it the first specialized poetry bookstore in Jilin Province, with new vitality and vigor.

 

 The quaint and elegant architectural style of the former site of the Manchu Railway Library complements the charm of poetry. With warm, simple and unsophisticated decorations, classic poetry works of all times and all over the world are on display on the shelf, including masterpieces such as the Book of Songs, Chuci, poetry in the Tang Dynasty and lyrics in the Song Dynasty, works of renowned masters such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Pushkin and Tagore, and, of course, countless excellent contemporary poems. Here, readers can calm down, have a cup of fragrant tea and read a good poem, allowing their minds wander in the ocean of poetry, and let their thoughts find resonance in the world of poetry.

 

According to the staff, the former site of the Manchu Railway Library bore witness to the historical vicissitudes of Changchun. The Xinhua Poetry Bookstore was inaugurated here, which is a blend of history and modernity, but also a cultural inheritance and innovation. Here, readers can appreciate classic poetry, experience the charm of poetry, and appreciate the glamour of different cultures and arts at home and abroad. Next, a cultural space integrating reading, communication, creation and experience will be created in the Beishufang Xinhua Poetry Bookstore with the poetry as the medium in the form of poetry recital, poetry creation lectures and cultural experience activities. This space aims to provide readers with rich and varied cultural experiences and art popularization services, so that poetry culture can glow with new vigor and vitality in the new era.
