On April 29, the Pingtan-Taiwan Historical Classical Literature Research Center and Archive was officially launched in Pingtan, the closest place on the mainland to the island of Taiwan, marking a new chapter in cross-Straits cultural exchange. The event gathered scholars and cultural enthusiasts from both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

The ceremony featured the appointment of research and advisory members and honored donors who contributed rare books and artifacts related to Pingtan and Taiwan. These materials now form a valuable foundation for future studies.

A forum followed the opening, with experts discussing the preservation and digitalization of classical texts and the role of local literature in cultural transmission.

The center aims to advance the study, protection, and sharing of shared heritage, deepening cultural ties between Pingtan and Taiwan.
