Since November, a pioneering micro-drama series dedicated to the preservation of ancient texts has been streaming online. Marking the first of its kind to address this crucial subject, the series comprises 15 episodes, each lasting between three to five minutes.
The concise format has resonated with young audiences, proving popular and effectively raising awareness about the importance of safeguarding ancient books for future generations. By blending cultural heritage with modern storytelling techniques, the series brings the significance of these texts to a digital-savvy demographic.
This innovative project is a collaborative effort between the National Library of China, Yangshipin streaming platform of China Media Group, and the Hongguo Short Drama Platform under Douyin Group. Together, they aim to make the preservation of ancient literature both engaging and accessible.
