Creative industry is an emerging industrial form developed in the era of knowledge economy. Compared with traditional industries, creative industries do not rely on material and capital, but on the technological content and cultural value of products. The development significance of creative industries has surpassed the general emerging industries, which is manifested in the subversion of the traditional economic development model, the innovation of the economic operation system, the optimization of the industrial structure and the promotion of regional economic development. This special function of using cultural soft power to boost economic hard power is the most essential feature and charm of creative industries in the era of knowledge economy. The rise and development of the creative industries is no longer just an idea, but a direct reality with huge economic benefits. John Hawkins, a famous British economist, clearly pointed out in his book "The Creative Economy: How to Turn Stones into Gold" that the world's creative economy creates $22 billion in high value-added every day, and it is increasing at a rate of 5%. Bill Gates, president of Microsoft in the United States, once said: "Creativity has a fission effect, and an ounce of creativity can bring countless business benefits and business miracles." This strong economic growth force has prompted many governments around the world to embrace the concept of "creative industries" and integrate it into relevant national policies and development strategies. In the context of increasingly fierce competition in today's international market, a country or region has never linked its socio-economic fate with cultural productivity so closely as it does today, and the scale and degree of creative industries are used as an important indicator to measure a country's comprehensive competitiveness. It is worth noting that as cultural creativity gradually replaces material resources and social capital as the core and driving force of social and economic development, the creative industry is increasingly becoming a new engine driving comprehensive social and economic development. Therefore, in the new round of international industrial division of labor, it can be said that whoever has culture and creativity occupies the high end of the industrial chain. For example, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Australia and other European and American countries have completed the transformation and reconstruction from industrial countries to creative countries through the creative industry, becoming the cultural empire of today's world, while the rise of Japan and South Korea after the Asian financial crisis also relies on the extreme expansion of the creative industry. Of course, the economic wave triggered by the creative industry is affecting China's economic development mode at an unprecedented speed, changing people's consumption concepts and ways of thinking. At present, China is at a critical moment in the transformation of its economic development mode, and the creative industry will assume greater historical responsibility in the process of China's modernization and development. In the future, if China's economic development continues the development mode of large input of production factors and expansion of production scale, the resource and environmental constraints will become more and more severe, and may even exceed the carrying capacity of resources and environment, which will hinder the pace of development. This is the importance of China's vigorous development of creative industries. Developing creative industries is the development of a low-carbon economy and an innovative economy, and is the only way to effectively promote China's transformation from a "manufacturing power" to a "creative power". It should be noted that with the introduction of China's Cultural Revitalization Plan, it marks that the development of creative industries has risen to the national strategic level. Echoing this, various provinces in China, especially some relatively developed cities, have launched the development strategy of cultural provinces and cities, vigorously developing creative industries, and some have become pillar industries of the local economy. Eastern China, represented by Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Zhejiang, is an area with the early development of creative industries, and successful practices have become the engine driving the development of China's creative industries. Although the central and western regions, which are limited by the overall level of economic and social development, have a large gap with developed regions, they have certain resource advantages in the development of creative industries and are developing rapidly. At present, China's creative industries show the following characteristics: (1) the combination of creative industries with high-tech industries and urban innovation to gain a first-mover advantage; (2) Relying on the regional specialized division of labor, a creative industry park with outstanding characteristics and functions has been formed, and the development trend of regional integration and industrial clustering is obvious; (3) The layout of creative industry clusters is multi-polar, and the urban gradient development is obviously different; (4) As an important carrier for the development of creative industries, creative industry clusters have gradually become the core competitiveness of promoting regional economic development; (5) Relying on cultural resources, a number of creative industry brands have been created. As a country with a large population, humanities and manufacturing, how can China use the existing industrial system and business model to cultivate a new industrial form of creative industry; How to build a cultural aircraft carrier and create a large number of large-scale cultural groups and creative industry clusters; How to improve the innovation ability of traditional agriculture, manufacturing and service industries with cultural creativity, so as to break Hoffman's law of "huge commodity accumulations" that rely on energy consumption in the industrial age, and solve the Smith problem of "why Chinese is industrious but not rich"; These are important issues that the reality puts before us and needs to be solved urgently. In recent years, Professor Hua Zhengwei has conducted in-depth thinking on the issue of creative industry clusters from a keen perspective, and has carried out exploratory work on the relationship between creative industry clusters and regional economic development in the book "Research on Creative Industry Clusters and Regional Economic Development in China". In the economic sense, the economic activities of a country or region are always carried out in a multidimensional spatial structure. The process of economic development is not only accompanied by changes in industrial structure, but also inevitably accompanied by changes in spatial structure. With the continuous development of the creative industry in depth, the creative industry is no longer the growth of a single enterprise, but a large number of enterprises in a certain environment and space range, and gradually presents a regional brand symbol. China's creative industry not only needs to expand the scale of the industry, form large groups, and show the outstanding advantages of large ships going to sea and collectivized operations, but also pay attention to and support small cultural enterprises and business entities, support the big and lead the small, and turn the streams into rivers. At present, the rapid development of various creative industry agglomeration areas in China has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life and continuous research on creative industries. The publication of "Research on China's Creative Industry Clusters and Regional Economic Development" is of great practical significance for exploring the theory and practice of China's creative industry clusters. As one of the research results of the theoretical system of creative industry, this book starts from the phenomenon of economic space activities of creative industry clusters, deeply analyzes the formation mechanism, economic spatial structure, and regional development pattern of creative industry clusters, reveals the evolution law of creative industry clusters and the direction of structural optimization, puts forward the regional layout and development ideas of China's creative industry clusters, especially draws on the successful experience of international creative industry development, describes and predicts the development status and future trend of China's creative industry. This book presents the most complete picture of the development of China's creative industry clusters. From the other side of the scroll, it can reflect the author's rigorous academic attitude and innovative spirit of academic research, which is the most valuable. I believe that such a picture will not only enable readers to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of China's creative industry clusters, but more importantly, it can provide a research reference for theoretical colleagues engaged in the research of creative industries and industrial clusters, and provide a new idea for local governments at all levels and relevant enterprises to find suitable development paths for local creative industry clusters. is the order.
