How to build urban culture?
Urban culture in the macro sense is the sum of material and spiritual wealth created by human beings in the course of social and historical practice in urban areas. City culture in the meso sense, refers to the city's social ideology, and with it the sum of the system and organization. Urban culture in the micro sense refers to the sum of the city's literature and art, radio and television, as well as a variety of social and mass recreational activities. In our opinion, the construction of urban culture includes the following aspects: First, to cultivate citizens with modern quality. This is the key to the construction of urban culture. Citizens are the main body of the city, the creator and embodiment of urban social civilization, and the carrier of urban culture. How the quality of the city citizens, directly determines the image of a city. Without modern quality citizens, who will plan the modernized city? Who will build it? Who will consolidate and develop? A city full of small farmer consciousness and marketplace habits, closed and conservative city, can not become a modern city. The general public only continue to enhance urban awareness, openness, legal awareness and modern living environment awareness, to promote a city to form a good social atmosphere and spirit, a strong sense of culture, a healthy mind and good behavior, the city can be modernized. The second is to build a city image culture with personality. City image culture mainly refers to the appearance of the city image, which includes the city's modern infrastructure and fashionable appearance. Such as, the city's spatial layout, building shape, style, color, and roads, squares, parks, sculpture, street lights, railings, and even street signs, advertising, etc., can not be messy, incomplete, one of a kind. We should pay attention to the overall harmony of the city and aesthetic interest, cultural personality and artistic sense. Image culture is like a person's face, is the material carrier of urban culture. Like Paris, London, Moscow, Frankfurt, Venice and some other famous cultural cities in the world, all of them have a unique image of urban culture. In the image of culture, iconic cultural and sports facilities are essential, often one or two iconic cultural facilities can enhance the cultural taste of the whole city. Such as Sydney, a famous sea opera house, it greatly improves its cultural status in the world. Third, fully explore the city's historical and cultural resources. Historical and cultural resources is an important manifestation of a city's cultural taste, is a vivid embodiment of the city's cultural personality, but also a city (especially Chinese cities) to become a cultural city of the most unique cultural advantages. Florence, Italy, the world's most famous cultural city, is the center of European Renaissance, which has produced a large number of world celebrities such as Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc., and it is a city that relies entirely on historical and cultural resources to become famous in the world. Another example is Pisa and Venice as well. In China, like Qufu, is also completely rely on historical and cultural resources and famous at home and abroad. Fourth, the formation of a number of famous institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutions or art groups. Education is the foundation of culture, science and technology are the essence of culture, and art groups are the crystallization of culture. All the countries in the world take these three as the key indexes to measure the cultural level of a city. In particular, some modernized countries developed by immigrants, such as the United States, Canada and Australia, pay more attention to education and science and technology. Like Boston in the United States, it is these three that make it a city of culture. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which have trained a number of presidents for the United States, as well as countless experts and scholars, many of whom have won the Nobel Prize. Boston's symphony orchestra, ballet not only in the United States, and even in the world are first-class. Fifth, there is a prosperous and developed cultural industry. The so-called cultural industry mainly includes cultural entertainment industry, film and video and audio-visual products industry, press and publishing industry, cultural tourism industry and some culture-related food, beauty, fashion, leisure, art industry and so on. As a "sunrise industry", cultural industry can strongly promote economic development and greatly improve the cultural taste of a city. Los Angeles, the famous city of culture in the United States, relies on "Disneyland" and "Hollywood City" to form an amazing film and audio-visual products industry and cultural tourism. Nowadays, many cities in France, Britain, Japan, Korea and other countries take cultural industry as an important pillar industry of national economy. Some big cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, have also included the cultural industry in the priority development of national economy. Sixth, the mass cultural activities are rich and colorful. The so-called mass culture refers to both the cultural forms of self-entertainment among urban citizens, such as community culture, campus culture, enterprise culture, etc., and also refers to some festivals and cultural activities. Mass culture is an important part of the city's culture, but also the construction of a cultural city is an important and indispensable content, especially the festival cultural activities, to improve the city's cultural taste, to raise the cultural awareness of the masses, has an immeasurable important role.
