Lingnan Culture·Current Situation and Prospects of Lingnan Culture·Exploring Special Economic Zone Culture (1) Special Economic Zone and Special Economic Zone Culture The current Lingnan Special Economic Zone includes the Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou Special Economic Zones established in the early 1980s, as well as the special economic zones established in 1988

The Hainan Special Economic Zone Province was delimited from Guangdong Province.

Let’s look at the role and significance of the first two special economic zones, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, which were originally established as a testing ground for the reform of my country’s economic system and political system and as a “window” with multiple levels and functions internally and externally in the process of reform and opening up. .

In actual operation, the special zone is named "economic", which is naturally to adapt to the general decision of putting the economy first in the reform and opening up.

Therefore, the main task of special economic zones is to develop an export-oriented economy and become a frontier for attracting foreign investment, modern technology, and modern business and management knowledge and experience.

The central point of the "specialness" of a special economic zone is to transform a small piece of land that is in an extremely advantageous position to communicate with the world. Through a series of economic, political and other institutional reforms, it can transform from a traditional management model to a unique one that operates in accordance with international practices.

social system.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, Guangdong achieved unprecedented success through the practice and verification of the three special economic zones of Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou.

A dynamic economic policy and corresponding flexible political system reform not only turned the originally backward and poor agricultural county into a modern "overnight city", but its benefits and experience were quickly extended to the Pearl River Delta and extended to the Pearl River Delta.

Spread in the hinterland.

Now across the province, Shenzhen and Zhuhai are used as reference to accelerate economic development; some of these effective and successful experiences have been adopted by many coastal open cities across the country and have a chain effect in the corresponding regions.

So, will special zone culture be produced in special economic zones? The answer is yes.

A simple but thought-provoking example is: the word "Zhen" in Shenzhen was still unfamiliar to most people a few years ago, and many people misunderstood it as "Chuan", but now it has become a household name.

common words.

However, the time-honored brand "Fu (sound Fu) Ling mustard" that has been around for many years is still often misunderstood as "Peling mustard".

The secret is that the spread of culture is often achieved through economic means.

The modern commodity economy is an important achievement of human civilization formed by a high degree of cultural cohesion, and is therefore also an expression of high-level culture.

The modern commodity economy not only requires strength and experience, but also requires the combined effect of many factors such as higher intelligence and cultural quality.

In the modern commodity economy, the "market" is certainly an active mechanism, but "culture", that is, people's cultural character and cultural quality, is also an indispensable and active mechanism.

"Market" and "culture" complement each other, and both promote and restrict the ups and downs of the economy.

It can be said that without advanced culture, there would be no developed modern commodity economy.

The economy of the special zone is rapidly transforming from a single planned economy to a diversified modern market economy, which requires a special zone culture that adapts to the economic development of the special zone.

Building and developing special zone culture is a new historical task for the current Lingnan cultural construction.

Studying the phenomenon, current situation, characteristics, and development direction of special zone culture has become a new and complex topic for cultural workers in Lingnan and even across the country, but it also has far-reaching strategic significance.

(2) Looking at the formation and characteristics of special zone culture from Shenzhen. Before the establishment of the special zone in Hainan Province, the Shenzhen Special Zone had the largest area, achievements and achievements among the four special zones in the country (in addition to the three in Guangdong and the Xiamen Special Economic Zone in Fujian Province).

Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has the greatest influence as a sub-provincial city, so Shenzhen Special Economic Zone culture can be used as a representative of special zone culture.

Since 1986, Shenzhen has set off an enthusiastic cultural wave, and the heat is constantly rising, and the impact of the wave is also increasing.

This is not an accident, but happened at the right time.

Although this cultural craze has many similarities with the cultural craze across the country in recent years, it has a distinct SAR style; even compared with Guangdong culture, there are many differences.

With the approval of the central government, a special economic zone was established in Bao'an County, which borders Hong Kong (now Hong Kong's main island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, before the Opium War, all belonged to Xin'an County, Guangdong Province, and changed to Bao'an County after the Revolution of 1911) in 1980.

In May of that year, it was only fourteen months away from March 1979 when Baoan County was established as a city.

As a special economic zone, it is a narrow strip connected to the New Territories of Hong Kong and the mountains and sea of ??Kowloon, with a total area of ??327.5 square kilometers. It was the largest in area and scale among the three special zones in Guangdong at that time. However, both natural resources and human resources were extremely

Poor.

In terms of cultural type, it is basically a traditional agricultural culture with a strong focus on fishing and natural economy; the city's population of 2020 square kilometers is only more than 200,000, and most of them are old, weak, women and children, about 60 to 70%

Young adults are all in Hong Kong and overseas; the SAR population is only 23,000.

In terms of population structure, 90% are farmers and fishermen, and their cultural quality is low.

From a spiritual and cultural perspective, cultural facilities are backward.
