Suggestions on Establishing Sculptures of City Celebrities and Inheriting Traditional Humanistic Spirit

In order to better display the city's characteristics and give full play to its advantages, it is an important way to inherit the humanistic spirit by setting up a series of sculptures of city celebrities, promoting the humanities with celebrities, and excavating and popularizing the deeds of city celebrities. It will certainly promote the construction of historical and cultural cities and contribute to the great development and prosperity of urban culture in the process of continuously improving the cultural literacy of citizens.

First, the social significance of setting up urban celebrity sculptures

1. Sculpture is the solidification of culture and the inheritance of urban history and cultural connotation. Excellent sculpture works can become the vane of culture, the "image spokesperson" of the city, and make people feel regional identity and cultural identity. As a new tourist city, the number of domestic and foreign tourists in Changzhou has increased sharply, especially overseas tourists, who have a strong acceptance and identity with the art form of urban sculpture. Sculpture of urban celebrities plays an important role in promoting urban humanistic spirit.

Changzhou is an ancient city with a written record of more than 2500 years. It has a long history and cultural tradition and splendid humanistic spirit. There are many famous people in history. These celebrities are vivid manifestations of Changzhou's cultural tradition and humanistic spirit. Today, in our urban space, excellent value forms can easily be replaced by unhealthy ideas. Setting up city celebrity sculptures and excavating celebrity deeds is to save history and polish the "golden signboard" of Changzhou humanistic spirit.

Second, some suggestions on setting up celebrity sculptures.

1. Management should be in place and decision-making should be scientific. Government departments at all levels should clearly define the division of labor, implement responsibilities, strengthen the early protection of sculpture planning and design, the middle protection of construction and the later maintenance management, and avoid blind and disorderly redundant construction and multi-head cross management. It is necessary to listen to opinions widely, and important projects should be invited for bidding and hearing, so as to strengthen the openness and scientificity of decision-making.

2. Gather public opinion and wisdom. It is necessary to mobilize and guide cultural and artistic workers and ordinary citizens to participate. In the process of designing and constructing the sculpture of city celebrities, the language forms of the sculpture itself, including the theme, content, modeling, style and form, should closely focus on the cultural characteristics of the city, and strive to achieve cultural achievements in art and produce fine products. For example, in the design process, high-quality products can be promoted by holding competitions such as sculpture invitational competitions; The public can also participate in discussion, recommendation and voting through television, radio, newspapers, internet and other media.

3. The connotation should be rich and the forms should be diverse. To build the sculpture of city celebrities, we should broaden our thinking and adopt various forms of sculpture art forms and connotation expression methods. We can consider the combination of large-scale sculpture and small-and-medium-sized sculpture, and the sculpture group and independent sculpture complement each other; In terms of material selection and expression techniques, it is not eclectic. Besides being set in a large public space, it can also cooperate with schools, communities or buildings. We can integrate celebrity sculptures into parks and civic activity squares, or place suitable celebrity sculptures near existing cultural facilities, so that celebrity sculptures can be harmoniously integrated into urban cultural life and become the cultural vane of the city.

In the process of building city celebrity sculptures, we should dig deep into the deeds of celebrities, introduce their origins with the city and their contributions to the country and society, praise excellent moral quality and carry forward the national spirit.

4. Scientific planning and multi-channel investment. For the construction of urban celebrity sculptures and supporting cultural facilities, government departments should arrange special funds, make scientific planning and rational layout, and improve the efficiency of fund use and transparency of management.

In addition, we can raise funds through various forms and channels, rationally introduce private capital, and guide social forces to jointly promote construction and management:

(1) can cooperate with domestic and foreign celebrity foundations, research associations, clan associations and other non-governmental organizations for construction and management;

(2) Funds can be raised by means of donation;

(3) Commercial operation mode can be reasonably introduced to attract private capital to participate in the construction and management of urban celebrity sculptures.
