For a period of time, Wuxi cultural venues have been seeking novelty and change, enhancing the public's experience and making public cultural services more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Wuxi Museum launched a "Happy Night Tour" activity during the Mid Autumn Festival holiday, allowing people to experience interesting cultural life through activities such as lantern making, eternal flower fan making, and pulp and paper making. Currently, people's imagination of cultural spaces is no longer limited to traditional functions, but also requires cultural experiences and emotional values, "said a person in charge of the Wuxi Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism. Cultural spaces have become an important platform for urban cultural development and exchange. Professor Zhu Rong from Jiangnan University said, "Through research, we have found that there are more and more compound cultural spaces in Wuxi, such as cafes, art experience halls, urban study rooms, tea and snack experience spaces, and small theaters. The new public cultural spaces, through innovative service models, embed various living scenes, promote the integration of diverse urban formats, and provide comprehensive cultural services to the public." In Wuxi, many new public cultural spaces create a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere, and flexible and diverse, "small and beautiful" new public cultural spaces are welcomed by young people. There is a small theater called "TOO BOX Art Space" on the Bund of the Binhu Canal, which hosts a variety of performances and youth club activities such as plays, concerts, and talk shows. Old places also offer new experiences, and the rich history and culture provide an easy way to read. The original cultural venues and units in Wuxi actively integrate social resources, continuously expand service models, and provide citizens with more experience and sense of gain. Recently, the 2024 Wuxi Yuemei Canal Cultural Season, hosted by the Wuxi Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism and organized by the Wuxi Library, led citizens and tourists to read the millennium canal and explore the imprint of civilization through activities such as "Exploring the Origin of the Grand Canal" lectures by famous experts, themed reading tours, cultural salons, and book recommendations. In order to allow citizens and tourists to appreciate the unique charm and profound cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, Wuxi Library specially invited Professor He Yunao from the School of History of Nanjing University to be a guest at the "Donglin Culture Lecture", comprehensively interpreting the profound humanistic connotation and rich contemporary value of the Grand Canal from multiple perspectives, and deepening the public's comprehensive understanding and knowledge of canal culture. Traditional cultural venues are also trying more humane and diversified ways of opening up. The person in charge of Wuxi Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology revealed that in the first half of this year, the institute built a cultural relic restoration and publicity exhibition center by using high-tech cultural relic protection and restoration equipment such as confocal microscopy Raman spectrometer and cultural relic specific laser cleaning machine, leading the public to experience the charm of technological archaeology. History is the root of a city, and literature is the soul of a city. Every city has its own brilliant epic and culture, which should be the core attraction of the city Professor Zhuang Ruojiang from Jiangnan University said that cultural spaces should be able to attract visitors and gather popularity, activate culture, and make history closer and touchable; Make culture vivid and experiential. At the same time, it is necessary to highlight the cultural characteristics of the city. Recently, the "Xishui Market" reopened at Donglin Academy, deeply integrating with urban culture to create more immersive living scenes that can be stayed, experienced, and consumed. Public cultural spaces carry local culture and should also be an important scene for showcasing the "tin lifestyle". Especially starting from this year's Mid Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, Wuxi City will extend the opening hours of municipal cultural venues during statutory holidays and winter and summer vacations. As more and more public cultural spaces are "opened up" in new ways, people's understanding and love for this city are also on the rise. Industry insiders believe that in order for cities to "break through" and "emerge from the circle", it lies in heterogeneity. Breaking the test paper "cannot be done by copying homework, but by carefully answering one's own" test paper ", showcasing one's cultural traits, interpreting one's own way of life, and creating one's own humanistic landscape. As an important battlefield for the construction of urban public cultural services, cultural venues enrich the cultural life of the masses with their distinct local attributes and humanistic characteristics. Wuxi is constantly innovating cultural services and cultural product supply, transforming urban culture into new traffic and new momentum, empowering the development of cultural economy through the enhancement of experiential value, and activating new engines of urban economic development.
