2025-09-19   

Based on profound insights into the Suzhou-Hangzhou development model, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the major topic of "human economics" during the 2023 National Two Sessions and pointed out during his inspection in Jiangsu in July 2023 that "Suzhou has done a job in combining tradition with modernity, not only inheriting historical and cultural heritage but also achieving high-tech innovation and high-quality development, representing the direction of future development. This important exposition profoundly elucidates the organic relationship between the two dimensions of "culture" and "technology" in high-quality development, not only revealing the deep between culture, technology, and high-quality development, deepening the humanistic logic of Chinese-style modernization, but also opening up a new perspective of looking at the integration culture and technology from the perspective of humanistic economics. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his important article "Accelerating the Construction of a Cultural Power" that we should "ore effective mechanisms for the integration of culture and technology." From the perspective of humanistic economics, promoting the integration of culture and technology is to give full play to the leading and role of technology in cultural development, insisting on people-oriented, culture as the soul, and economy as the body, building a new development paradigm of benign interaction between technology and and coordinated progress between economy and humanities, and ultimately achieving comprehensive social progress and the free development of human beings.

1. Adhere to people-oriented principle and promote the all-round development of people in the integration of culture and technology.
The fundamental goal of the integration of culture and technology is not to show off technology, but to expand people's cultural rights and improve the quality of spiritual life with the help of and technology, so that cultural development can truly benefit everyone. "The essence of 'cultural economy' lies in the integrated development of culture and economy, which ultimately highlights the ''." The fundamental position of people-oriented advocated by humanistic economics is concretely reflected in the field of integration of culture and technology, that is, to make science technology an effective tool to expand people's abilities, enrich people's spiritual world and realize people's cultural rights.
Science and technology empower cultural participation and promote the of cultural rights. The popularization of digital technology has greatly reduced the threshold of cultural creation and dissemination, so that the public has changed from passive cultural recipients to active cultural creators disseminators. This transformation reflects the concept of all-round development of human beings pursued by humanistic economics, that is, through technical means, everyone can participate in cultural creation and cultural achievements equally. Different cultural forms match the corresponding economic base and productivity level, and the cultivation of modern culture will in turn act on the development of economic base and productivity. practice, all parts of the country integrate cultural resources through digital platforms and promote the equalization of basic public cultural services, which shows the value pursuit of humanistic economics of "peopleoriented". 
Technological enhancement of cultural experiences improves the quality of spiritual and cultural life. Extensible reality technologies such as virtual reality and augmented have significantly enriched the forms of cultural experience, offering people unprecedented ways to participate in culture. From the perspective of humanistic economics, technology should become a bridge to expand human perception emotional connection, rather than a tool to replace real experiences. The integration of culture and technology should focus on people's emotional needs and aesthetic experiences, enhance the quality and accessibility of services through technological innovation, and enable people to have more sense of gain and happiness in their spiritual and cultural life. The common prosperity we advocate is the common prosperity of all the people and it is the prosperity of both the material and spiritual life of the people. This requires us to stand firm on the people's position, understand the people's wishes, the people's creation, and pool the people's wisdom. This reflects the concept of coordinated development between material and spiritual advocated by humanistic economics, and demonstrates the essence technology serving people.
To build an equitable digital environment and safeguard cultural rights for all groups. In promoting the integration of culture and technology, special attention needs to be paid the special needs of different groups. Through technological innovation and institutional safeguards, we ensure that the benefits of technological progress and cultural development truly benefit all people. By building an equitable environment, we not only achieve technological application but also demonstrate humanistic care. This resource allocation right is determined by the human-centered anthropological principle, not by the natural law orrational man" assumption advocated by Western economics. This is a natural premise for humanistic economics to emphasize human subjectivity and autonomy, and demonstrates the essential requirements of Chinese-styleization.
