Recently, the 13th New Reading China Children’s Book List (2025) was grandly unveiled in Beijing. Growing Up in Pingyao (3-volume series) has been successfully named to its “100 Best Books” list in recognition of its outstanding original quality and profound cultural value! Officially released in July 2025, this series was co-published by WHITR-AP Shanghai, the College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP) at Tongji University, Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute Co., Ltd., Yishao Culture (Shanghai), and the World Publishing Xi'an Co., Ltd.. The picture books interpret a World Heritage site from a child’s perspective, allowing the cultural DNA of the thousand-year-old city to take root in young hearts and minds. This honor represents a high recognition of both the books’ quality and their value in promoting cultural heritage.

“新阅读中国童书榜”由国家全民阅读形象代言人、教育家朱永新教授于 2012 年创办，新阅读研究院主办，以 “给最美丽的童年选最美好的童书” 为宗旨，始终坚守公益性、纯粹性、权威性，全程不收取任何参评费用。历经十余年沉淀，该榜单已成为国内极具公信力与影响力的权威童书评选，是出版界、教育界、图书馆界公认的童书风向标。

The “New Reading China Children‘s Book List” (formerly known as the “China Children’s Book List”) was established in 2012 by the renowned educator, Professor Zhu Yongxin, a National Spokesperson for Nationwide Reading and a laureate of the IBBY-iRead Outstanding Reading Promoter Award and the Yidan Prize for Education Development. Guided by the principle of “Selecting the Most Beautiful Books for the Most Beautiful Childhood”, the list has always remained public-spirited, impartial, and authoritative, never charging any entry fees throughout the entire evaluation process. After more than a decade of development, it has become one of the most credible and influential authorities on children’s literature in China, widely recognized as a definitive barometer in publishing, education, and library circles.

本届榜单评选流程严谨规范，面向全国出版社征集当年出版的简体中文童书，覆盖图画书、科普书、儿童文学等多元品类，原创作品占比超七成。评选整合百余家出版社报送、20 余个行业榜单及评委推荐书目，经多轮严格筛选与评审，精准剔除不符合年龄适配、内容质量、原创性要求的作品。最终，由儿童文学研究者、评论家、出版人、阅读推广人、教育专家与主流媒体组成的顶尖评委团，围绕思想性、艺术性、儿童适配性、文化价值、阅读推广价值五大维度综合考量，从 1461 种参评书目中遴选出 100 部优质童书，代表中国少儿出版年度最高品质成果。

This year’s selection process was methodical and rigorous. It was open to simplified-Chinese children’s books published that year and submitted by publishers nationwide, covering multiple categories including picture books, popular science, and children’s literature. Submitted titles comprised over 70% original works. The evaluation integrated entries from over 100 publishing houses, more than 20 industry book lists, and recommendations from judges. After multiple rounds of strict screening and review, titles that did not meet the criteria for age-appropriateness, content quality, or originality were accurately eliminated. Finally, a top-tier jury panel composed of children’s literature researchers, critics, publishers, reading promoters, education experts, and mainstream media representatives conducted a comprehensive assessment based on five key dimensions: thematic depth, artistry, child-appropriateness, cultural value, and reading promotion value. From a total of 1,461 entries, 100 high-quality children’s books were selected, representing the year’s finest achievements in Chinese children’s publishing.

《我在平遥长大》（全 3 册）是国内首套聚焦平遥古城突出普遍价值（OUV）阐释的原创遗产故事绘本，以 “让遗产走进童年” 为初心，历时五年匠心打磨，历经共创营、专家研讨、多轮优化修改。区别于传统历史读物或百科全书的说明式叙述，本书采用沉浸式叙事手法，成功填补了“遗产知识与成长故事双线融合” 的青少年遗产科普绘本空白。作品画面细腻治愈、文字温暖真挚，兼具知识性与可读性，是适合亲子共读与小学阶段自主阅读的优质原创人文童书。

Growing Up in Pingyao (3-volume series) is the first original heritage story picture books in China that focuses on interpreting the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the Ancient City of Pingyao. With the mission of “bringing heritage into childhood,” the series was meticulously crafted over five years, going through co-creation camps, expert consultations, and multiple rounds of revisions. Departing from the expository narrative often found in traditional history books or encyclopedias, the series adopts an immersive storytelling approach, successfully filling the gap in youth heritage popularization byweaving together heritage knowledge and coming-of-age stories within a single dual-track narrative. With its exquisite, heartwarming illustrations and tender, sincere words, this original series is both informative and readable, making it ideal for parent-child reading and independent reading by primary school students.

绘本紧扣平遥古城“中国汉民族城市建筑与规划的杰出范例”“中国金融发展的重要见证”“文化、经济、社会及宗教发展的完整画卷”三个突出普遍价值，以不同时代的平遥少年为主角，通过《和爷爷去打更》《票号小学徒》《一起赶庙会》三个故事，将营城智慧、晋商文化、市井百态与成长故事自然融合，带领小读者穿越时空，在鲜活的生活图景中感知中华文明的厚重与温度。专业知识以一种契合儿童阅读兴趣与认知规律的方式自然融入故事，让孩子轻松读懂古城、爱上传统文化。

Centering on the three core OUV criteria of the Ancient City of Pingyao—“an exceptional example of Han Chinese urban planning and architecture”, “a significant testament to the development of Chinese finance” and “a complete panorama of cultural, economic, social and religious development”—the series features young Pingyao protagonists from different eras. Through three stories, Pounding the Night Watch with Grandpa, An Apprentice in a Piaohao, and Let‘s Go to the Temple Fair, it naturally integrates the wisdom of city planning, Shanxi merchant culture, and full spectrum of urban folk life with the children’s personal journeys. The stories lead young readers across time, allowing them to experience the profound depth and enduring vitality of Chinese civilization through vivid scenes of everyday life. Specialized knowledge is organically woven into the stories in a way that sparks children’s interest and aligns with their cognitive development, enabling them to easily understand the ancient city and develop a love for traditional culture.

从专家主导到全民参与，从文物保护到以人为核心的可持续发展，平遥绘本项目正是遗产保护新趋势的生动实践。《我在平遥长大》以 “世界遗产 + 儿童绘本” 的创新形态，成功打通遗产科普与童书创作的边界，传递遗产保护理念与中华优秀传统文化，助力青少年在阅读中建立文化认同与文化自信，让遗产保护的种子在童心扎根。

The Pingyao picture book project is a vivid embodiment of the latest trends in heritage conservation—a shift from expert-led initiatives to broad public engagement, and from the preservation of physical structures to people-centered sustainable development. Growing Up in Pingyao, through its innovative fusion of World Heritage and children’s picture books, has successfully bridged the fields of heritage education and children’s publishing. By conveying the principles of heritage conservation and the best of traditional Chinese culture, it helps young readers build cultural identity and confidence through reading, allowing the seeds of heritage protection to take root in their hearts and minds.

未来，主创团队将以此次上榜为新起点，通过图书分享会、平遥古城研学等多元活动，持续推广绘本与遗产文化，让这套书陪伴更多孩子在阅读中遇见平遥、读懂中国，让世界遗产真正活在当下、走进童心、代代相传。

Moving forward, the creative team will use this recognition as a new starting point. Through a diverse range of activities, including book-sharing events and study tours in the Ancient City of Pingyao, we will continue to promote the picture books and the heritage culture they embody. Our goal is to accompany more children on a journey to encounter Pingyao and understand China through reading, so that the World Heritage truly lives in the present, enters young hearts, and is passed on from generation to generation.
