China News Service, Beijing, March 11th: Question: The two sessions answer hot cultural issues from multiple dimensions
Author Zhang Yangbin
Cultural issues continue to be hot topics at this year’s National Two Sessions.
How to improve the quality of cultural heritage protection?
How to make cultural products more economically beneficial?
How to bring Chinese stories to the world?
How to let more people enjoy high-quality cultural products?
Faced with new situations and new problems in the cultural field, the representatives and committee members solved the problems and gave answers from multiple dimensions.
The answer is "inheritance".
Inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture requires people to not only "pass it on", but also to "inherit" it.
Several representatives from the opera industry said that there are more and more young faces, both on stage and in the audience, and opera is being accepted and loved by more young people.
The representatives suggested that young literary and artistic workers should receive more attention and encouragement, and support funds could be set up to subsidize them.
Digital technology brings new life to cultural relics and adds new ideas for the sustainable use of cultural relics.
Wang Wanfu, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Conservation Research Department of the Dunhuang Academy, suggested strengthening the construction of digital standards for cultural relics and the sharing of digital resources for cultural relics, breaking down "data silos" and realizing resource sharing of publicly available data on cultural relics.
The answer is "national tide".
"Caoxian horse-faced skirts sold for 300 million yuan" "Orders for Zhejiang Yongquan's 'Cheongsam Town' are booming"... Behind the rise of "national trend" consumption is the people's recognition of excellent traditional culture.
As Ma Xiaolin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of Henan Museum, said, excellent traditional culture also has productivity attributes.
Culture is integrating into life in a new way, enriching the past and enriching the present.
When there are more young people in museums and around the Baizi Cabinet, this is a reflection of cultural confidence, and it is also a new economic growth point brought by new industries and new consumption.
"New every day, new every day, new every day." Only by constantly innovating ideas and developing products that are both aesthetic and practical can we ride the "national trend".

The answer is "going to sea".
From "Hurry Up" becoming a global hit to "Hot and Furious" becoming a hit all over the world, Chinese film and television has continued to "go global".
Many film and television industry representatives said that "going overseas" relies on pursuing the "greatest common denominator" that resonates globally while retaining the core of the story with Chinese characteristics inward.
Film and television are just a microcosm of cultural "going global". There are also a large number of music, drama, sculpture, painting and other literary and artistic masterpieces that are going abroad and going to the world.
Xu Hongfei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the Guangzhou Sculpture Academy, suggested that we should pay attention to analyzing the landing effects of literary and artistic works after they "go overseas", so that Chinese literary and artistic works can move from "going out" to "staying".

The answer is "benefit the people".
Some representative committee members found that cultural activity venues in some places are "well built" but "underused", and people's participation and satisfaction are not high.
This year’s government work report proposes innovative implementation of cultural projects to benefit the people and improving the level of free open services in public cultural venues.
Liao Changyong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, suggested that the school's high-quality public spaces should be included in the public cultural service system to release the cultural productivity of art colleges and universities.
Let more people fall in love with a city, and the topic of culture and tourism is a hot topic during the two sessions.
"Traffic" becomes "retention", "Internet celebrity" becomes "long-term popularity", and continuous improvement of infrastructure and public services is the key.
Recently, the "spring economy" has ushered in a consumption peak. As Dai Bin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the China Tourism Academy, said, the prosperity of the cultural tourism market has just begun.
"The spring breeze is like a distinguished guest, and prosperity will come as soon as it arrives." People expect that the insights generated by the discussions on cultural topics at the two sessions will be transformed into pragmatic measures to promote cultural prosperity, so that the millennium cultural heritage can be passed down from generation to generation, and more cultural resources can nourish and enrich the present. life.
