W: Today, we are honored to have Professor Huang here. As we know, AI is changing
everything. How do you see its role in our daily lives in five years
M: Thank you. AI is becoming the foundation of the digital world. In the future, it won't just
be an app. It will be a partner. Imagine doctors using AI to analyze medical images in
seconds, or cities using AI to manage traffic in real time. It will be everywhere, and it will be
invisible working quietly to improve efficiency.
W: That sounds transformative. Many young people are excited about AI but find it complex.
What's your advice for them
M: Well, start with curiosity. You don't have to be an expert right away. Play with AI tools
online, try writing simple codes or join open-source projects. The key is to try your hands at
it. The field is growing so fast and there's roo m for everyone.
W: Thank you for sharing, Professor Huang.
M: My pleasure.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the National Library of China. Before you is a set of newly
reproduced edition of the Yongle Dadian. But they are not simple copies. They are produced
using modern, handmade Xuan paper and high-quality color printing, which carefully
preserves the size, weight, and handwritten notes of the original volumes. As you turn the
pages, you are not just reading history. You're witnessing the act of preservation itself.
More than 600 years ago, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty ordered the creation of the
Yongle Dadian. His goal was ambitious to collect all known knowledge of China at the time
into one great work. The Yongle Dadian brought together over 7,000 ancient classics covering
history, philosophy, and so on. From the pre-Qin period to the early Ming Dynasty to help
visitors understand its scale, scholars often compare the Yongle Dadian to a library of
knowledge, carefully written by hand and bound into 1,000s of volumes. Now, let's take a
closer look.
