Traditions and Innovations in Cultural and Leisure Management in China

In the context of rapid economic and social development, cultural leisure has become an important part of improving people’s quality of life. This article examines the management of China’s cultural and leisure sector, analyzing the relationship between tradition and innovation and their synergistic development. The study shows that the traditional management model, based on state leadership and public welfare, meets people's basic cultural needs through the construction and free access to cultural facilities. At the same time, innovations such as digital technologies, the integration of culture and tourism, and the participation of public forces bring new ideas and enhance the convenience, accessibility, and appeal of services. Traditions and innovations complement each other: traditions provide a foundation for innovation, while innovations drive the evolution of traditions. In the fore-seeable future, it is necessary to continue integrating traditions and innovations, improve the supply of cultural services, balance public welfare and market mechanisms, and enhance service quality and efficiency to meet the growing cultural demands of the people. This study provides a theoretical framework and practical recommenda-tions for the development of cultural and leisure sector management.
