Lingnan culture, the present situation and prospect of Lingnan culture, and the exploring special zone culture.

(1) Special Zone and Special Zone Culture

At present, Lingnan Special Economic Zones include Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou Special Economic Zones established in the early 1980s, and Hainan Special Economic Zone Province set aside from Guangdong Province by 1988. Judging from the role and significance of the earliest established special zones of Shenzhen and Zhuhai, it was originally used as a testing ground for China's economic and political system reform and a multi-level and multi-functional "window" for domestic and foreign countries in the reform and opening up. In practice, the word "economy" in the special zone is naturally used to adapt to the general decision of giving priority to the economy in the reform and opening up. Therefore, the main task of special economic zones is to develop export-oriented economy and become the frontier position to attract foreign investment, modern science and technology and modern management knowledge and experience. The "special" feature of special economic zones is that through a series of institutional reforms such as economy and politics, a small piece of land in a very favorable position to communicate with the world has been transformed into a unique social system that operates in accordance with international practices. At the beginning of reform and opening up, Guangdong achieved unprecedented success through the practice and verification of Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou Special Economic Zones. A dynamic economic policy and the corresponding flexible reform of the system not only turned backward and poor agricultural counties into modern "overnight cities", but also spread their benefits and experiences to the Pearl River Delta and the mainland. Now in the whole province, learn from Shenzhen and Zhuhai to accelerate economic development; Some of these successful experiences have been adopted by many coastal open cities in China, and have had a chain effect in the corresponding areas.

Then, will the special economic zones have special zone culture? The answer is yes. A simple but thought-provoking example is that the word "Shenzhen" in Shenzhen was unfamiliar to most people a few years ago, and many people misread it as "Sichuan", but now it has become a household name. However, the time-honored Fuling mustard tuber is still often misunderstood as Peiling mustard tuber. The secret is that the spread of culture is often achieved through economic means.

Modern commodity economy is an important achievement of human civilization condensed from high culture, so it is also the embodiment of high culture. Modern commodity economy needs not only strength and experience, but also higher intellectual and cultural quality. In modern commodity economy, "market" is an active mechanism, but "culture", that is, people's cultural character and quality, is also an indispensable active mechanism. "Market" and "culture" complement each other and jointly promote and restrict economic ups and downs. It can be said that without advanced culture, there would be no developed modern commodity economy. The economy of the special zone is rapidly changing 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 the culture of the special zone is a brand-new historical task of Lingnan culture construction at present. Studying the phenomenon, present situation, characteristics and development direction of SEZ culture has become a new and complex topic with far-reaching strategic significance for cultural workers in Lingnan and even the whole country.

(2) Looking at the formation and characteristics of special zone culture from Shenzhen.

Before the establishment of Hainan Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was the largest, most successful and most influential sub-provincial special economic zone among the four special economic zones in China (except for three in Guangdong and Xiamen Special Economic Zone in Fujian). Therefore, the culture of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone can be said to be the representative of the culture of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. Since 1986, there has been a warm cultural air billow in Shenzhen, with the increasing popularity and the increasing influence of air billow. This is not an accident, but it comes at the right time. Although this cultural heat wave has something in common with the national cultural fever in recent years, it has obvious special zone style; Even compared with Guangdong culture, there are many differences.

With the approval of the central government, a special economic zone was established in Baoan County (Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and New Territories, all of which belonged to Xin 'an County of Guangdong Province before the Opium War and changed to Baoan County after the Revolution of 1911) bordering Hong Kong. The time is May 1980, which is only 14 months from the establishment of Baoan County in March. As a special economic zone, it is a long and narrow strip connecting the New Territories of Hong Kong and the Kowloon Mountain Sea, with a total area of 327.5 square kilometers, which was the largest among the three special zones in Guangdong at that time. However, natural resources and human resources are extremely poor. In terms of cultural types, it is basically traditional agricultural culture, rich in fishery and natural economy; The population of 2020 square kilometers in the city is only over 200,000, most of whom are old, weak, women and children. About 60% to 70% of young people are in Hong Kong and overseas. The population of the special zone is only 23,000. Judging from the population structure, 90% are farmers and fishermen, and their cultural quality is low. From the perspective of spiritual culture, cultural facilities are backward. It turns out that there are only three staff members with college education in the cultural system of Baoan County. In the former Baoan County of Shenzhen, a special zone, there is only a cinema built in the 1940s, a theater built in the early 1960s, a Xinhua Bookstore with a square meter of 100, and a library with few books. It can be said to be a cultural desert. It is in this cultural desert that the culture of the special zone germinated and developed. The key to its formation lies in the rise of special economic zones.

Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, established on a piece of farmland, sandy beach, barren hills and hills, is characterized by being both an emerging city with rapid construction and an "immigrant city". At present, the population of Shenzhen (including non-registered population) has reached 3.5 million, an increase of 10 times compared with 300,000 in the early days of the city! 90% of the population comes from all corners of the country. These millions of new immigrants have rapidly changed the population structure and cultural quality of Shenzhen. Among them, there are many young people, scholars and experts with pioneering spirit, high education and vigor. They have injected fresh, high-quality and rich nutrients into this barren cultural land of Shenzhen.

