意思
Books contain invaluable knowledge
文化背景
The proverb is often attributed to the collective wisdom of the people but was popularized by educators like Ybyrai Altynsarin, who opened the first secular schools for Kazakh children. Across Central Asia, the Arabic word 'qazyna' is used to denote not just money, but spiritual and intellectual heritage, reflecting the region's history as a hub of the Islamic Golden Age. In a nomadic society, books were rare and precious because they had to be transported by camel across vast distances. A book was often the most expensive item a family owned. Today, the proverb is used to promote the 'Trilingual Policy' (Kazakh, Russian, English), suggesting that books in all three languages are treasures.
