A new massive, modern library or bookstore seems to be popping up in China every month, especially in the southwestern province of Guizhou and its 4.5-million-inhabitant capital, Guiyang.

一个新的大规模、现代的图书馆或书店似乎在中国每个月都在涌现，尤其是在贵州西南部，其450万居民的首都贵阳。

More often than not, the company building the massive bookstores is Zhongshuge, and the design firm behind the unconventional store concepts is XL-muse, also known as X  Living.

更常见的是，建造大型书店的公司是中舒格，而非传统商店概念背后的设计公司是XL-Muse，也被称为X生活。

XL Muse Architectural Design (Shanghai) Co. Ltd is led by Li Xiang. Zhongshuge’s plan is to lure people away from their screens and from online shopping to amazing and inspiring bookstores and books.

XL缪斯建筑设计(上海)有限公司由李想领导。中书阁的计划是吸引人们远离他们的屏幕，远离网上购物，进入令人惊叹的、鼓舞人心的书店和书籍。

And, according to research, the Chinese book business – already huge at around $14 billion US – is growing steadily by about 10-13 per cent.

而且，根据研究，中国图书业务-规模已经高达140亿美元左右-正稳步增长约10%-13%。

The latest Zhongshuge-X Living bookstore entry is a spectacular 3400 square-metre (36,597 sq.ft) cave of wonders where books are in high, curved nooks and crannies.

最新的中书-X活书店入口是一个壮观的3400平方米(36，597平方英尺)奇观洞穴，书在高，弯曲的角落和裂缝。

In addition to nature, local minority cultures inspired some of the design elements. The sparse material palette leaves the key roles to books and their readers and nothing in the immediate scene reminds the customer about shopping. Yet, relaxing with books in a store such as this most likely is the reason for at least some of the growth in book business in China. Tuija Seipell.

除了自然，当地的少数民族文化也激发了一些设计元素。稀疏的材料调色板把关键的角色留给了书籍和他们的读者，而在眼前的场景中，没有任何东西能让顾客想起购物。然而，在这样一家书店里放松一下，至少也是中国图书业务增长的原因之一。托伊亚·塞佩尔。
