Digital Technology Empowers Intangible Cultural Heritage: Revitalizing Traditional Culture in the Modern Era
2025.02.15 18:15

Amid the rapid advancement of digital technology, the preservation of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has embraced new opportunities. Specializing in digital innovation, we provide practical solutions for cultural institutions to safeguard ICH through cutting-edge technological applications.


1. Building Intelligent Digital Archives

By leveraging intelligent data collection and analysis technologies, we systematically document the craftsmanship details and cultural narratives of ICH projects. For instance, in traditional embroidery preservation, our system automatically identifies core elements such as pattern characteristics and stitching techniques, establishing standardized digital archives. It also evaluates the current status of heritage transmission, offering data-driven insights for conservation efforts. A paper-cutting inheritor reported a 70% efficiency improvement in accessing century-old patterns through this digital archive.


2. Innovating Cultural Dissemination

Using AI-powered learning systems, we developed an interactive ICH exhibition platform. The public can now watch live-streamed demonstrations of琉璃 (liuli) glassmaking while listening to inheritors explain crafting techniques in real time. During an indigo dyeing promotion campaign in southern China, online livestreams attracted over 100,000 participants, revitalizing traditional practices in three villages.


3. Facilitating Cultural Product Development

Our intelligent design system generates culturally rooted creative products that align with modern aesthetics. In revitalizing silver jewelry craftsmanship in southwestern China, the system produced contemporary designs that preserved traditional totems while meeting daily wear preferences, resulting in a 45% sales increase post-launch. Cultural center staff noted: "This tool bridges the gap between heritage and youth preferences."


4. Building Global Communication Bridges

Language AI enables automated multilingual interpretation for ICH. During an overseas exhibition of扎染 (zaran) tie-dyeing, the system provided explanations in eight languages, helping international audiences appreciate the ecological wisdom behind natural dye sourcing. Companion cultural handbooks, blending craft techniques with local folklore, gained widespread acclaim among foreign visitors.


5. Nurturing New-Generation Inheritors

Our digital teaching platform simulates master-apprentice interactions. Trainees learning filigree craftsmanship receive real-time feedback on operational details, lowering entry barriers. A cloisonné workshop in northern China reduced training cycles by 40% using this system, attracting 23 young artisans to join the preservation efforts.


Case Study: In a woodblock New Year painting preservation project, we digitally recorded veteran artisans' entire creative process and extracted 26 core techniques through AI analysis. This "living documentation + systematic decoding" model has become the standard teaching material for local ICH transmission.


From digitizing Xiangxi brocade traditions to AI-generated musical scores for coastal fishing songs, technology is expanding horizons for ICH preservation. We remain committed to a core principle: Digitalization does not alter traditions but safeguards cultural roots in a modern context. When master artisans' skills reach millions through smartphone screens, and when ancient patterns evolve into fashionable symbols adored by youth, this dialogue transcending time and space embodies the most profound essence of cultural continuity.
