As the Guest of Honor, China brought to the Book Fair the theme “Reading China”. Shandong Publishing&Media Co., Ltd carefully prepared and selected books for this important international book exhibition in the Belt and Road Initiatives country.

开幕式当天，作为阿布扎比国际书展中国主宾国活动之一，山东美术出版社有限公司向黎巴嫩科学出版社输出《麒麟送子考索》英文版权签约仪式在中国主宾活动区成功举办。

On the opening day, the signing ceremony of Shandong Fine Arts Publishing Co. Ltd.’s export of the copyright of Research on Kirin Songzi to Lebanon Science Press was held in the Guest of Honor area as one of the theme activities.

本次输出版权的《麒麟送子考索》一书，是由中国著名的工艺美术史论家、民艺学研究创始人张道一教授撰写的。该书从麒麟这一传统文化符号入手，呈现了民间艺术所缔造的灿烂辉煌的华夏文明。传统文化是中华民族跻身世界民族之林的重要基础，在传承的基础上，提炼精华、大胆创新、兼容并包，探索传统民艺与现代艺术的融合发展之路，是本书的价值所在。

The book Research on Kirin Songzi was written by Zhang Daoyi, a famous Chinese critic on arts and crafts History and founder of research on folk art. Traditional culture is the base of Chinese people and Kirin is one of the important cultural symbols. This book showcases the splendid Chinese civilization and explores the possible combination of traditional folk art and modern art.

中国国家新闻出版广电总局进口管理司巡视员陈英明先生前来祝贺。他希望将中国和包括黎巴嫩在内的阿拉伯国家的优秀图书互译出版，为中国和阿拉伯国家读者提供更加丰富的图书，让中阿读者通过阅读了解更多的中阿文化艺术，促进中阿文化交流。

Mr. Chen Yingming, the inspector of Import and Export Division of State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China, came to show his congratulations. He hoped that China and the Arab countries like Lebanon could import, translate and publish good books from each other, so that readers can learn more about both Chinese and Arabic culture and cultural communication can be promoted.

山东出版传媒股份有限公司董事长张志华先生出席了签约仪式并致辞。张志华董事长说，山东是孔孟之乡，有着深厚的历史文化积淀。他希望借麒麟这只神兽，把友谊和良好的祝愿送给全世界的朋友们，也希望由此开启山东美术出版社与黎巴嫩科学出版社长期友好合作的新篇章。

Mr. Zhang Zhihua, Chairman of Shandong Publishing&Media Co., Ltd. attended the signing ceremony and delivered his speech. He said that as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, Shandong has a profound historical and cultural accumulation. He hoped that Kirin, the mythical animal of China, can bring friendship and good wishes to the world and open the new chapter of the long-term cooperation between Shandong Fine Arts Publishing House and Lebanon Science Press.

作为中国主宾国系列活动之一，山东美术出版社和黎巴嫩科学出版社的签约既是山东出版“走出去”的重要成果，也是让国外读者了解中国传统文化独特魅力的一次良机。两家同样有着三十多年历史的专业出版社将以此次合作为开端，通过传统文化的交流，为中国和阿拉伯之间的文化交流增添一座桥梁。

As an important part of the Guest of Honor activities, this signing ceremony is a great achievement of Shandong publishing houses. The cooperation of the two publishing houses that both have histories of more than thirty years can be a cultural bridge that links the two countries and two different cultures. Through this bridge, oversea readers can have the opportunity to feel and touch the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
