On the Cultural Motivation of the Generation of New Quality Productive Forces—Constructing the Basic Framework for the Cultural Theory of New Quality Productive Forces
Culture is an essential component of new quality productive forces,and incorporating culture into its theoretical construction presents a new opportunity and path for establishing the paradigm of Chinese economics.In today's world,culture,alongside economy and politics,has become a crucial standard for measuring comprehensive national strength.A country's cultural soft power determines its development trajectory and serves as a profound driving force for productivity breakthroughs.From a diachronic perspective,culture constitutes the fundamental impetus for the generation of new quality productive forces.This is primarily manifested in the following aspects:culture,as the crystallization of human creative activities,deeply embeds into other social structures,nurturing advanced political forms,stimulating economic innovation vitality,and promoting harmonious social development,thereby forming the spiritual driving force for the generation of new quality productive forces.Culture is also the wellspring of scientific and technological progress.The interaction and integration between cultural innovation and technological innovation is a significant mode of modern civilization's evolution and has formed the core driving force for the emergence of new quality productive forces.The culturalization of the economy and the economization of culture have promoted the development of a modern aesthetic economy that combines practicality and aesthetics,products and experiences,becoming important growth points for new quality productive forces.Analyzing the essence and practical form of new quality productive forces from a synchronic perspective reveals that culture endows new inherent regularities to workers,labor materials,and labor objects.Technological innovation has expanded the ways in which culture is generated,product forms,and communication channels."Culture+"continuously extends the tourism industry chain and promotes the cross-border integration of culture and other related industries.The numerous new cultural and economic forms and new consumption generated by these two forces constitute an important part of the new quality productive forces.China's current classification of industries in the national economy includes many specific practical forms of cultural new quality productive forces,such as modern information transmission services,digital creative equipment manufacturing,digital content and related services,and digital design services.Examining the humanistic value core of the generation of new quality productive forces from the perspective of human nature leads to the conclusion that the essence of new quality productive forces is to liberate,develop,and achieve human productivity while promoting the development of a humanistic economy.The new quality productive forces must abandon the capitalist production characteristics of"seeing things but not people"and the lack of humanistic care,instead regarding human needs and comprehensive development,especially spiritual needs,as the purpose of increasing wealth and material enhancement.Being human-centered and ensuring the prosperity of people's material and spiritual lives is the fundamental principle for the development of China's new quality productive forces.In conclusion,culture is a vital force for the survival and development of a nation.The prosperity of culture leads to the prosperity of the country,and the strength of culture leads to the strength of the nation.Only by considering culture as the fundamental factor in the evolution of productive forces can we truly understand the inherent logic of the generation of new quality productive forces.
