The sunlight is bright and the tree shadows sway. In the two-story small building made of coral stones, there are computers, sofas, and desks, all in place. More than 4000 books are placed on wooden antique bookshelves. This is the island smart study that the reporter recently saw on Weizhou Island in Guangxi: unmanned, completely self-service, open 24 hours a day... According to data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, there are currently over 33500 new public cultural spaces like Weizhou Island Smart Study in China. Where is the new public cultural space? Chen Binbin, Director of the Public Service Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said that these new types of public cultural spaces have high aesthetic value, strong design sense, rich content, and relatively flexible operation. For example, the Tianhe Wetland Cultural Corner in Guangzhou has green paths, lakeside corridors, artistic facilities, and resting chairs and stools, integrating the functions of art museums, libraries, cafes, tea rooms, and other venues; Shanghai Jiading has established a large number of new cultural spaces such as "Wojia · Show Space" and "Wojia · Art Space" in the middle area between streets, towns, and villages where public cultural facilities have limited radiation. It is exploring the transformation of the cultural service model from "government+cultural venues" to "space+diverse subjects", and high-quality performances, exhibitions, lectures, etc. are no longer limited to traditional venues such as cultural centers and community cultural activity centers, But "wherever there is a place, it will be held". The construction of a new type of public cultural space is accelerating its promotion and popularization nationwide. "This is a significant symbol of the high-quality development of public cultural services," said Li Guoxin, Chief Expert of the National Committee of Experts on Cultural and Tourism Public Services, "In the future, it is recommended that cultural and tourism departments at all levels take the construction of new public cultural spaces as a starting point, accelerate the systematic construction of public cultural facilities, and promote China's public cultural facilities system to reach the international advanced level."
