Quanzhou has a developed private economy, known as "Brand Capital of China" and "Private Special Zone", and the number of national well-known trademarks ranks first among prefecture-level cities in China. Quanzhou is an important commercial port city along the southeast coast of China, and Quanzhou Port is an important port of over 100 million tons in China.
Quanzhou is a world multicultural exhibition center established by UNESCO, a museum of world religions, the East Asian cultural capital of China, and the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China.
Quanzhou is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese and China compatriots, and half of the Han compatriots in Taiwan Province Province are from Quanzhou. At the same time, Quanzhou is also the birthplace of Minnan culture, the core and rich area of Minnan cultural protection, with profound historical and cultural heritage and numerous places of interest, and has the reputation of "Zou Lu on the seashore" and "City of Light". Quanzhou is the starting point of China's Maritime Silk Road. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Quanzhou Port was praised as "the world's largest port" by Kyle Polo, a world-famous traveler in the Middle Ages, and was equally famous as Alexandria. 20 13 On August 26th, Quanzhou was awarded the first East Asian Cultural Capital of China by the Ministry of Culture, which was on par with Yokohama and Gwangju. This condition requires that the city has a long history and rich cultural heritage, and the city features and cultural heritage can reflect East Asian cultural traditions and have distinctive urban or local characteristics.
As the largest port in the ancient East and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou has had friendly exchanges with more than 100 countries and regions in the world, and is an important city for cultural exchanges between ancient China and East Asia. Around the 9th century AD, the trade relations between Quanzhou and Japan and ancient Korea (Korean dynasty) were already extraordinary, and a large number of goods imported from Korea and Japan entered China from Quanzhou. Historically, Quanzhou's cultural exchanges with Japan and ancient Korea were based on trade exchanges, and the preservation of rich trade historical materials confirmed Quanzhou's long-standing position as the exchange center of East Asian cultural circles. The historical exchanges between Quanzhou and ancient Korea have a long history, which led to cultural blending, and many things and place names named Silla and Korea appeared. The earliest cultural exchange between Quanzhou and Japan can be traced back to the Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty, when monks from Jian Zhen travelled to Japan. Among the fourteen disciples who followed the monk to the east at that time, the Tanjing monk came from Quanzhou. In Dazhai County, Japan, there is an official certificate of China in the Song Dynasty-notarization, which witnessed the trade history between Quanzhou businessman Li Chong and Japan in the first year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 102), and it is also the most complete trade certificate in the Song Dynasty that can be seen at present. During the Northern Song Dynasty, in the trade activities between China and the Koryo Dynasty, Quanzhou maritime merchants not only had the largest number, but also had the strongest commercial strength, which played an important role. "History of Song Dynasty" contains: There are more than 100 people in (Korea) city, and many Fujian people try their best to lure Lu or stay for life because of Jia Bo. In the Song Dynasty, King Koryo used Fu Xuan, a native of Quanzhou, to come to the spring for pleasure and others. In the long history of East Asian exchanges, Quanzhou and East Asian countries exchanged cultural needs and promoted national integration.
It is required that all kinds of cultural venues have perfect facilities and reasonable layout, and key venues reach the international leading level.
Quanzhou has many important municipal cultural facilities, such as China Fujian-Taiwan Border Museum, Quanzhou Art Museum, Quanzhou Library, Quanzhou maritime museum, Quanzhou Museum, Weisheng Wan Stamp Art Museum, Liyuan Classical Theater, Nanyin Art Park and Quanzhou Theater, with a total construction area of 1 16900 square meters. With the construction of new urban areas, Quanzhou plans to start the construction of cultural facilities such as Quanzhou Puppet Theatre, Quanzhou Song and Dance Theatre, Quanzhou Grand Theatre and new library. The new site of Quanzhou Puppet Theater will be put into use before the end of the year, and it will become the largest and highest standard puppet theater in China. The construction of cultural facilities in counties (cities, districts) in Quanzhou is relatively perfect, and new cultural facilities are planned and built simultaneously with the development and construction of new urban areas. For example, the construction of cultural facilities in Jinjiang, Shishi, Nan 'an, Quangang and Hui 'an is in the forefront in all counties of the country. Quanzhou public libraries 1 1, including 6 national first-class libraries; Cultural center (art museum) 1 1, 5 national first-class museums; There are more than 70 museums (memorial halls), including 2 national first-class museums. There are township (street) comprehensive cultural stations in the city 163, with a coverage rate of100%; Public electronic reading room township (street) coverage100%; There are 2349 cultural activity rooms at village (community) level, with a coverage rate of 100%. The city has 654.38+0.5 million square meters of village-level cultural squares, and 665.438+0 provincial-level cultural passion squares have been built. The city has built 2349 farmer's bookstores, taking the lead in achieving the goal of 100% administrative villages (communities) and the goal of "reaching every village". Local governments can provide financial guarantee, give financial support to local cultural development and foreign cultural exchanges, and carry out various cultural activities with their own funds.
