With the care and support of various sectors of society, children's publishing in China has been continuously developing and expanding, with an overall scale and an increasing number of varieties. It has made positive efforts to meet the reading needs of young people and enrich their spiritual world.

Recently, relevant departments held a research symposium on improving the quality of youth reading materials in Beijing, with representatives from creators, publishers, teachers, parents, and other aspects participating. They organized a special survey on improving the quality of youth reading materials, responding to the attention of people from all walks of life to the quality of youth reading materials and once again sparking public discussions and expectations.

Improving the quality of youth reading materials is the only way to cultivate outstanding talents. Adolescence is a crucial stage for personality formation and knowledge accumulation. Good quality reading materials can stimulate students' interest in reading, cultivate noble humanistic sentiments, cultivate comprehensive qualities and innovative abilities, and lay a solid foundation for future success. In recent years, domestic youth reading materials have made significant progress in terms of both the quantity of categories, the diversity of forms, and the richness of content. The development of the domestic children's book industry started relatively late. In the context of increasingly diverse publishing entities and rapid growth in total volume, it is necessary to pay more attention to the quality of youth reading materials. How to guide the market to stimulate the vitality of the children's publishing industry is crucial for improving the quality of youth reading materials. In addition to increasing policy support for original authors and publishers, it also requires years of patient management to expand the scale of the excellent children's book team.

Improving the quality of youth reading materials is necessary to promote cultural inheritance. Youth reading materials are an important component of the inheritance and development of national culture. Through excellent reading materials, it is possible to spread excellent traditional Chinese culture, cultivate young people's love and pride in Chinese culture, and enable them to better inherit and develop Chinese culture. Meanwhile, improving the quality of youth reading materials is also an important way to promote social harmony and stability. Adolescence is an important stage for individuals to understand the world and establish values. Good quality reading can help teenagers establish a healthy and correct worldview, outlook on life, and values, and actively face life challenges. The Chinese nation has a strong cultural creativity. How to combine excellent traditional cultural elements with modern forms of communication, while using language and forms suitable for young readers to guide them to form a correct understanding of social development, interpersonal relationships, and other issues, and increase their understanding and love for Chinese culture, is an important issue in improving the quality of youth reading.

Improving the quality of youth reading requires the participation of the entire society. How to deliver high-quality books to young readers is also a particularly noteworthy issue. It should be said that after years of growth and accumulation in children's publishing, the stock of high-quality youth reading materials has become quite considerable. Among the constantly released new works on the market, there are also excellent works. In recent years, schools, public libraries, and reading public welfare organizations have made effective efforts in promoting and promoting excellent reading materials through the rise of reading promotion activities. In theory, establishing an objective and fair evaluation system for children's reading materials, enhancing readers' identification ability, can influence the direction of market supply, and promote the output of more high-quality books. Schools, families, the publishing industry, and all sectors of society should take active actions to jointly pay attention to the quality of youth reading materials, the content that children read, and their reading habits and tastes. Schools should strengthen the screening and recommendation of reading materials to provide students with high-quality reading materials; Families should accompany their children in reading, encourage them to choose high-quality reading materials, and engage in active reading communication with them; The publishing industry should increase its attention to the quality of youth reading materials, strengthen the writing and evaluation of youth reading materials; All sectors of society should strengthen supervision, create a good reading atmosphere, and advocate for correct reading concepts and values. Only with the joint efforts of the whole society can the quality of youth reading be truly improved, laying the foundation for the healthy growth of young people and the prosperity and progress of society.

If the youth are strong, China will be strong. With the development of science and technology and the advent of the Internet era, the channels for young people to obtain information are more diverse, so the work of improving the quality of young people's books is more important and necessary. Various sectors of society are paying more attention to youth reading materials, continuously promoting the effective improvement of cultural and ideological content in youth reading materials, and enabling more and more good books to be read by young readers. This will undoubtedly promote the healthy growth of the next generation and help them harvest abundant spiritual nourishment from reading.
