推开南京大学仙林校区图书馆古籍书库的门,近2000平方米的空间里,近40万册线装古籍静静躺在书架上,最早的宋刻本距今近千年。
其中大部分珍贵文献曾在抗战烽火中经历“文化长征”。1937年,金陵大学(南京大学源头之一)中国文化研究所将95箱、一万多册善本古籍紧急托付给江西婺源的吴炼云先生。
南京大学图书馆古籍特藏部主任李丹说,最触动她的是1947年这批书归来时,不但没少,反而更多了。“师生们在流亡途中不断打捞散落在战火里的文献,把文明的碎片一片片捡回来。”

这段历史通过讲座、短片和“书籍流亡路”重走活动,正被越来越多的年轻人了解。与此同时,南大图书馆还通过开设体验课、举办展览等方式,让典籍与青年学子走得更近,选课学生涵盖化学、生物、人工智能、计算机等专业,远超最初预期。“文运与国运相牵,文脉与国脉相连。让年轻人知道每一册古籍曾经历过什么,他们才会真正理解‘保护’的分量。”李丹说。
南京大学文学院中国古典文献学专业博士生李卉谈起第一次上手修复仿真教具时的感受:“拿到皱皱巴巴一团的书时,心里很没底,难以想象第一次上手就要面对这么复杂的情况。但跟着老师一步步做下来,最后将所有修好的书叶压平对折装订好的那一刻,有非常强烈的成就感。”
上完课后,李卉对古籍保护有了更深的理解。她说,古籍修复讲求“修旧如旧”“最小干预”“过程可逆”,不仅是要修补破损,还要保留它身上经历的岁月流转,保留其作为历史见证物的所有信息。

跨学科的碰撞也为传统修复带来新视角,南京大学图书馆古籍特藏部古籍修复师陈婧说,化学专业的同学关注纸张纤维老化和传统修复材料的潜在副作用,人工智能专业的同学思考数字化图像分割、缺损文字虚拟补全,甚至通过机器学习预判纸张劣化趋势。“过去我可能只知道要怎么修效果会好,现在他们会问‘为什么这样做效果会好、会不会有隐患、可不可以量化评估。’”近年来,南京大学图书馆与化学学院高分子专业团队合作,开展与古籍修复相关的实验。
“古籍修复最需要的是敬畏心和耐心。”陈婧说,“片纸弥珍,需要对每个小碎片、小细节都保持原样。这是一项繁琐与重复的工作,短时间内看不到成果,所以不能急躁,才能掌控每个步骤的分寸。”
“一个修复师终其一生,能修复的古籍数量都是有限的。但如果我们能让更多不同专业的年轻人认识到古籍的价值、愿意用自己的方式参与进来,那古籍保护的力量就是源源不断的,这不是加法,而是乘法。”李丹说。(完)

The Hong Kong Education Bureau has approved tuition fee hikes for 185 private, semi-private, and international schools for the 2026-27 academic year, with average increases ranging from 4% to 4.75%.

Students, teachers, and parents marched in cities across France on Tuesday, blockading hundreds of schools to demand improvements to understaffed and dilapidated classrooms following a fortnight of escalating protests.

The Nanshi Education Bureau commissioned Xinsheng Elementary School to compile two educational resources, "Campus Safety Handbook" and "I am a Campus Privacy Helper", to guide students to identify digital risks, respect privacy and improve self-protection capabilities through life-oriented content.

The National Miaoli Agricultural and Industrial University has launched an emerging technology smart manufacturing robot training center, introducing AI, smart manufacturing, robots and Internet of Things technologies, combining teaching, practice, research and development and industry-university cooperation to cultivate students' practical and innovative abilities, and develop into an emerging technology education and resource sharing base in the Taozhu Miaojin region.

The Hsinchu City Government sought subsidies from the Ministry of Education and approved the renovation project for old toilets in public primary and secondary schools in Hsinchu City from 114 to 116 years (the second batch). This year, 28 toilets in 9 schools were subsidized, with a total cost of more than 18.31 million yuan. Old toilets in Jiushe, Longshan and other schools will be improved to create a safe, bright and barrier-free toilet environment.

The Jin Ying Lecture of the Department of Finance at National Chengchi University and KGI collaborated to offer the course "Modern Financial Practice: Practices and Challenges of Asset Management". A total of 8 classes are combined with industry practices and are taught by senior executives. Through practical experience, game competitions and other methods, students can understand the asset management industry and explore career directions. Last year, some students joined KGI's research team after graduation.