Incorporating cultural undertakings into the long-term urban planning In order to improve the soft and hard conditions for the protection and inheritance of Minnan culture, Quanzhou has arranged special funds for the protection of intangible cultural heritage at the county level every year since 2004, and invested more than 300 million yuan at the municipal level to build China Fujian-Taiwan Border Museum, Quanzhou Museum, Liyuan Classical Theater, Quanzhou Nanyin Art Park and Quanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum. In 20 14, Quanzhou invested 10 million yuan to build the world Minnan cultural exhibition center, and successively invested more than 70 million yuan to maintain and improve the cultural relics of "Maritime Silk Road-Quanzhou Scenic Spots" declared as "World Heritage". In order to make cultural undertakings have long-term financial support, Quanzhou has established a mechanism for the sustained growth of cultural investment, which includes the proportion of fiscal cultural expenditure to fiscal expenditure, the number of literary and artistic masterpieces, and the per capita possession of public books as performance evaluation indicators as an important basis for measuring political achievements at all levels. Since 20 1 1, the city has invested a total of1500 million yuan in cultural and sports media, with an average annual growth rate of more than 25%, much higher than the growth rate of recurrent fiscal revenue. In the future, Quanzhou will incorporate the construction of public cultural service system into the overall planning of urban and rural construction to achieve the same planning, construction and development with the new district. By 20 15, Quanzhou plans to invest1200 million yuan to build a number of key cultural projects such as Quanzhou Library, Quanzhou Grand Theatre, Straits Cultural and Academic Exchange Center, Workers' Cultural Palace and Song and Dance Theatre in combination with the development of Quanzhou Bay, so as to enhance the cultural taste of the city. It means that the city has active cultural activities, strong atmosphere, diversified cultural products and services, and a good foundation for foreign cultural exchanges, especially with Japan and South Korea, and has formed a distinctive brand in successfully hosting large-scale cultural activities at home and abroad.
Foreign exchange is mainly in Minnan style. Quanzhou's cultural exchanges with foreign countries have distinctive cultural characteristics of southern Fujian, including puppet shows, Nanyin, Liyuan Opera, Quanzhou Lantern Festival, and historical relics of maritime traffic. Cultural groups were appointed by the cultural departments at higher levels to participate in high-standard cultural year activities such as China-Japan, China-France, China-US and China-Russia. Quanzhou has organized 130 cultural groups and 2 108 person-times to go to 33 countries and regions in six continents for cultural exchanges and cooperation. While "going out", Quanzhou also invited 128 cultural groups from Japan and South Korea to participate in activities such as Minnan Culture Festival and China Navigation Day. 1986, Quanzhou Puppet Troupe performed in Japan for the first time. Up to now, it has performed 2/kloc-0 performances in Japan and 7 performances in South Korea, and has established good cooperative relations with "Jiechengzuo" Puppet Troupe and Tokyo National Institute of Culture and Finance. Quanzhou Puppet Troupe was also invited to perform at the "Asian Puppet Drama Festival" held in Japan yesterday. The Japanese Zhujing Society, which studies Dong Xiao (known as "shakuhachi" in Japan), has established a good cooperative relationship with Quanzhou Nanyin Orchestra, and has been invited to perform in Quanzhou for six consecutive times. Quanzhou Overseas Traffic History Museum and its researchers are often invited to hold various exhibitions and attend various academic conferences overseas, and maintain good communication and cooperation relations with academic institutions and groups in Japan, South Korea and other countries. Quanzhou has rich experience in holding large-scale international cultural activities, and has successfully held four international cultural exchange activities, including Minnan Cultural Festival, 10 International Nanyin Concert, 1 China Navigation Day, the 7th Maritime Silk Road Cultural Festival, the 3rd International Puppet Festival and 1 International Children's Chorus Festival. This condition requires a relatively perfect network of public cultural facilities, the leading responsibility of the government, the innovation of the management system and operation mechanism, content and form, methods and means of public cultural services, respect and embodiment of the diverse cultural needs of citizens, high enthusiasm and ability of citizens to participate, smooth channels of participation, convenient ways of participation and good results.
