文化效益与文化命运

The Benefit and the Destiny of Culture

当代中国审美文化分为主导文化、高雅文化和大众文化。市场经济条件下,文化产品成为商品,文化效益决定文化命运。在当前特定社会历史时期,生产和消费高雅文化产品成本高、收益小,生产和消费大众文化产品的成本低、收益大。高雅文化的衰落和大众文化的兴起是历史的必然。主导文化主要得到国家政策的保护和支持,市场化程度较低,不在此讨论范围。随着人们文明程度的不断提高,高雅文化将充分实现其效益而逐渐兴盛。

Great changes have happened to culture during the transforming period of modern society in China. The forms of culture are divided into mass culture,elegant culture and dominant culture. Culture produce is changing into commodity under market economy. The destiny of culture is decided by its benefit.The production and consume cost of mass culture are lower, and its profit is higher.Mass culture is doomed to spring up and elegant culture is doomed to decline. The prosperity of the elegant culture will turn into reality with the people's civilization standards rising.
