From 2000 to 2015，countrywide total investment into public culture increased from 30.029 billion yuan to 307.664 billion yuan，with a remarkably average annual growth of 16.78%. By in-depth testing the culture investment related to its economical and financial background，the similarities to the investment into education，science & technology and health，the coordination with residents’ culture consumption，and the regional balance of all kinds of per capita value calculation，we can reveal the headway and the gaps：（1） The cultural investment growth is evidently higher than GDP growth，but slightly lower than the fiscal revenue growth，and also slightly lower than the fiscal expenditure growth；At the same time，certainly lower than education investment growth，and also remarkably lower science & technology investment growth，as well as remarkably lower health investment growth. （2） Besides the cultural investment，the regional disparity of all the other kinds of data has narrowed. It is gradually becoming a reality that the whole country has achieved economical and financial “balanced growth” and “equal growth” in the investment of education，science & technology and health，but the regional disparity of cultural investment expands by 7.24%. （3） The ratio of culture investment to fiscal revenues is evidently lower than that of the cultural consumption to the residents’ income，that to fiscal expenditure is more remarkably lower than that of the cultural consumption to the residents’ expenditure. Public cultural investment growth badly lags behind the demand changes of the residents’ cultural consumption.