Spare no effort to build a top-down cultural network. Quanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to the construction of public cultural service system and put it on the agenda. In 2009, they issued "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Public Cultural Service System" to promote the coordinated development of urban and rural and regional cultures and build a development pattern of public cultural services led by the government and encouraging social forces to actively participate. Quanzhou's public cultural service system has basically reached the standard of establishing a demonstration zone in the eastern part of the country. Cultural information resources sharing project is in the forefront of the country. All public libraries, cultural centers (stations), museums and township comprehensive cultural stations in the city are open free of charge. Public libraries are open for not less than 70 hours a week, cultural centers and museums are not less than 55 hours, and electronic reading rooms of public cultural facilities at all levels provide the public with not less than 94 hours of free Internet access services every week. Implement the cultural service project of "Thousand Stories, Hundred Stories", and send 1 10,000 dramas, 1000 literary training and counseling, 100 digital movies and 10 mobile books to the countryside every year. There were more than 20,000 mass cultural activities at all levels in the city throughout the year. At the same time, we will build a brand of mass cultural activities, and the activities such as Quanzhou Lantern Festival in the central city, Nanyin singing and playing competition for primary and middle school students, "Happy Quanzhou Talent Competition" and "Summer of Confucius Temple" are colorful. In the national competitions such as the "Stars Award", the highest award of the national mass culture government, our city won 32 medals, ranking first in the province. Widely mobilize social forces to participate. The city's social forces held more than 2,000 cultural activities such as market performances. There are nearly 700 amateur literary and art societies in the city, with more than 20,000 amateur literary and art backbones, including 233 Nanyin societies and 13 1 folk professional troupes, covering all ages. Protection and inheritance
It is required to incorporate the protection of intangible cultural heritage into the urban economic and social development plan, improve the protection system and mechanism, improve the protection and inheritance mechanism of representative inheritors, and build intangible cultural heritage exhibition and learning venues. Rescue protection, productive protection, holistic protection and digital protection have achieved fruitful results, with typical cases reflecting local characteristics. Local people have participated in the protection of intangible cultural heritage to a great extent.
Protect, cultivate and inherit, and establish a four-level intangible cultural heritage list system. There are 565 intangible cultural heritage projects at all levels in Quanzhou, including 3/kloc-0 at the national level, 76 at the provincial level, 34 at the municipal level and 324 at the county level. The national, provincial, municipal and county-level intangible cultural heritage list system has been basically established. Quanzhou now has three UNESCO intangible cultural heritage projects, namely, two representative lists of human intangible cultural heritage (Nanyin, the traditional architectural skills of China wood structure), 1 list of intangible cultural heritage in urgent need of protection (the production process of Fuchuan Watertight Box in China) and 1 list of outstanding practices of intangible cultural heritage (the successor training plan of Fujian puppet show led by Quanzhou puppet show), which is China. In order to protect the intangible cultural heritage, Quanzhou focuses on building landmark cultural facilities and building a four-level Minnan cultural protection network. By formulating the Interim Measures for the Administration of Identification of Representative Inheritors of Intangible Cultural Heritage Projects in Quanzhou, Quanzhou initiated the recommendation and identification of representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage projects earlier, giving them corresponding honors and status; By offering specialized courses in colleges and universities, we can cultivate comprehensive artistic talents and implement traditional culture into campus projects; Taking advantage of traditional folk culture festivals and various favorable opportunities, government departments organize various folk activities. In September 2007, Quanzhou established the leading group of Quanzhou Minnan Cultural and Ecological Protection Experimental Zone and Quanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Leading Group. On may 20 10, the construction plan of Quanzhou Minnan cultural and ecological protection zone was formulated and implemented to do a good job in protection and inheritance.
