The modernization of cultural governance is not only the only way for Shandong’s cultural development and progress in the new era，but also a deep support of the construction of a strong modern province. In the cultural construction process，Shandong insists on the organic connection between deepening reform and institutional innovation，and cultural governance has formed certain advantages. However，facing the situation where opportunities and challenges coexist，there are still many deficiencies in the governance system and governance capabilities. To promote the modernization of cultural governance in Shandong，we must accelerate the transformation of cultural development strategies，improve cultural policies and regulations，stimulate the vitality of cultural creation and production，develop emerging cultural industries，comprehensively improve the level of socialization，legislation，diversification，and informatization of cultural governance，and highlight new advantages in provincial construction.
