In recent years, the leisure economy in China has shown a booming trend, with various leisure formats emerging like mushrooms after rain, from bustling commercial districts in cities to quiet corners in rural areas. In this wave, young people are undoubtedly the most active group. Whether it's the hot topic of internet celebrity check-in spots on social media, crowded music festivals and art exhibitions on weekends, or emerging leisure activities such as camping, frisbee, and murder mystery games, the presence of young people can be seen everywhere. They are no longer satisfied with traditional leisure modes, but rely on their keen sense of new things and the spirit of daring to try, constantly exploring and creating their own leisure methods, injecting a continuous stream of vitality into the leisure economy. The leisure economy is not only a superficial consumption phenomenon, but also stimulates the creative vitality of young people. How to cultivate more creative flowers among young people in the fertile land of leisure economy is worth exploring in depth. Firstly, leisure scenes can be regarded as the "incubation cradle" for young people's creativity. The emerging industries covered by the leisure economy are diverse, bringing unprecedented novel experiences to young people, like creative "inspiration triggers". For example, "Hengba" breaks the monotony of traditional gatherings and integrates catering, entertainment, and accommodation. Young people can customize party themes according to their preferences, whether it's anime style, retro style, or e-sports style, all of which can be easily achieved. In the exclusive space, they unleash their individuality to the fullest, inspiring creativity in every aspect from venue layout to event planning. Cooking tea around a stove also has charm. It is not just about drinking tea, but a fusion of social, cultural, and aesthetic elements. Amidst the lingering aroma of tea, young people sit together, sharing their life insights and exploring their interests and hobbies. The selection of tea, the matching of tea sets, and the preparation of tea snacks have all become small spaces for them to unleash their creativity. Social interaction during leisure time is a fertile soil for young people's creativity. When young people step out of their homes and gather with friends in various leisure places, the collision of ideas quietly occurs. At an outdoor music festival, young people from different backgrounds and professions gathered together due to their love for music. They exchanged insights on music styles, shared their own life stories, and talked about everything from music creation techniques to stage performance forms, from cultural trends to social phenomena. The "Symbolic Interaction Theory" proposed by American social psychologist Meade points out that individuals understand and define themselves and the world through interactions with others, and in this process, new ideas and thoughts are generated. Young people constantly receive different perspectives and experiences from their peers in leisure and social activities, like building a creative "material library" in their minds. They can extract elements from it at any time for combination and processing, nurturing new creative achievements. Furthermore, leisure time can be regarded as the "fertile ground" for inspiration. Leisure time provides young people with rare opportunities to relax, freeing them from busy daily routines and soothing their tired bodies and minds. When the tense nerves relax, there is room for creativity to sprout. Legend has it that Archimedes, while relaxing in a bathtub, keenly captured the changes in buoyancy of water and discovered the law of buoyancy in a flash of inspiration. Nowadays, young people face a dual pressure of academic and professional pursuits, often accompanied by anxiety and fatigue. They dispel stress and conserve energy through leisure activities such as vigorous exercise, meditation, and interacting with cute pets. In addition, leisure socializing can also open up information channels, expand networks, enhance individuals' ability to integrate resources, and achieve the accumulation of human capital. Leisure provides young people with free time to explore new knowledge and skills based on their interests, and to deeply tap into their potential. This experience of independent exploration is precisely the high-quality "nutrient" for cultivating creativity. From the perspective of educational psychology, when individuals are in a state of self-directed learning, their curiosity and thirst for knowledge are fully stimulated, and their thinking activity reaches its peak, making it easier to generate unique insights and innovative thinking. A study has found that compared to innovation driven by the environment during working hours, leisure time is more likely to produce original inventions that focus on fundamental laws and concepts and have a profound impact. In order to better stimulate the creative vitality of young people in the leisure economy, multi-party assistance is essential. The government should play a leading role, increase investment in leisure infrastructure, and create more public leisure spaces that combine creativity and practicality, such as art districts, creative parks, etc., to provide young people with free or low-cost creative venues. As an important participant in the leisure economy, enterprises need to have insight into the needs of young people. Enterprises should create a relaxed innovation atmosphere internally, implement flexible work systems, allow employees to draw inspiration in their leisure time, and establish creative reward funds to provide material incentives for valuable creative ideas. At the societal level, it is equally important to create a positive atmosphere for the creativity of young people. The media should increase the promotion and reporting of young people's creative achievements, and through organizing creative exhibitions, online displays, and other activities, more people can see the creative ideas of young people, enhance their sense of achievement and influence, and attract more young people to join the creative industry. Young people use creativity as a pen to paint colorful leisure paintings; The leisure economy provides young people with abundant soil and helps them shine with innovation. The integration and achievement of leisure economy and the creative vitality of young people are driving society towards a more dynamic and creative future.
