Lin Huajing, secretary of Yangjiang Municipal Party Committee, and Lin, mayor, who have been planning these large-scale activities, told the author that in response to the strategy of building a cultural province put forward by the provincial party committee and government, Yangjiang put forward the goal of building a city with strong culture at the end of last year. At present, relying on a series of local cultural resources, we are trying to polish and launch Yangjiang's cultural brand and build a new Yangjiang that can be called a "cultural city". Spare no effort to explore cultural heritage.
1 1 At the end of last year, the Yangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Famous Cultural City, and decided to accelerate the construction of a famous cultural city while promoting the construction of a famous industrial town, an ecological green city and a new tourist city. A few days ago, a person in charge of Yangjiang's cultural department told the author that Yangjiang's construction of a famous cultural city has a profound cultural background. A "list"-yangchun city Dushizi ancient human cave site proves that Yangjiang has a history of human habitation of 16600 years.
Since BC 1 1 1, Yangjiang has become a transit station on the Maritime Silk Road. In recent years, the archaeological excavation of the ancient shipwreck "Nanhai 1" in Yangjiang waters further proved the prosperity of Yangjiang's maritime trade during the Tang and Song Dynasties. /kloc-Gaoliang County more than 0/500 years ago, including Yangjiang today, was the stage for Mrs. Xian's rule and activities. At that time, Yangjiang kites had been heavily infused with advanced kites from China Nanpai, the representative of Central Plains culture, with a history of 1440 years. The ninth day of each year is the Kite Festival, which began in the Shiwan Ceramic Kiln in Yangjiang in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Known as the ancestor of Guang Kiln. Today, the predecessor of Foshan Shiwan Kiln is modern. Yangjiang's landscape has cultivated a master of Chinese painting, an oil painter Su Tianci and a Jiangnan poet Ruan. There are also unique dragon boat culture, lacquer ware culture, root carving and elegant stone culture, knife and scissors culture, poetry culture and so on, which can be described as dazzling.
Cultural experts believe that Yangjiang culture is rich in the charm of marine culture and is a highlight of Guangdong's marine culture. In terms of time coordinates, Yangjiang's historical and cultural resources, like Huizhou and Zhaoqing, were the most prominent in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, in the process of building a famous cultural city, Yangjiang focuses on two aspects: building modern culture and focusing on marine culture.
In the aspect of excavating history and culture, the emphasis is on the culture of Song Dynasty. In fact, these two aspects are inseparable. For example, Nanhai No.1, as a sunken ship in the Song Dynasty, is a reflection of Yangjiang's marine culture, and it also strongly shows the weight of Song Wenhua in Yangjiang's history and culture. In the cultural construction of Yangjiang, these two resources and characteristics will be well balanced and integrated. Polishing cultural brands and building a famous cultural city
In order to promote the construction of a famous cultural city, Yangjiang City is implementing six strategies: system innovation, cultural upgrading, scientific and technological upgrading, leading and driving, brand upgrading and talent development. Specifically, it is to break the boundaries between regions, departments and industries, optimize the allocation of cultural resources, and vigorously develop cultural industries with Yangjiang characteristics. Take Nanhai Fishing Festival, Tourism and Culture Festival, International Knife and Scissors Expo, Kite Competition and other major activities and the construction of Nanhai 1 related cultural projects as the leading factor, promote the all-round prosperity of cultural undertakings, create cultural products with Lingnan style and Yangjiang style, and focus on the development of kite culture, knife culture, poetry culture, lacquer art culture and dragon boat.
The leading group of the Party and government in Yangjiang firmly established the idea that grasping cultural construction is also the top priority of economic construction and development, and laid down rules in relevant implementation opinions: the top leaders of the Party and government should personally grasp the construction of a famous cultural city and set up a leading group for the reform of the cultural system and the construction of a famous cultural city in the city.
In recent years, Yangjiang City has made many attempts to promote the integration of culture and economy, and to make the cultural economy bigger and stronger, and achieved initial results. For example, give full play to Yangjiang knife and scissors culture, and strive to run a unique "knife fair" in China, so as to make it a national first-class exhibition brand with world influence, establish the central position of Yangjiang hardware and knife exhibition industry, and serve economic development. The knife and scissors enterprises, represented by Yangjiang Eighteen Sub-group, China Kitchen and Knife Center, spread knife culture in Yangjiang, incorporated China traditional culture and Yangjiang regional characteristic culture in their production, and launched cultural products such as "Zodiac" combined knife covers and Yangjiang tourist commemorative knives, which were deeply loved by consumers. The annual China Nanhai Fishing Festival, Yangjiang Tourism Culture Festival and other large-scale activities have promoted the development of Yangjiang culture and tourism economy. Yangjiang also strives to build a world-class cultural brand "Nanhai 1" to enhance Yangjiang's popularity and attract investment. In addition, organize the development of tourism commodities and souvenirs with Yangjiang characteristics, and strive to develop Yangjiang lacquerware, lacquer painting and kites and other special handicraft series to promote the development of tourism with characteristic culture.
Yangjiang City proposed that by 20 10, the comprehensive strength of Yangjiang culture will be significantly enhanced, the cultural industry will become a new local economic growth point, and Yangjiang cultural brand will enjoy a good reputation at home and abroad. Strive to achieve the goal of having libraries, museums, science and technology museums, mass art galleries, archives and gymnasiums in the whole city, libraries, cultural centers, archives and gymnasiums in the county, cultural stations and stadiums in the town in 20 10 or longer, build Yangjiang Song and Dance Theatre, and organize Yangjiang Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Kite Research Institute and Lacquer Painting Laboratory.