The concentration of foreign-funded enterprises and "Three Supplements and One Supplement" enterprises in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has attracted millions of young laborers from rural areas in the Mainland. Although these workers are not permanent residents and formal residents of Shenzhen, they are highly mobile, with low education and cultural quality, but they account for about two-thirds of the total population. These laborers live with the official residents of Shenzhen and have made important contributions to the economic construction of Shenzhen. They brought rich and colorful regional folk culture to all parts of the country; Young and full of vigor, they dared to get rid of the traditional concept of "settling in China" and came to Shenzhen alone with a little hazy ideal light, adding a pioneering, pragmatic, hard-working, simple and energetic cultural connotation to Shenzhen Special Zone; They not only caused the disparity of cultural structure and the prominent phenomenon of cultural fault in Shenzhen, but also provided a broad market and a deep foundation for the development of popular culture in Shenzhen.

As a modern city, Shenzhen is undoubtedly young, which is conducive to shaping a brand-new modern urban cultural image. The age structure of Shenzhen people is also relatively young. At present, the average age of Shenzhen people is only 26 years old, making it the youngest city in China. Therefore, Shenzhen people are full of youthful vitality, without the old-fashioned ideological bondage and the psychological burden of looking ahead, being timid and sticking to the rules; More pioneering, enterprising, innovative and competitive.

Young cities, young immigrants and young careers are the cultural soil of Shenzhen Special Zone.

Shenzhen enjoys excellent geographical location and traffic conditions, adjacent to Hong Kong, only an hour's sea voyage from Macau, and backed by Guangzhou, the largest world famous city in South China. Guangzhou-shenzhen railway can go directly to Kowloon; Spacecraft from Shekou Port can reach Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai Special Zones 1 hour. Cargo terminals and container terminals can connect large cargo ships in major ports around the world. Since the establishment of the SAR, people from overseas, Hong Kong and all over the country have entered Shenzhen for various reasons every day. Foreign culture flows smoothly in this new city through the media and various channels, so that western culture, Hong Kong culture, mainland culture and local culture all meet, collide, merge and grow here, thus giving birth to a unique new culture. As a special "window", Shenzhen can spread China's traditional culture to the overseas world more quickly and smoothly. Similarly, it has the advantage of fully absorbing the advantages of Chinese and foreign cultures in the process of accelerating cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

Shenzhen's current economic situation is a diversified market economy. Foreign-funded enterprises, enterprises all over the country, private enterprises and other economic sectors can find their own foothold and development opportunities in Shenzhen, a unique new city. In line with this, the culture of the special zone has diversified patterns and characteristics, and has a high degree of commercialization of spiritual products and cultural consciousness. On the whole, it is a new culture with popular culture as the mainstay and advanced culture as the supplement.

Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is a "transitional society" from rural areas to cities, from farmers to urban citizens, and from traditional management mode to international standardized and modern management mode. 1 July, 9971day, Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, together with other provinces and cities in China, ushered in the return of Hong Kong, and it began to face a brand-new scene of "one country, two systems". It plays the role of "cultural bridge" in communicating Hong Kong with compatriots on both sides of the mainland and Taiwan Province Strait through Hong Kong.

The competition of market economy, the pioneering mechanism and entrepreneurial spirit of emerging cities have shaped a brand-new cultural concept of Shenzhen people. Culturally, Shenzhen people have both the pioneering and innovative spirit of "pioneering cattle" and the commodity economy consciousness of "gold diggers". The slogan "Time is money, benefit is life" embodies the main spirit of pioneering and innovation and the concept of commodity benefit, which together constitute the main theme of SAR culture.

In the 1990s, the culture of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has taken shape. It is different from our traditional culture, Hong Kong, Taiwan culture and western culture, which shows its own existence value and significance, and also embodies the vitality of a new culture. The continuous inflow of living water from the source ensures the fresh and healthy development of Shenzhen Special Zone culture. Although Shenzhen bears the brunt of the strong impact of western culture, it is not completely "westernized". At all levels of life, China's traditional culture is breaking the old and establishing the new with new forms, new contents and new ideas. Under the strong western color, it is the inheritance and development of traditional culture in China.

Although most families of Shenzhen people are almost pure foreign decorations, they stick to the traditional lifestyle of China people. People will never give up the Qingming custom of worshipping ancestors and sweeping graves; I will never forget the etiquette traditions and festive ways of traditional festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival. In marriage and family life, although people also adopt western-style weddings, they persistently follow the traditional wedding customs; It is rare for several generations to live in a big family under one roof, but the miniaturized family life is still maintained by traditional concepts and is unbreakable under the temptation of western sexual liberation and material and spiritual concepts. Although Shenzhen people are also happy to taste the aroma of coffee and appreciate all kinds of foreign food flavors, they still prefer the cordial and delicious food in their hometown. Pay more attention to the warmth and interest of the whole family gathering at the family table. Although Shenzhen has rapidly become a remarkable food city in the world for more than ten years, there are more traditional restaurants and restaurants in China. Guangdong, Chaozhou, Sichuan and Wu restaurants with different lineages have all kinds of flavors, such as Beijing-Tianjin flavor, Shanghai flavor, Hunan-Hubei flavor, northwest flavor and northeast flavor, and become a veritable national traditional food city. In terms of entertainment culture, the open-air concert "Happy Everyone", which is comparable to the luxurious imported western-style ballroom, has become a "karaoke" with Shenzhen characteristics because of its creativity of entertaining itself and appealing to both refined and popular tastes. It has been prosperous since the mid-1980s. Western Disney-style "paradise" in tourist attractions has always been neglected, while a number of China traditional cultural theme parks represented by "splendid china" and "China Folk Culture Village" are well-known at home and abroad.

