Shanghai-style culture is a unique cultural phenomenon in Shanghai, which is gradually formed on the basis of China Jiangnan traditional culture (Wuyue culture), and has had a far-reaching impact on Shanghai since its opening, and originated from modern industrial civilization in Europe and America.

Shanghai culture has both the classical elegance of Jiangnan culture (Wuyue culture) and the modern fashion of international metropolis. Different from other cultures in China, it has an open and unique style.

Shanghai-style culture, rooted in China's traditional culture, combines the essence of other regional cultures in China, such as Wuyue culture, absorbs and digests some foreign cultural factors, mainly western ones, and creates a new Shanghai-style culture with its own unique personality. Its characteristics are: eclectic, good at sublating, pursuing Excellence and being brave in innovation. The basic characteristics of Shanghai culture are openness, creativity, sublation and pluralism.

make public

Shanghai-style culture, with the surname of the sea, is characterized by a wide range of rivers, blending Chinese and western cultures, using it for our own use, turning decay into magic, and creating atmosphere first. It is also manifested in not closing the door, not standing still, not refusing to be advanced, not refusing to be fashionable.

creativity

Absorption does not mean copying, nor repeating and imitating others, but full of innovative spirit and creativity. At that time, Shanghai Peking Opera created a series of plays, and the institutional setup was innovative. Today, Cao Cao and Yang Xiu are also innovative, and Jinmao Tower is an innovation of architectural culture.

eliminate

All rivers run into the sea, and it is inevitable that mud and sand will flow down, especially during the passive opening period, the concession period, the initial period of active opening, and the situation that everything is in ruins. It is understandable that some people are hungry and refuse to come. We pointed out in time that it is especially necessary to distinguish clearly and treat them differently selectively, and avoid blindness and blind obedience.

variety

Shanghai culture, like other things, is a complex unity, and it should not be required to be pure, so a single Shanghai culture cannot be realized. Elegant and vulgar, foreign and local, Chun Xue and chin beauty, such advanced and backward, even low-level, vulgar, yellow and reactionary cultures may be mixed in the middle, so it is particularly necessary to treat them differently.
