Abstract

Public health highlights “public utilities,” emphasizes the attributes of public goods and services, and aims to clarify the responsibility of government leadership; highlighting “maintaining health equity” aims to make it clear that public health not only guarantees health but also focuses on fairness; the purpose extends to “maintaining social stability and development,” emphasizing that the function of public health is not only to protect health; emphasizing that public health is “one science” and aims to call for respect for the laws of science and the cross-integration of medicine with other natural and social sciences; and emphasizing that public health “focuses on practice” makes it clear that strengthening the implementation of various policies and measures is the key to achieving purpose and values. The development of the entertainment and sports industry is directly related to the development, stability, and people’s welfare of the country. Under the common influence of various factors, such as the increasing level of social economy and technology, the growth of people’s leisure time, and the change in social consumption concept, the development of China’s entertainment and sports industry has shown a certain scale effect, social correlation effect, and employment effect. However, due to the continuous advancement of the development process of China’s entertainment and sports industry, some problems have emerged, such as uneven development speed, small industrial scale, low industrial technology level, lack of service commodity types, unreasonable market resource allocation, and serious shortage of professionals in relevant fields. Thus, it limits the development process of China’s entertainment and sports industry and is not conducive to the ecological development of China’s entertainment and sports industry. On this basis, the state has formulated the guiding opinions on improving China’s leisure sports policies and regulations: adjusting the method, intensity, and direction of the state’s direct financial investment; strengthening the support for social funds and sports clubs; reducing the price and reducing the cost of entertainment; and establishing a reasonable industrial integrity system and standards; a government supervision and performance evaluation system has been initially formed. It aims to highlight that all aspects of society should also serve health while enjoying health; comprehensive policies are the guarantee for promoting the benign operation of the system.
