What is the cultural and creative industry, and what does it include?

Cultural and Creative Industries is a new industry with creativity as the core, which is produced under the background of economic globalization. It emphasizes that the main culture or cultural elements rely on individuals (teams) to develop and market intellectual property through technology, creativity and industrialization. Cultural and creative industries mainly include creative groups in the fields of radio and television, animation, audio and video, media, visual arts, performing arts, craft and design, sculpture, environmental arts, advertising decoration, fashion design, software and computer services.

The Outline of the National 11th Five-Year Plan for Cultural Development clearly puts forward the main task of developing cultural and creative industries, and major cities all over the country have also issued relevant policies to support and promote the development of cultural and creative industries. Cultural and creative industries have different definitions in different countries, such as cultural industry, creative knowledge industry and content industry. The countries that vigorously promote creative industries in the world are Britain, South Korea, the United States, Japan, Finland, France, Germany, China, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. The formulation of policies for the development of cultural and creative industries was first promoted by the Labour Cabinet of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1997. During the same period, under the leadership of President Kim Dae-jung, South Korea, which suffered from the Asian financial turmoil, began to develop the "cultural content industry" from industries such as movies and digital products, and established the Cultural Content Revitalization Institute and passed the Cultural Content Revitalization Law. Similar practices include Australia, New Zealand and European countries. However, in recent years, in China, the cultural and artistic market has flourished, and public performance venues (such as the National Grand Theatre and the 798 Art District) have been increasing. In addition to finding a way out under the advantages of the existing manufacturing industry, it has also begun to attach importance to the development of cultural and creative industries.
