Masterpieces are not meant to be shelved, nor are they meant to be unreadable no matter how much they are read. On the day before the opening of the 2023 Shanghai Book Fair, Shanghai Translation Publishing House walked into Shanghai Third Girls' High School. At the "Publishing Hand in Hand Education" press conference, Yang Lilan, a senior teacher at Shanghai Third Girls' High School, presented a unique classic drama lesson titled "Resurrection".

Shanghai Translation Publishing House has invested funds in the research and development of various forms of digital resources, with the core content of the star book series "Translation Classics" with 45 years of accumulation, to create composite publications and jointly research new models of online and offline integrated reading with schools and external institutions. They connect paper books with digital resources through technological means, connect the content research and development capabilities of publishing houses with the teaching practices of schools, and connect interactive reading experiences with public reading spaces and research spaces. They hope to break down the barriers between "classic" and "present", transform "passive reading" into "active exploration", break geographical restrictions, share teacher resources, and better serve education and readers with a "full copyright, multi form" publishing strategy.

"The 'Classic Translation' series of books, affectionately known as' curtain cloth 'and' rainbow color 'by readers, have created a brand of classic works that are recognized by readers with a rigorous editing attitude, high-level translators, high-quality translations, and high-quality binding. However, currently, the domestic publishing market has a wide variety of public translated books, a proliferation of literary classics, and a mix of good and bad, which brings difficulties for teachers, parents, and students to choose from. At the same time, the traditional single paper publishing form cannot fully meet the needs of high-quality reading." Han Weidong, the president of Shanghai Translation Publishing House, said, "In the new environment of digital publishing integration and deepening education reform, we have been thinking about how to leverage the advantages of classic publishing resources to serve high-quality reading." Innovate publishing formats to create high-quality reading experiences for teachers and students that are more conducive to improving their reading abilities

With this original intention in mind, Shanghai Translation Publishing House has planned and designed a literary masterpiece fusion reading and transformation publishing project, which has received financial support from the cultural and creative industry in Shanghai. The paper, electronic, and audio creative course products ensure that students can "see" and "listen" while landing online products offline. With the guidance of professional teachers and the use of spaces such as schools and bookstores, they conduct exploratory and immersive learning practices such as story interpretation, script reading, and theme debates in multiple scenes on and off campus, creating a multi ecological reading path from offline to online and then to offline. The publishing house also invites internationally renowned designers to optimize the overall packaging of related spaces and visual images, hoping that reading is not only a single line transmission of knowledge points, but also an aesthetic journey and collision of innovation and ideas.

Taking reading as the starting point and integrating online and offline methods, the "Masterpiece Upgrade" project aims to guide students to achieve the educational goal of comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor through reading, utilizing methods such as "social school linkage" and "reading+research learning".
