  • Summary

    Research on creativity by Chinese researchers began to boom in the 1990s. From then on, creativity research and practice regarding the enhancement of creativity in Chinese societies, particularly in Mainland China, have developed very quickly. The present chapter gives an overview of the enhancement of creativity across the lifespan in Mainland China, focusing on the literature published in the new millennium. Major approaches of creativity enhancement proposed by Chinese researchers on the basis of decades of creativity research and education experience in Mainland China will be introduced. Typical examples of creativity enhancement measures for different age phases, ranging from kindergarten to later life, will be presented. Based on the review, characteristics of the research and practice on creativity enhancement across the lifespan will be summarized, and it is pointed out that more “bottom-up” approaches should be encouraged and promoted in Mainland China in its further efforts in enhancing creativity among people of different ages.
