in the National Library of China and the analyze of great folk literature. So the lecture will be mainly divided in four parts. The first, a brave review of great literature.

And then I'd like to talk about Curtin's status of great literature. And finally, I want to talk about folk literature and the special collection construction. Now let's begin with part one. Oh, this is a brave background. This is the National Library of China.

It's the biggest library in Asia. And it was established on September 9, 1909. Here is the old building. This is the new building.

Yeah, as early as January 1912, the library had began to collect the great literature. And in June 1921, the graduate studies and the iterations submitted

by foreign graduates were accepted in collection. In April 1956, the National Library of China publicly collected scientific research materials through a newspaper. In July 1964, the National Library

of China systematically collected national-wide academic conference materials. By 18th, the process of collection in the National Library was basically in a scattered and chaotic state. Fortunately, it was not until 1885

that the National Library had established of special force domestic data collecting department, which specialized in the collection of GL, and began to investigate, collect, arrange all the great literature out there.

In late 18th, the whole number was up to 100,000 copies. It was unexpected such massive materials were gathered in a short time. So, however, due to limited human resources, there were some staggering difficulty in terms

of documents processing. So, according to the mission about in early 19th NLC, justice is staggered primarily focused on these local history and the genealogy literature instead of comprehensive collection.

Meanwhile, certain institutions such as the National Library, local chronics, and genealogy literature center were established. Afterward, also on the other hand, the DDCD was abolished. Then it come to new, the millennium at the beginning of 2003, the newly revised regulation on the selection

of NLC documents released the collection of great literature, formulated the reference range for collection. In January, as you can see from the slide, the NLCs,

the NLC collection of great literature has roughly gone through four states. The scatter, the scatter interest by the 1980s, the comprehensive interest is 1980s to the 1990s.

The selective interest is the early 1990s to the mid 1990s. And the last special interest is the late 1990s to present. So in the following part, I'd like to introduce an overview of collection of great literature

by NLC in the past decade. So in 2008, the Chinese information group were set up which specialized deal with GL for purpose of providing valuable and professional service for some major national level projects.

It collected various and numerous GLs from a wide range, just like government situation, construction, and exact term. And according to the statistics from 2008 and to 2017,

a total of up to 100,000 books were included in the Chinese information group in the past 10 years. With the experience of the previous literature collection, major collection scope set

by CLG included academic conference literature, research report, folk literature, data completion, and the other documents. In the course of 10 years, collection is observed that the folk literature accounting for around one-third of the total number of great literature ranking first,

followed by data complication and the research report. Just as what you can see the picture about, and it's not difficult to see that the folk literature in the great literature database from the NLC currently takes up a lot of proportion

and which has prominent feeder in terms of both documents' characteristic and document value. So the next part I will show you an overview of the folk literature in China. So what is the folk literature? Academically, it's clearly by Professor Zheng Zhenman

from the Xiamen University. The literature is formed and used in daily life of the people. The folk literature is produced by and spread among people. So to some degree, it could embody all aspects of people's life in the long historical review.

Considering its historical, national, and artistic nature, it could demonstrate of society and history from a malady-domestinated perspective for future generation and plays a key role

of quarter understanding. Nowadays, more than 20,000 accounts and 15 volumes of great folk literature are collected in NLC. The great folk literature in the NLC collection and could generally be divided into three categories.

The first folk customer and the second literary work and the last is the history materials. The most, specifically the folk customers includes folklores, parable, art and craft, and folk culture materials. The most distinguished type among them

could be ratified as a tangible culture heritage. Folk literary work can be represented by folk poetry and folk as a logic. The folk history materials mainly consist of revolutionary historical materials,

colleague chronic, and memoir exacter. So, intriguingly, how we collect this difficult to track materials in efficient way. At Pride, the folk literature in our library for the most part is purchased from booksellers

or accepted through donation project. The purchase should be perceived by list of title for our selections supplied by booksellers. Now we have a lot of booksellers cooperate with us for a long time.

However, acceptance of donation can be through individuals or groups. The first one is more disparate but varied while donations from group organization are more fixed and systematic and also more continuous. The main source of donation mainly includes

poetry relative institution, various culture institution, research group, exacter. Now, the last talk about special construction of folk poetry. As we know, the poetry originate from the folk belongs to the real grassroots literature.

Tang Dynasty, Poets, Li Bai Du Fu, and Bai Ji and so on are well known. According statistics, there are more than 5,000 cans of great folk poetry literature in the collection among which contemporary poetry calls for 98%.

Showing poetry in China is greatly favored by the general public and have a potential to develop further. On the other hand, it also shows that contemporary poetry is a kind of closer acquisition and easier to collect.

Now a total, according to the donation information table of the Chinese Reference Group, currently there are a total of 166 Poetry Association, Society, and other poetry relative groups in the country regularly donate poetry documents. And the nice donation groups are divided by region.

Look at this slide. As showing in the figure, it can be easily to see that the donation group are all over the world and easily to see that more poetry groups

in central, this, like this, what this, in central, the south part of China, and also their willingness to donate is more positive. So the last question is, oh, yeah. How can I get to the construction of folk poetry?

How to collect and how to use it? Since its representativeness and the significance, there are necessary steps to better promote it. And the first, we can maintain the donation relationship with the institution, colleague, and certain poetry group through which we could obtain stable

and continuous poetry documents. And then we can to through the internet website to search some information of resource and groups information to track the materials. And second, we can to making a catalog through the classification of poetry

depending on the content of the literature. We could set special section for better research and development. Is, that's all? It's finished my report.

So thank you for listening and attention. Thank you very much. Yeah, if you want to know more about details and more something, you can to send an email to me. I can to imply in time. Thank you so much. Thank you.
