The editorial | high-quality cultural supply to promote mutual recognition between the city and the people

"My happiness in Shenzhen depends heavily on the cultural supplies of governments at all levels in Shenzhen."

The public name "Shenzhen Release" yesterday pushed a report on Shenzhen's ability to increase the supply of high-quality culture, which is a fan's message. It should represent the voice of many Shenzhen people.

Say something recent.

During the New Year's Day, the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra and the Central Opera House Symphony Orchestra held New Year concerts one after another; the Shenzhen Library distributed the "Spring League Blind Box" to readers; the Shenzhen Museum's "Exchange and Mutual Learning - Silk Road Art in the Dunhuang Grottoes and hexi Corridor" exhibition spanned the two festivals of New Year's Day and Spring Festival... In 2022, you have already felt the continuous supply of high culture.

Looking back at the recent year of 2021, the supply of high-quality culture has precipitated into our high-quality cultural memory.

This year, Shenzhen's promotion of the construction of the "City of Libraries" was selected into the National Development and Reform Commission's "List of Innovative Measures and Experiences and Practices of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone", and most of the more than 1,000 libraries scattered around joined the unified platform of the "City of Libraries", where readers can enjoy undifferentiated services.

You may also think of that round of "Bay Area Rising Moon". In 2021, the Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Gala in the Greater Bay Area successfully "broke the circle", with a total of 434 million live broadcasts and 7.5 billion Weibo-related topics read, forming a phenomenon-level communication.

This year, the first batch of "Ten Characteristic Cultural Blocks" passed the acceptance and awarding of licenses. Many neighborhoods carry the history and culture of Shenzhen, and the principle of "repairing the old as old" and the protection and revitalization of history make such neighborhoods an entrance for people to find their roots in Shenzhen and understand the history of the city.

In fact, over the years, Shenzhen has been improving its ability to supply high-quality culture.

Note the "high quality" prefix here.

Yes, in such an era of information excess, there is often a low-end supply surplus of culture. What people lack is not cultural supply, but high-quality cultural supply.

In June last year, an Internet industry insider invented the "pig food theory", which caused controversy on the Internet. He said that some low-intelligence brainwashing short videos are like pig food, which has long affected the minds of users, "This kind of anti-intellectual and vulgar entertainment consumer goods have pulled down the aesthetic level of a generation." ”

There is, of course, a matter of opinion as to such an assertion, but it does have something to ponder: time is there, and if it cannot be occupied by high-quality cultural supplies, it will be occupied by inferior cultural products.

Therefore, for Shenzhen, how to further enhance the innovation-driven ability in the cultural field and continue to increase the supply of high-quality cultural products is a topic worth pondering.

For example, how to better retain the memory and nostalgia of the city?

Shenzhen actively participates in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area cultural heritage trail system, promotes the Guanlan Ancient Ruins Commercial Port Trail to be selected as the second batch of Guangdong Province Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cultural Heritage Trail, the Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, the Chinese Cultural Celebrity Rescue Memorial Hall, the former site of the Dongbao Administrative Supervision Office are included in the second batch of Guangdong Province Historical and Cultural Trails, and the Shangchuan Huang Liansheng Lion Dance Project is selected into the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects list... Through such a historical dimension, people will see a thicker and more three-dimensional Shenzhen.

For another example, Shenzhen is a city with a majority of young people, how to explore the "new" scenery of culture, how to make the vibrant tide culture and young people to achieve linkage, and thus strengthen the city's youth, cutting-edge, pioneering temperament, is also worth exploring.

If someone asks, how can we improve the cultural literacy and character of the citizens as a whole? The answer must be high-quality cultural offerings. The mutual recognition and mutual achievement of the city and the people are also born from this.
