Why can't talents in the cultural and artistic circles stay? There are many students majoring in culture and art, but few are engaged in cultural and artistic undertakings. What is the reason?

In the current situation of various problems in the antique industry, although all aspects of society, including the revision of the cultural relics law by the higher authorities, are making continuous efforts to overcome the bottleneck problems in various antique industries. However, the biggest and most urgent problem facing the domestic antique industry is the shortage of talents.

The key is to leave no one behind.

According to statistics, in 20 19, China's antique industry has surpassed the United States to become the largest antique trading market in the world, while the share of European and American auction houses led by Christie's and Sotheby's in China's antique auction market has reached 38.23%. Although there are 10 high-quality auction companies in China, they all belong to young groups, and there are only 16 Beijing Poly International Auction Co., Ltd., the largest auction company in China. As far as the restoration of ancient books is concerned, if 6.5438+00000 people are engaged in this paper restoration industry, it will take at least 585 years to basically restore. According to authoritative data, as of February 2020, there were no more than 654.38+0.300 people engaged in paper restoration, majoring in literature and art, and those engaged in paper restoration after graduation were just ancient books.

However, there is a serious shortage of domestic cultural talents, especially high-end cultural talents, which cannot meet the huge domestic antique market demand. According to the white paper, by 2025, there will be a shortage of professionals in the domestic cultural and art circles as high as 250,000.

What caused such a big talent gap in the antique industry? The answer is that talents in the cultural and artistic circles can't stay.

According to industry insiders, there are as many as 50,000 masters and doctors majoring in culture and art in China every year, but less than 0.42% of graduates are willing to engage in this industry.

Of course, this is also related to the current situation of the development of the domestic antique industry. The lack of attention to the antique industry in China, insufficient driving ability, scattered talents and relying on the old to sell the old are all reasons why talents can't stay.

Among them, the existing hidden rules in society play a major limiting role. Some graduates majoring in cultural relics earn only 4,000 yuan a month even if they work in provincial museums. It will take them 12 years to publish academic papers in journals and become researchers, and generally speaking, older people in the antique industry are not allowed to show their talents, which is why talents in the cultural relics industry cannot stay in other industries or even emigrate abroad. For example, Li Jianchen, a member of Jack Ma's think tank and a Singaporean Chinese, is one of the most obvious examples. Graduated from Fudan University, Ph.D. in History from National University of Singapore, and immigrated to Singapore on 20 19.

Of course, it is foreseeable that the superiors have realized the seriousness of the problem and will inevitably pay more attention to the talents in the antique industry.

Write it at the end

Qiu Shuiping, secretary of the Party Committee of Peking University, said that it will take about 30 years to fill the talent gap in the domestic antique industry. After all, antique talents who leave school need to do more practical work and precipitation in the antique industry.
