Stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation
The Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization puts forward the proposition of "stimulating the vitality of cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation" and requires "promoting theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and other innovations from a new starting point". Cultural innovation is an inherent requirement for promoting cultural construction in the new era and is the premise and foundation for achieving various other innovations. Cultural innovation contains rich contemporary content. To promote Chinese-style modernization, stimulating the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation is the key.
The so-called cultural innovation and creative vitality refers to the innovative and creative kinetic energy formed under certain social and historical conditions, including innovative concepts, incentive mechanisms, and innovative material and cultural environments. It is the appearance of "cultural consciousness" and the basis for forming an open innovation ecosystem to the world. In the era of globalized knowledge economy, "innovation" is increasingly global. A new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and innovation has become a global mainstream. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized "improving the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system" and "forming an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness", which fully reflects my country's orientation and determination to deeply integrate into the global innovation system. The open innovation ecosystem is not only a basic way to promote scientific and technological progress, promote economic prosperity and the development and progress of civilization, but also provides important opportunities and means for effectively integrating global resources and achieving mutual benefit, win-win results and mutual learning among civilizations.
The formation of large-scale urban communities has brought about tremendous changes in social lifestyles. Cities have become the center of human innovation, and urban cultural innovation determines the breadth and depth of other innovations. In order to stimulate the vitality of cultural innovation and creation of the entire nation, in addition to stimulating the innovation and creation of various entities, it is essentially necessary to strengthen the coordination of innovation resources, build an incentive innovation and creation value system, and form an open innovation ecosystem facing the world. This is also an important way to actively participate in the reform of the global economic governance system and provide more global public products.
Institutions are the soul of a social structure. The quality, intensity and scale of cultural institutional innovation determine the quality of the nation's cultural innovation and creation. The task of institutional innovation in the cultural field is to increase institutional supply based on actual development needs, introduce regulations that can solve new contradictions and problems in the field of cultural development, and reflect the inherent requirements of cultural progress through a series of regulatory systems, so as to provide strong momentum for stimulating the vitality of cultural innovation and creation of the nation and promoting cultural progress.
In accordance with the requirements of the "Decision" to "build a system and mechanism to support comprehensive innovation" and "deepen the reform of cultural systems and mechanisms", we should deepen cultural institutional innovation around the actual needs of stimulating the cultural innovation and creativity of the entire nation and cultural construction; first, the institutional innovation system in the field of cultural governance, the core of which is to maximize the space for cultural creation and maximize the "gravity" of innovation; second, the institutional innovation system in the field of cultural technology, the core of which is to maximize the integration of culture and technology, and culture and digitalization; third, the institutional innovation system in the field of cultural market, the core of which is to optimize the efficiency of cultural market and resource allocation and maximize benefits.
The production and innovation of cultural institutions not only involve the problem of "supply-demand" correspondence, but also the problem of institutional efficiency. Institutional efficiency depends not only on the quality of the cultural institutions themselves, but also on social environmental factors including the execution of cultural institutions and the social adaptability of cultural institutions. Therefore, cultural institutional innovation is a linkage system with rich content. Only by continuously optimizing the institutional mechanisms in the cultural field can we achieve the output effect of innovation and form a new ecology of open innovation.
The cultural vitality index comprehensively reflects the potential and vitality of a place's cultural development, and reflects the cultural innovation ecology, cultural innovation methods and cultural innovation results. It is a "barometer" of cultural soft power. It includes cultural heritage foundation, cultural innovation environment, innovation human capital, cultural participation, innovation driving force, innovative products and innovation benefits. Both cultural endowment and cultural tolerance have an impact on cultural vitality. It is generally believed that compared with innate cultural endowment, acquired openness and tolerance have a greater impact on cultural vitality.
To improve the city's cultural vitality index and promote cultural innovation, it is necessary to highlight the city's cultural quality and cultural personality. "Cultural characteristics" are the smallest unit of culture and the key element of cultural personality. Cities that lack cultural characteristics and are "all the same" cannot be said to have real cultural innovation. In essence, cultural personality is honed over the years and is the result of the fusion and coupling of various social and historical elements. An important rule of cultural innovation is how to highlight the city's cultural quality and highlight its own cultural brand and cultural personality.
To optimize cultural forms and highlight cultural individuality, we need to refresh the transformation from concepts, forms, policies to urban cultural order, promote the transformation of social development from scale-driven to quality-driven, and focus on the development of "inner-oriented" vitality and the diversity of development structures. We need to promote major cultural innovations and reforms in operation and management methods, build a platform system for major cultural strategic innovations, explore the establishment of low-input, high-output, low-energy consumption, recyclable cultural governance methods and green and low-carbon development mechanisms, and make good use of "cultural means" to improve the level of public governance.
Realize the integration and innovation of Shanghai culture, Jiangnan culture and red culture
"Shanghai culture" is the essence of Shanghai's urban culture, integrating the historical evolution, urban character and spiritual outlook since the opening of the port in 1843. Its main characteristics are openness and tolerance. "Jiangnan culture" is a regional culture. "Jiangnan" is both a natural geography and a social geography. Its main cultural characteristics are the southern culture represented by "Chu Ci" and other forms of regional culture, which complement each other. "Red culture" is a revolutionary culture, a spiritual system and urban revolutionary tradition composed of the main line of the historical activities of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and an important carrier of modern "urban memory". As a living "geometric pattern", cultural forms should fully demonstrate their own identity and constantly innovate in the deep integration of Shanghai culture, Jiangnan culture and red culture. Among them, "red culture" should pay special attention to strengthening ideals and beliefs, "Jiangnan culture" should pay attention to inheriting historical roots, and "Shanghai culture" should focus on stimulating cultural innovation and creativity at the level of highlighting the city's character, and achieve mutual benefit in the linkage effect of urban cultural character, regional cultural characteristics and urban cultural traditions.
