In 2014，the countrywide overall cultural consumption demand in urban and rural areas continued to maintain high growth：total cultural consumption went up by 14.80%，reaching 1491.539 billion yuan；the per capita value went up by 14.22%，reaching 1093.29 yuan. As measured by per capita value，the annual growth of cultural consumption in urban and rural areas was significantly higher than the GDP growth，remarkably higher than the residents’ income growth and slightly lower than the total consumption growth，also significantly higher than the savings growth. The disparity in cultural consumption between urban and rural areas shrank by 46.85%；the regional gap of cultural consumption in urban and rural areas among various provinces shrank by 9.50% over the previous year. The status evaluations of countrywide overall cultural consumption demand in urban and rural areas in 2014 are as follows：the value of vertical evaluation is remarkably higher than the base value since the period of firstly five-year，the period of secondly five-year，the period of thirdly five-year，the period of fourly five-year and the previous year；the annual lateral evaluation without urban-rural and regional gaps is certainly lower than the ideal value，because of the continuous existing disparity of the urban-rural and the regional gaps.
