Recently, as the "Dongguan Cultural Boutique Special Fund Support Project", the second series of "Dongguan Historical Documents Series" (68 volumes) was published. On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Guancheng Library, in order to further promote the culture of Dongguan and highlight the soft power of Dongguan culture, on December 15, the opening ceremony of the "Dongguan Historical Literature Series" (Second Edition) and the opening ceremony of the "Integrity and Innovation and Continuation of the Cultural Context - Dongguan Historical and Township Literature Collation Achievement Exhibition" was held in the Guancheng Library.
The largest and most complete publishing project in Dongguan's history.
In 2015, taking advantage of the publication of the "Guangzhou Canon", in order to rescue the relics of Dongguan historical documents, Guancheng Library and Guangdong Provincial Zhongshan Library jointly established a project to publish a large-scale collection of local historical documents in the form of "photocopying" - "Dongguan Historical Literature Series", which has published 115 volumes, including 520 kinds of works on the history and culture of Dongguan and the writings of Dongguan people, which is the largest and most complete publishing project in the history of Dongguan. The first series (47 volumes) was published in 2017.
The second series of the "Dongguan Historical Literature Series", a total of 68 volumes, mainly includes 321 kinds of Dongguan documents from the late Qing Dynasty to the first time, covering philosophy, religion, sociology, politics, law, economics, linguistics, literature, art, history, geography, medicine, agriculture and other disciplines. Compared with the first series, the second series includes a more diverse variety of literature, and one of the highlights is that it includes a large number of Dongguan genealogies and ** periodicals. In 2019, the series also received 1 million yuan from the special fund of Dongguan Cultural Boutique.
The historical texture of Guanyi culture is deduced in the documents of the township.
On the occasion of the first release of the "Dongguan Historical Literature Series" (second series), Guancheng Library continued to build the brand of "One Book, One Exhibition", and carefully planned the "Integrity and Innovation, Continuing the Cultural Context - Dongguan Past Dynasties Township Literature Collation Achievement Exhibition". The exhibition is in the form of "first-class literature", for the first time to systematically sort out the outstanding achievements of Dongguan since ancient times, divided into three parts: "Lingnan Famous Towns, Humanistic Origins", "Hidden Virtue and Hidden Light, Legacy of the Ancestors", and "Prosperous Revision of Classics and Continuation of the Context", showing the profound heritage of Dongguan township literature to be circulated, the collation of different types of documents such as ancient poetry collections, square chronicles, genealogies, etc., as well as the important achievements of various ** institutions and cultural units in sorting out the works of predecessors since the founding of New China.
There are nearly 20 kinds of ancient books and ** documents on display this time, and nearly 60 kinds of Dongguan township documents (more than 250 volumes) published after 1949.
Interestingly, during the exhibition, in order to let readers feel the unique charm of Guanyi culture between paper and ink, Guancheng Library will also carry out eight engraving printing experience activities, which will be held once every half month. The activity specially selected the first page of the preface of [Kangxi] "Dongguan County Chronicles" and made it into a wooden engraving, so that readers can understand the basic process of engraving printing, and can experience the production process of inking and printing, and feel the unique charm of traditional printing technology.
