The inspiration for UNESCO to choose April 23rd as World Reading Day comes from a beautiful legend. April 23rd is Saint George's Day in Catalonia, Spain.

Legend has it that the beautiful princess was trapped in the deep mountain by the dragon, and the warrior George defeated the dragon alone and rescued the princess; The present that the princess gave George was a book. Become a symbol of courage and strength from this book.

The purpose of World Book Day is to hope that people scattered around the world, no matter whether you are old or young, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are sick or healthy, can enjoy reading, respect and thank the literary, cultural, scientific and ideological masters who have made great contributions to human civilization, and protect intellectual property rights.

Every year, on this day, 100 countries in the world hold various celebrations and book promotion activities, but this day is not widely known in China. In recent years, some publishing houses and bookstores have begun to hold some public welfare activities.
