China – Guideline for cultural development during 2021-25 period unveiled
China’s cultural and art sectors should take the people as their focal point and uphold high standards during their activities, according to the nation’s cultural development plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period.
The general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, China’s Cabinet, jointly released the national guideline for cultural development on Aug 16. The plan is aimed at promoting socialist culture and building China into a country with a strong grounding in culture and art.
Calling culture the soul of a country, as well as the soul of its national governance, the plan said that without prosperity and development of a socialist culture, there would be no socialist modernization.
China aims to see enhanced social etiquette and civility, a more prosperous cultural industry, a further increase in the appeal of Chinese culture and improvement in its cultural system, according to the goals and tasks set out in the plan.

Unconventional ‘love letters’ attract young people to traditional Chinese art
With “love letters” as the theme, an exhibition featuring ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy works at the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) has drawn a group of rare visitors — people aged 35 or under account for more than 60 percent of the exhibition goers.
“While the Xubaizhai collection is well-renowned, young people seldom came to visit. And even if they came, they would only take a quick look and leave,” Mak said.
But this time the exhibition gained unexpected popularity, with the display period extended to over a year.
