The founding ceremony of the Cantonese Culture Research Institute was held in Guangzhou on the 18th. At the meeting, the digital dictionary project of "Guangzhou Dialect Correct Character Dictionary" and the multimedia textbook project of "Cantonese Crosstalk Academy" were also launched, and the course "21 Days of Speaking Cantonese" was released. Cantonese culture, as an important component of Chinese culture, carries rich historical and cultural connotations. It originated from the ancient Chinese language in the Central Plains region, and in the long process of historical development, it has integrated and influenced with the local culture of Lingnan region, gradually forming a unique language system and cultural characteristics. Cantonese retains a large number of vocabulary, grammar, and phonological features of ancient Chinese, and is an important "living fossil" for studying the evolution of ancient Chinese. At the same time, Cantonese culture covers multiple aspects such as language, literature, art, and folk customs, such as Cantonese songs, Cantonese movies, Cantonese opera, etc. These cultural forms are not only deeply loved by the people of Lingnan region, but also widely spread in the Chinese community around the world, becoming a cultural bond connecting the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and the Chinese people around the world, playing an irreplaceable role in promoting cultural exchange and inheritance. It is reported that the Cantonese Culture Research Institute, as an academic research department under Guangdong People's Publishing House, will actively promote the prosperous development of Cantonese culture in various fields such as academic research, educational promotion, and cultural exchange. Huang Shaogang, President of the Cantonese Culture Research Institute and Chief Editor of Guangdong People's Publishing House, stated that the publishing house will fully leverage its rich resource advantages in the field of cultural publishing, publish a series of high-quality Cantonese culture books, and fully promote the transformation of research results into diversified products, committed to making Cantonese culture truly enter all aspects of people's lives. The attending experts have provided suggestions and recommendations for the inheritance and development of Cantonese culture. Linguist Zhan Bohui said that China has a vast territory and extremely rich language resources, and should attach great importance to the inheritance and development of dialects. To promote the dissemination and promotion of Cantonese cultural resources, the application of Cantonese should be placed in a prominent position. Professor Liu Xinzhong from the Chinese Department of Jinan University proposed that the dissemination of Cantonese requires a dual approach of research and application, with the key being to create high-quality content and suitable application scenarios.
