This year marks the thirteenth World Book Day

April 23 is a day that should be remembered by those who read. On April 23, 1564, the English dramatist William Shakespeare was born. On the same day in 1616, Shakespeare died.

Shakespeare is the pride of England, the pride of Europe, and the pride of the whole world. His influence does not belong to one era, but to all centuries. Also on April 23, 1616, Cervantes, a Spanish family, died.

His masterpiece "Don Quixote" is a famous book known to all readers all over the world. In order to promote the style of reading and to commemorate the two world-class literary masters, in 1995, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) chose April 23 as World Book Day to announce to the world. Since then, the reader has his own festival.

It's an exhilarating day, a heart-pounding day. On this day, there will be many activities about reading in countries around the world, which is a feast that readers dream of. The French thinker Montaigne believed that there are three things in a person's life that require divine fellowship:

Love, friendship, and books. He compares reading to love and friendship, which shows its importance to life. Almost all thinkers have quotes about reading, and among these quotes, the words of the Englishman Bacon are the most incisive.

"Readers can be fun, elegant and capable," he said. "The clever man despises learning, the shallow man is persuaded to learn, but the wise man can make use of it."

History makes people wise, poetry makes people rich, mathematics makes people precise, natural philosophy makes people profound, ethics makes people dignified, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent. In short, reading can cultivate personality, and not only that, but reading can also eradicate all psychological obstacles, just as proper exercise can cure certain physical diseases. As a lifelong reader who has loved and benefited from books, on the occasion of the 13th World Book Day, I would like to remind my fellow readers:

Remembering this day, the reader also has his own festival! Remembering this day, we will remember the importance of reading, and we will renew our love affair with books. In ancient times, there was a story about the "marriage book" of the thinker Wang Fu.

When everyone was looking forward to what kind of dowry this old man had prepared for his daughter, they didn't expect to open the box and see that it was full of books. This is a story that we should ponder. What gifts should we prepare for World Book Day for our loved ones and friends?

World Book Day is celebrated on April 23 every year. The full name of World Book Day is "World Book and Copyright Day", also known as "World Book Day". On November 15, 1995, April 23 was officially designated as "World Book Day".

It was established to encourage more people to read and write, and hoped that all people would respect and thank the masters of literature, culture, science and thought who have made great contributions to human civilization, and protect intellectual property rights.

Every year on this day, more than 100 countries around the world hold various celebrations and book promotions.

The proposal for World Book Day was proposed by Spain and was inspired by the "São Jorge's Day" in Catalonia, Spain. According to Library Magazine, World Book Day** is a legend in Catalonia, Spain: "The beautiful princess was trapped in the mountains by the evil dragon, and the warrior George defeated the evil dragon alone and rescued the princess; The princess's gift to George in return was a book.

Since then, the book has become a symbol of courage and strength. April 23 becomes "St. George's Day". During the festival, Catalan residents have the custom of giving roses and books to relatives and friends.

April 23 is a day as a symbol of world literature and has a special meaning in the field of world literature. April 23, 1616 marks the anniversary of the death of the famous Spanish writer Cervantes, the famous English writer Shakespeare, and the Peruvian writer Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. As a result, UNESCO declared 23 April as World Book Day.

World Book Day is celebrated on April 23 every year, and its purpose is to promote more scattered people to read and write, whether they are poor or rich, they can enjoy the fun of reading through books, enrich their hearts, World Book Day was established in 1995, and various celebrations and book promotion activities will be held on this day every year.
