A delightful literary landmark that those who've been know just how amazing it is!

Travel with the Reading Passport to Chengxin Xiaozhu, a community study themed around metrology, located next to the trendy Wen'er Road Wet Market. Daily life envy for West City kids! The first floor hosts the "Measuring the World" temporary exhibition from the Zhejiang Metrology Museum, showcasing the evolution of weighing instruments across dynasties. Measuring the world, quantifying livelihoods. Passion leaves traces, life finds its measure. Discovered an intriguing book "Blooming Splendor"—the more I read, the more I admired the meticulously researched costumes and props in "Magnificent Splendor" and "National Beauty," feasting on the refined grains of historical culture! Many garments, makeup styles, screen patterns, and intangible heritage performances can be traced back to actual cultural relics! The floral crowns of the County Princess, Consort Shu, Xiao Xuexi, and peonies are amalgamations of various intangible heritage crafts. The martial cap court attire with white brush hairpins (lobster-head style), incense weights (fragrance-emitting mat anchors), hidden cushions (resembling bolsters), armrests, inkstone screens, and deer-tail fans—all have prototypes found in ancient paintings! Even the tenderly worded "Letter of Dismissal" comes from Dunhuang manuscripts. Did you catch the creators' flirtatious wink? Reading is a portable sanctuary; books are the balm for sorrow, quietly helping you become yourself. Let reading be the axe that breaks the frozen sea within us!