All these phenomena not only reflect the deep roots of traditional culture in the culture of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, but also reflect the good recognition and choice of immigrants from different classes all over the country. Among them, there are not only the high wisdom of professional and skilled immigrants, but also the industrious and simple spirit endowed by "migrant workers" in China traditional culture. Under the joint action of openness and tradition, China's traditional culture has been preserved and spread under the strong impact of western modern thoughts. The remarkable and valuable performance of the "special" culture in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone lies in that it can constantly break the old and establish the new in the collision and conflict of various cultures, which not only proves the strong vitality and cohesion of China traditional culture, but also embodies the vitality of extroversion, compatibility, openness and positive progress. Generally speaking, the culture of Shenzhen Special Zone is a pluralistic, open and compatible new socialist culture with China characteristics, which is based on the modern market economy.

(3) Thinking about negative effects

The construction of every cultural model is the crystallization of human social life, the result of long-term accumulation, convergence, collision, integration, inheritance and sublation, which can never be achieved overnight. The "age" of the culture of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only seventeen years, which can be said to be just a tender seedling in the long years of establishing a modern new culture. Undeniably, due to various subjective and objective reasons such as carelessness, deviation and mistakes, there are some negative effects.

Walking in the streets of Shenzhen, all kinds of uncivilized phenomena have destroyed the image of cultural newborns in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. Some beautifully decorated shopping malls and restaurants are dedicated to the idols of the god of wealth and the protector Guan Yu; Ironically, Xiangguo is an imitation made by modern technology. It is what Cantonese people often say: "Deceiving the gods and playing tricks" is actually deceiving others. In the downtown street, there are many fortune-telling stalls, and there are always a few "modern" fortune tellers around. In temples in some tourist attractions, boys and girls dressed in fashionable clothes are mixed with their fathers-in-law, and they bow down before meaningless idols to ask for visas, so as to decide their fate or lifelong events, or make a fortune. People's superstition of numbers is amazing. In order to homophonic "auspicious" numbers such as the telephone number, license plate and house number of "8", they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them through the back door, and some relevant functional departments also calmly marked such numbers as "auspicious" numbers for sale at high prices. The word "4" homophonic with "death" should be avoided as death. Pornographic places that appeared under the banner of "culture" once appeared openly in Shenzhen's nightlife; As for the secret pornographic places, they are repeatedly banned and always difficult to remove. ..... all kinds of worrying phenomena cannot but arouse our deep reflection.

There is no doubt that the wave of reform and opening up with economy as the breakthrough will cause the destruction of a certain culture. Among them, there are both bad habits that disappeared in old China and decadent rubbish in western culture. Shenzhen has become a "modern one-night city" from a poor, backward and closed coastal county. The positive and brilliant effects of "Shenzhen Speed" are often accompanied by the dark and rancid atmosphere of negative effects. Although the people in the SAR are good at adapting to the ever-changing new things, the speed is too fast after all. However, people's understanding of the object must have a process of contact, absorption, digestion and screening. In the face of all new things, whether good or bad, essence or dross, it is still difficult to make judgments and choices in a short time. Even the * * * functional departments, in the process of high-speed operation, are temporarily unable to keep up with the development of new social life. Especially for the transformation in the cultural field, it is more difficult to make effective decisions and guidance from a series of complex relationships such as macro-control, the development and design of the overall culture, the formulation of cultural laws and regulations, and the planning and management of the cultural market. In addition, the guiding ideology and main energy of the leadership are mostly focused on the rapid economic development. Although the overall emphasis is on "grasping the two civilizations together", in practice, it is inevitable to emphasize material culture and ignore spiritual culture.

In the third year of 1990s, Shenzhen's reform entered a new era. The transformation from rural areas to urbanization has been realized within the special zone of 327.5 square kilometers; At present, we are stepping up the transformation from the traditional management mode to the rule of law and the revitalization of the city through science and education in the overall operation of social life, and are stepping up efforts to build an international cultural city in the next decade of 2 1 century. Some projects, such as resources and manpower investment in high-tech construction, resources and manpower investment in Daxing education, the formulation and promulgation of a series of relevant laws and regulations to strengthen the rule of law, the practical actions of various effective measures to build a clean government, and the overall planning and resources investment in elegant culture, have all achieved initial results. Looking forward to 2 1 century, the cultural development of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, although it still needs to experience infinite twists and turns, has broad prospects and unlimited scenery.
