As the spiritual coordinate of a city, the library plays a subtle role in the formation of the temperament of the whole city. As fashion capital of the world and romantic city, Paris is world-famous, but in my opinion, Paris is one of the most suitable learning capitals for researchers and scholars in the world. Because, here, there are too many rich libraries, which can be used as spiritual halls for people who love learning and reading. After reading a master's degree, I have to read a lot of books because I have to write a thesis. These books are distributed in different libraries, so I have a general understanding of the libraries in Paris in the past two or three years.

First of all, I will introduce my favorite BULAC library INALCO. Because this school mainly studies Asian languages, especially East Asian languages, books in Chinese, Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan and other languages are particularly rich. You can also find the original works in various languages such as Latin America and other small languages in Europe. When I was doing sinology research, it provided me with rich first-hand sinology materials. While studying, I fell in love with reading China's contemporary novels. There is a set of contemporary novels published by the Chinese Writers Association, as well as a collection of classic novels published by other publishing houses. The most important thing is that there are hundreds of novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are the works of everyone in the Republic of China. Therefore, Hinard Branch is one of the favorite places for Parisian sinologists. Because this school is a language-based research institute, there are many books on linguistics.

The second one is BNF (French National Library), which is absolutely famous. It is said that as long as books published in France, whether vulgar or tall, should be "filed" here. Moreover, BNF also has a large number of Dunhuang classic hand scrolls and precious manuscripts of Dunhuang frescoes and Buddhist scriptures, which were/kloc-brought by French sinologists from Dunhuang, China at the beginning of the 9th century. Unfortunately, the books here can't be checked out, so you can only read them on the spot. But the richness of the French national map makes me feel that this is a paradise for scholars.

The third one I want to introduce is the Sorbonne University in Paris, which is the Sorbonne -BIS library in Paris. This library is the most beautiful and cultured of all the libraries I have been to. As one of the oldest schools in the world, Sorbonne University and Sorbonne Library are as beautiful as medieval churches. The murals on the dome, the ancient bookcases on both sides of the wall and so on often amaze me. As one of the students in Sorbonne, the welfare is that you can borrow 15 books at one time, and you can't help laughing. The most famous schools in Sorbonne are Art College and Philosophy College, so there is a special small room filled with philosophy books. I don't need to introduce literary books. As you can imagine, there must be a lot.

The fourth thing I want to introduce is the Central Library of Paris VII. Paris VII, also known as Diderot University, is a comprehensive liberal arts university. This central library has four floors. The first floor is reception, the second floor is linguistics and literature, the third floor is sociology, and the fourth floor is other liberal arts books. The literature books on the second floor are classified by language and time, including English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and other languages. Each language is classified according to18th century,19th century and 20th century. It couldn't be better.

Fifthly, as the originator of sinology in France, the library of the College de France has a long history and is rich in sinology materials, ranking first in France. If the Chinese books of the Seventh National Congress and Braque are more contemporary books, then the books here are more ancient books. Moreover, the most rare thing is to have a full set of Siku Quanshu, Daozang and Dazhengji. For those who study the traditional knowledge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the materials here are relatively complete, and various sinology lectures are often held here. As long as you have time, you can learn a lot of practical knowledge here.

The sixth is the library of the French Institute of Advanced Research and Practice (EPHE), where the religious books are the most abundant. Moreover, the online books here are also very rich, and you can read pdf files directly online, which is one of the best places to do religious research.

Secondly, there are libraries, such as the French Far East Institute (EFEO) and LCAO, and seven East Asian language institutes in Paris. This type of library is East Asia, and there are many books in Southeast Asian languages.

Finally, I recommend two libraries, St. Barbaise and St. Genevieve, where handsome guys are concentrated. I never let me down every time I go, and I can always see all kinds of handsome guys. I once lamented that if the handsome guys in Strasbourg are almost all in the bar, then the handsome guys in Paris are almost all in the library. However, every time I go to the library, I take my study with me, so I have never accosted any handsome guys.

There are so many libraries in Paris that I can't finish introducing an article. I can only give a general introduction to the places I often go. As the cultural capital of the world, Paris is definitely not worthy of this reputation, and the rich and diverse libraries here are the best proof.
