Chengdu’s digital cultural creativity selected as the only national-level typical case in China.
Integrating demand-driven approaches, reform breakthroughs, technological empowerment, and open cooperation throughout the entire process of expanding and improving the service industry is a key pathway for advancing modern services toward professionalization and higher value chains, as well as toward high-quality, diversified, and convenient development.
Recently, the “Typical Cases of High-Quality Development of the Modern Service Industry,” compiled by the Industrial Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, was officially published. This book covers multiple fields including R&D design, intellectual property, and cultural tourism. Through four major chapters—innovation leadership, industrial integration, quality of life, and open cooperation—it presents a multidimensional view of the diverse pathways for innovative development in China’s service industry.
Notably, Chengdu’s “Multi-Pronged Measures to Promote High-Quality Development of the Digital Cultural Industry” was selected as the only case in the entire book focusing on the cultural industry.
The case systematically presents Chengdu’s specific practices and phased achievements in advancing digital cultural creativity from “single-point breakthroughs” to “systematic supply” across four dimensions: industrial spatial layout, track cultivation, policy ecosystem, and brand building.
Four-Dimensional Efforts: Chengdu’s Practice Path for Digital Cultural Creativity
According to the content included in the “Typical Cases of High-Quality Development of the Modern Service Industry,” Chengdu’s digital cultural industry in recent years has mainly focused on four aspects.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is a key macroeconomic management agency under the Chinese State Council. Established in 2003 through the merger of several former planning bodies, it is responsible for formulating and implementing national economic and social development strategies, including industrial policy, pricing, and reform initiatives. It plays a central role in shaping China’s long-term economic planning and policy direction.
Чэнду
Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China, known for its rich history dating back over 2,300 years. It was the capital of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period and is famously associated with the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system, which still functions today. Today, Chengdu is a vibrant cultural hub, famous for its spicy cuisine, tea houses, and as the home of the giant panda breeding research base.
цифровая культурная индустрия
“Цифровая культурная индустрия” (Digital Cultural Industry) refers to the sector that combines digital technologies with cultural production, including areas like digital art, online museums, virtual heritage, and streaming media. Rooted in the broader cultural industry concept from the 20th century, its modern form emerged in the 1990s and 2000s with the rise of the internet and digital tools, enabling new ways to create, distribute, and experience culture globally. This industry has transformed how cultural heritage is preserved and shared, making it more accessible while also raising questions about authenticity and intellectual property.
