Crystal Newspaper Editorial |" Ten characteristic cultural blocks "completed the award of cultural Shenzhen has a vast future

Recently, in front of Dawanshiju, the largest and best-preserved square Hakka walled house in the country, the Pingshan Qilin Dance Performance of the provincial intangible cultural heritage project kicked off with sonorous drums for the "Shenzhen Characteristic Cultural Block Awarding Ceremony and the Opening Ceremony of the Dawanshiju Characteristic Cultural Block". Up to now, Shenzhen's "Top Ten Characteristic Cultural Blocks" have all completed the awarding of licenses.

In 2018, in order to help build a global regional cultural center city and a modern civilization city that highlights the soft power of national culture, and enhance the cultural influence of the city, the municipal government officially issued the "Shenzhen Municipal Plan for Accelerating the Construction of Major Cultural and Sports Facilities" and launched the upgrading and transformation of ten characteristic cultural blocks. In February this year, there have been 7 blocks such as Nantou Ancient City and Dapeng City for the first time to be awarded, and this time there are 3 characteristic cultural blocks of Dawanshiju, Huaqiang North, China Electronics First Street, and Dalang Fashion Town at the same time, and the "Ten Characteristic Cultural Blocks" have become ten bright cultural business cards in Shenzhen, which is also a microcosm of Shenzhen's cultural construction.

Not long ago, the world-renowned consulting company AEA released the "2020 Global Cultural Facilities Construction Report". According to the report, a total of 104 large-scale cultural facilities were completed worldwide in 2020, and the report also announced the 13 new construction projects with the highest value in 2020, of which 7 are located in Shenzhen. The report also shows that even in the uncertain global tourism outlook, cities will still double their investment in cultural attractions, and the cultural industry is making a strong recovery.

According to a report released by UNESCO this year, the global cultural industry has reached 2.2 trillion US dollars, surpassing the global telecommunications industry. As early as 2003, Shenzhen established the strategic goal of establishing a cultural city, and in 2008, Shenzhen took the lead in promulgating the "Regulations on the Promotion of Cultural Industries"; at the end of 2015, Shenzhen formulated the "Shenzhen Cultural Innovation and Development 2020 (Implementation Plan)". At present, Shenzhen's cultural and creative industry accounts for more than 10% of GDP, and "cultural Shenzhen" is more worthy of the name.

A first-class city should have a first-class culture. Shenzhen is a relatively young city, but there are still many cultural resources and cultural elements that can be excavated, such as Dapeng Suo City and Dawanshiju in the "Ten Characteristic Cultural Blocks", which have a distinct Cultural Imprint of Shenzhen.

At the same time, culture is not static, just like the land under our feet, with the changes of the times and the development of mankind, it has bred a large number of things and a variety of things. Any prosperous city and region must be the most active and fierce collision area of mobile culture, Shenzhen is China's largest immigrant city, rich multicultural convergence and collision here, mobile culture for the formation and development of Shenzhen culture injected a strong momentum.

In addition, Shenzhen is also a city facing the sea and facing the world. In the face of the historical opportunity of "dual region" driving and "dual area" superposition, Shenzhen is more likely to give birth to a unique, open, new culture with Chinese characteristics and in line with the world.

As Wang Weizhong, deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, said: For more than 40 years, Shenzhen has cast the soul of urban civilization with the core socialist values, laid the foundation for the happiness of the people's livelihood by conforming to the new expectations of the people's spiritual and cultural life, and empowered high-quality development with the new model and new format of "culture +", and the cultural undertakings and cultural industries have achieved a historic leap from almost starting from scratch to fruitful results.

In the new historical period, Shenzhen is striving to become a wonderful sample of the prosperity of socialist culture.
