Why is the new space of public culture favored

2025-08-19   

Wenjiang District in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, relies on the 24-hour "Liudeng Bookstore" to establish the "Liudian Art Night School", while Qianjiang, Hubei Province, has launched the "Bo Dong Qianjiang Cultural Station", which integrates live training and practice, community reading, cultural and creative product display, and other functions. Beijing's "Meihou Four Seasons" courtyard holds more than 600 cultural activities annually. Currently, public cultural new spaces scattered throughout every corner of the city make the cultural life at the doorstep more enjoyable. Since the 14th Five Year Plan, China has vigorously promoted the construction of a public cultural service system. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, there are over 40000 new public cultural spaces of various types in China. Strolling through shopping malls, you can also listen to concerts, watch intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, have dinner with friends, and enjoy traditional folk cultural performances. If you can't sleep at night, you can also go to the 24-hour library at your doorstep. There is no need to go far or go to great lengths. More and more public cultural spaces are embedded in bookstores, cafes, urban parks, and commercial districts, making high-quality cultural life within reach. Urban life also has cultural depth, warmth, and happiness. In addition to the advantages of convenience and speed, diverse services and innovative forms are also the main reasons why public cultural new spaces are highly favored. The library is a cultural landmark and spiritual totem of a city, and many people's impression of it still remains limited to a single dimension of borrowing books and quiet reading. Currently, in many places, only borrowing books and reading books has become an old tradition. Libraries are transforming and upgrading into new public cultural spaces with their beautiful and comfortable environment and diverse open functions, becoming warm and attractive cultural and social centers. In these libraries, visitors can visit calligraphy exhibitions, painting exhibitions, photography exhibitions, watch movies, and attend lectures. The reader restaurants can also provide affordable meals, and the diverse public cultural services make many readers linger and stay in the library for a whole day. Some libraries also use digital art and other forms to provide readers with multidimensional immersive experiences, making reading a fun and enjoyable experience. From "readers of the library" to "readers' library", the new public cultural space represented by modern urban libraries focuses on people's cultural needs and experiences, putting the people-centered development concept into practice. The recently held Central City Work Conference proposed to strengthen the construction of urban cultural soft power and improve the civilized quality of citizens. In recent years, museums across the country have continued to become popular tourist destinations, reflecting the increasingly strong spiritual and cultural needs of the people. Urban space is not just a physical space, but also a spiritual space that carries value and meaning, and provides people with aesthetic enjoyment. Currently, public cultural new spaces scattered throughout every corner of the city, with their "small and exquisite" features, have added more poetic and picturesque elements to urban life. As more and more "sleeping" spaces are awakened and carefully transformed into convenient and leisure entertainment spaces, the happiness and convenience at the doorstep will also make residents feel that the city is becoming more beautiful and their lives are getting better. The public cultural new spaces scattered throughout the streets and alleys of the city have cultivated new cultural soil and stimulated new cultural momentum. People appreciate traditional Chinese opera at cultural stations and study and experience it at intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls, which is also the inheritance of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The integration of public cultural new spaces into people's daily lives has made urban life increasingly settle into beautiful historical and cultural memories, and cities have therefore become people's spiritual homes.
