In order to promote “green reading”, so that the general public, through sharing in the profound collection of the national treasures, can have a closer look at the interesting daily life of the ancient literati, the National Central Library organized with Taipei Book Fair Foundation, an ancient documents exhibition under the theme:“Leisurely traveling the universe:Ming Dynasty literati’s way of Living (悠遊天下:明代文人的樂活方式)".

The activity will exhibit 28 titles, a total of 51 volumes of Ming Dynasty rare books which contain 7 titles of rarely existing unique copies. These are ranked as “important ancient objects” level by the Council of Cultural Affairs. This is the first time these ancient documents make their public appearance outside the NCL.

The exhibition will be divided into 4 themes: literati’s leisure life, drama and literature, health conception, and embracing all natures, displaying the works of Ming scholars’ reading taste, respect for nature, and emphasis on life, which is very much close to the contemporary concept of green living.

Meanwhile, for the service of readers of different ages, and providing researchers with easy channel to appreciate the wisdom of the ancients, this event will also be equipped with the e-readers to allow the public to enjoy the real-time viewing of the leisurely life of Ming Dynasty scholars.
