Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, remarkable progress has been made in the construction of China's public cultural service system, and a large number of distinctive and tasteful public cultural spaces have been created based on the characteristics of urban and rural areas, so as to continuously meet people's diverse, multi-level and multi-faceted spiritual and cultural needs.
How to promote the upgrading of public cultural spaces? How to break the time and space limitations of public cultural services? How to enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of cultural services? Recently, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in related fields put forward opinions and suggestions on "innovating and expanding urban and rural public cultural space", contributing wisdom to better serve and help the construction of a socialist cultural power.
Improve the system and promote the standardization and equalization of public cultural services.
In July 2023, the research team of the Culture, Culture, History and Learning Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) went to Sichuan to carry out democratic supervision research with the theme of "Innovating and Expanding Urban and Rural Public Cultural Space", and had in-depth exchanges with relevant departments, experts and scholars, and grassroots cadres and masses. "In some places, there are still problems in the process of innovating and expanding urban and rural public cultural space. For example, some public places and facilities are not fully utilized, and some venues and facilities lack unified standards and norms. Ouyang Jian, head of the research team and deputy director of the Culture, History and Learning Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said.
Ouyang Jian suggested that in addition to giving priority to ensuring the use of special businesses, the general public welfare places and facilities invested and built by the urban and rural grassroots finances should be open to the local people, and the implementation of joint construction, sharing, and sharing, so as to maximize the revitalization of the stock and improve the efficiency of the use of public resources. The planning of urban and rural development and construction should be adapted to local conditions and taken into account as a whole, so as to improve the compatibility and versatility of public welfare places and facilities; For some old and idle public places and facilities, they can be renovated and upgraded according to cultural functions, and they do not have to be newly built and configured to minimize waste.
Public cultural space is a place to inherit excellent culture, disseminate national culture, and display local culture, and culture is the basic attribute. Regarding the function of public cultural space, there are no specific laws and regulations, and the relevant standards are not standardized. Ge Huijun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and chairman of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that it is necessary to speed up the legislative research of relevant laws and regulations, improve the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Modern Public Cultural Service System" and the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the construction of a public cultural service system.
For a long time, museums, art galleries, exhibition halls and other public cultural spaces have played an important role in the study and work of the masses and their daily life, but there are still problems of non-standard construction and unprofessional operation, resulting in low efficiency of cultural services. The committee members expressed that it is necessary to provide strong guidance for all localities to improve the standardization and equalization of public cultural services through measures such as improving the management mechanism, standardizing service standards, and strengthening legal safeguards.
Taking libraries as an example, the current construction standards need to increase the category of super-large public libraries serving a population of more than 10 million, and scientifically set their construction area indicators, promote the construction of super-large urban public library projects, and provide higher quality public cultural space for the people. Song Qiu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said.
Focus on quality and improve the coverage and effectiveness of public cultural services.
The ancestral house was used to build a farming cultural center, relying on the farmer's bookstore to carry out reading activities, and the "Village Evening" ...... was held for 5 consecutive yearsMany people who have been to Dawan Village, Huashi Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province will be attracted by the cultural atmosphere of the village. "Judging from the practice of Dawan Village, I suggest that the training and guidance of rural literary and artistic workers should be strengthened through a variety of channels, and the support for rural cultural activities and literary and artistic workers should be further increased in terms of performance activities, first-class support, qualification rating, foreign exchanges, etc., so as to stimulate the endogenous power of rural public culture. Yu Jing, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the first secretary of the general party branch of Dawan Village, Huashi Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, said.
In recent years, there are still many villages that attach importance to cultural construction like Dawan Village, and how to optimize public cultural space and improve the quality of cultural services has become the focus of everyone's attention. In the view of Tian Qinxin, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the National Theatre of China, the national art troupe should take the initiative to create a cooperation mechanism with the local grassroots, innovate the content model, explore the form of expression, improve the working mechanism, improve the promotion method, make good use of local cultural resources and public cultural facilities, and create public cultural service projects with strong penetration, good interaction, mobility and replication. Tian Qinxin suggested that state-owned art troupes should be encouraged to provide high-quality cultural products with the help of digital information technology, and carry out multi-dimensional cultural services to benefit the people through the combination of online and offline.
Historical and cultural resources are one of the carriers of public cultural space. Zhang Guanghan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and deputy chief planner of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, found in the survey that the historical and cultural resources of some traditional villages need to be repaired urgently, the content of the exhibition is homogeneous, and there are some places where the depth of excavation of excellent history and culture is not enough.
It is suggested that historical districts should be included in the construction system of public cultural space, so as to promote the integrated development of public cultural space and local history and culture, and organically combine intangible cultural heritage with tangible cultural heritage. Zhang Guanghan said that to innovate and expand public cultural space, priority should be given to existing buildings with historical and cultural value, such as transforming old factories into performing arts centers, and using traditional village ancestral halls to build red party building points.
To expand urban and rural public cultural space and improve the quality of public cultural services, we should also pay attention to the cultural needs of different age groups. "In the content design of public cultural spaces, more consideration should be given to the content related to young people, so that every city and village can become a youth-friendly home, and can also better promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture to their side, and help young people develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and laborably. Feng Li, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the China Children's Art Theater, said.
Mobilize resources to promote the sustainable development of public cultural services.
As culture has gradually become the intrinsic and lasting driving force for the improvement of the level of modern urban governance, new public cultural spaces integrating reading, art, and cultural creativity, such as digital libraries and online art museums, have gradually entered everyone's field of vision. Some committee members believe that in the context of the new era, the creation of urban and rural public cultural space should be integrated with science and technology, tourism, cultural undertakings and industries, and a coordinated cultural development pattern should be established.
Sima Hong, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice mayor of Beijing, suggested that data development and sharing should be promoted, investment in the digitization of cultural resources should be increased, a unified digital resource management platform should be built, and the collection, processing, mining and service of public cultural data should be included in the regular work, so as to provide support for the data transformation and sharing of resources; Use digital IP to expand new business formats, new services, and new products in the cultural space, promote the formulation of standards for the confirmation and authorization of digital copyrights, and encourage the use of joint creation, institutional sponsorship, social crowdfunding, and other methods to expand channels for social forces to participate, and build intelligent and immersive experiences.
It is necessary to further stimulate the enthusiasm of social forces to participate, enhance the sense of responsibility, improve standardization, properly handle the relationship between public welfare undertakings and commercial interests, and ensure the sustainable development of public cultural space. Shu Yong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice president of the Enlightened Painting Institute of the Democratic Progressive Association, suggested that private art museums can be included in the management system of art museums, relax the registration of rural cultural social organizations, explore the establishment of a good funding system to supplement the needs of operation, standardize the charging items in public cultural spaces, and strengthen the supervision and evaluation of social forces participating in the construction of public cultural services.
To achieve the high-quality development of public cultural services, talent team is the key. Song Qiu combined with the local practice cases in Sichuan said that talents should first be "introduced", in addition to regular recruitment, through the employment of public welfare positions, the mobilization of retired literature and art lovers, the recruitment of volunteers, etc., to solve the problem of shortage of urban and rural public cultural service personnel, through professional title evaluation and other ways to let these talents "use" and "stay".
