Abstract:Simply put, the government’s public cultural service function is the responsibilities and functions the government fulfills in the field of public cultural service. Its responsibilities include determining the strategy for cultural development, formulating policies for cultural development, building platforms for cultural development, ensuring funds for cultural development, evaluating the performance of public cultural service, and maintaining national cultural security. Its functions mainly include integrating communication, guiding service, safeguard and defense, regulation and supervision, resource allocation and so on. The government’s public cultural service function has the basic characteristics of politics, publicity, service, systematicness and innovation. At present, the problems with the government’s public cultural service function is mainly reflected in the misunderstanding of the concept of service, unclear definition of service functions, poor service ability, insufficient supply of service, lower service level, and imbalanced development of service functions. The root cause for these defects lies in the boundary division between “government and market” in institutional transformation and reform. In the future, the government should raise its awareness, specify scope, improve approaches, perfect system construction, increase funds and investment, maintain balanced development, strengthen supervisory mechanism and performance evaluation system, and promote the innovation of the government’s public cultural services.
