Q: What is the name of World Reading Day? A: World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, is also known as World Book Day.

From 65438 to 0972, UNESCO issued a call to the whole world to "move towards a reading society", requiring all members of society to read books, so that reading becomes an indispensable part of people's daily life.

The proposal to set up World Reading Day was put forward by Spain, and its inspiration came from the "St. George's Day" in Catalonia, Spain. Legend has it that a beautiful princess in Catalonia, Spain was trapped in the mountains by a dragon, and the warrior George defeated the dragon alone and rescued the princess.

After being rescued, the princess gave George a book as a gift, which became a symbol of courage and strength. Therefore, April 23rd became "St George's Day". During the festival, Catalan residents have the custom of giving roses and books to their relatives and friends.

From 65438 to 0995, the International Publishers Association put forward the idea of "World Reading Day" at the 25th Global Congress, and the Spanish government submitted the plan to UNESCO. Later, Russia thought that "World Reading Day" should also add the concept of copyright. At that time, UNESCO declared April 23rd as "World Reading Day", and devoted itself to promoting reading, publishing and intellectual property protection to the whole world.

The purpose and theme of the establishment of World Reading Day is to hope that people scattered around the world, no matter whether you are old or young, whether you are poor or rich, whether you are sick or healthy, can enjoy reading, respect and thank the masters of literature, culture, science and thought who have made great contributions to human civilization, and can protect intellectual property rights.
