After more than 30 years of development, Shenzhen has developed into a modern city full of vigor and vitality. Compared with other cultures in Guangdong, the culture of this city has its own uniqueness, mainly in the following aspects:
Window function. This is mainly due to its special geographical location. Shenzhen and Hong Kong have the geographical advantage of land and water intersection. This unique geographical location makes Shenzhen a bridge and link between Hong Kong and overseas, and also a meeting point of Chinese and foreign economy, politics and culture. In addition, the housing prices and prices in Shenzhen are superior to those in Hong Kong, so many Hong Kong people buy houses and invest in factories in Luohu, Futian and even Baoan and Longgang in Shenzhen. The mutual reports of the media in the two places have made this cultural window go from Hong Kong to the world, from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and mainland provinces, showing and receiving each other.
Demonstration function. If Shenzhen is designated as the experimental area of reform and opening up, it will have the meaning of "demonstration area". For example, China's first stock was issued in Baoan, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong TV programs not seen in the mainland can be watched on Shenzhen Cable TV. Through so many years of demonstration, Shenzhen's urban architecture, craft design, costume design and piano city have formed a cultural demonstration of "two cities and one capital" throughout the country, namely, "the city of library, the city of piano and the city of design."
Characteristics of immigrants. According to statistics, there are currently more than 4.8 million people living and working in Shenzhen, most of whom are new immigrants who came to Shenzhen after the establishment of the 1980 Special Economic Zone. There are immigrants from 56 nationalities in Shenzhen, including 3/kloc-0 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and immigrants from five continents. Jingyun Drum, Cantonese Opera, Wunong Soft Language, Xiangyin Sichuan Tune, Jiangnan Whispering, Northeast Loud Voice, English, French, German, Latin and other languages, customs and restaurants all over the country and around the world are presented here, which are varied and dazzling. East and west, north and south, five continents and four seas, all have cultural concepts, customs and habits, and atmosphere.
Characteristics of youth. First, the youth of urban architecture, brand-new roads, tall and straight buildings and curved bridges; The majestic Empire State Building, the International Trade Building witnessing the development of Shenzhen, the colorful sports center and the colorful Shennan Avenue; The second is the revival of Shenzhen people, the main body of the city. According to statistics, the average age of Shenzhen's current population is 27.3 years old, and the average age of nearly 1 1 10,000 migrant young workers is only 2 1.4 years old. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, there are a large number of high-tech talents such as masters, doctors and postdocs, accounting for about 9.6% of the national total.
Modern characteristics. Since 2004, Baoan and Longgang in Shenzhen have abolished the township organizational system and changed to sub-district offices to complete the handover. The rural urbanization in Shenzhen has come to an end, and the integration of the inside and outside of the Special Zone began on July 10, which brought new opportunities to the development of Shenzhen.
Thoughts on Innovating Shenzhen's Characteristic Culture
How to innovate the characteristic culture of Shenzhen? Huang Yongzhen expounded his suggestions and ideas. He said, the first step, according to the demonstration characteristics and window characteristics of Shenzhen, focus on creating fine literary works. The prosperity of cultural and creative industries is inseparable from cultural and artistic products. The forms of culture and art include novels, poems, essays, drama, music, dance, film and television, animation, art and sculpture. Literary originality, especially at the upper end of the cultural industry chain, is the basic condition for many cultural industries to achieve reproduction. Shenzhen's youth characteristics and demonstration characteristics are determined by its specific geographical location and specific historical background, and it is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up. Therefore, it is the unshirkable obligation of literary artists to record the events and figures in this glorious course and the great changes in this great history in the form of literature and art. Only a double harvest of material and culture is a model of a modern city.
The second step is to build a cultural industry in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, in which culture in the cultural industry refers to a big cultural concept, including creativity and design of intangible cultural heritage in addition to various categories of literature and art, because only with creativity and design can the value of products far exceed the added value of material parts. Only with endless creativity can we maximize social benefits, economic benefits and the development of "cultural economy" and realize real sustainable development.
The third step is to focus on the development and innovation of cultural software. In the competition between countries, cultures and cultures, besides the competition of hardware, the key is the competition and application of software. Looking at the development of world civilization, it is relatively easy for industry and economy to learn from advanced countries and developed countries, but it is more difficult to develop and change software in cultural construction. In the development of cultural software, only by taking out a set of "Shenzhen characteristics" which are universal and attractive in terms of organization, life, policy, cultural sharing and interaction, and grasping and creating characteristics, can we effectively promote the formation of a good situation of Shenzhen's cultural development and prosperity.
