The role of publicity and education is to help people treat things correctly and understand the status quo, thus changing the status quo. The above-mentioned current situation of photography in China shows that without a good social environment, it is impossible to create, and without technical proficiency and theoretical understanding, it is impossible to create in the next step.

Moreover, education is a necessity for human beings. A good education can improve people's conduct and thoughts. Without education, human beings may still be in primitive times. Therefore, education is very important, and more importantly, it has delayed the development of human civilization.

People need aesthetics. From caves in primitive times to modern high-rise buildings, from the skins of early animals to all kinds of clothes now, we constantly create our living environment for the better survival of human beings, so we see that human beings are constantly making progress and development.

People need rest, and entertainment is one of them. Through entertainment, people's fatigue is eliminated, and people have a better mood to work. The aesthetic entertainment function of photography fully embodies the good wishes of human beings.
