From the two-story Russian-style villa in the past to the present-day nine-story mansion, from the manual retrieval system to electronic reading systems... the new building of the Firdousi Tajik National Library, built by a Chinese enterprise, was opened in Dushanbe in March 2012, bringing a revolutionary change to the cultural life of the local people. Later, the image of the library was featured on the back side of the 200 Somoni banknote released locally, marking the first time for a "Chinese-made" landmark to appear on the Tajik currency.

从过去两层的苏式小洋楼，到如今市中心九层的“庞然大物”；从手动查找书籍的检索系统，到如今的电子化阅读……由中国企业承建的塔吉克斯坦国家图书馆新馆，于2012年3月在杜尚别正式开馆，给当地民众的文化生活带来跨越式变化。在当地推出的200索莫尼纸币的背面，该图书馆赫然其上，这是“中国造”地标首次登上塔吉克斯坦纸币。
