Cultural gene,as a simulated concept,is created in the combination of society and material taking human beings as the carrier,and it is the main substance for the transmission of cultural information.Cultural gene has the characteristics such as transmission,integration,and mutation,and it is the abstract,intentional,and meta-phorical expression of cultural elements.According to the characteristics and attributes of regional cultural genes,they can be divided into regional genes,integration genes,dominant genes and recessive genes.To grasp and clarify the regional culture,it is necessary to decode regional cultural genes,extract featured cultural elements,and embed them into the development system of modern society,city and economy through literal translation decoding,collage decoding,translation decoding,and intentional decoding.Thus,it is possible to build a new paradigm for the inherit-ance and promotion of fine traditional culture,and assist the construction of a powerful cultural country and the mod-ern civilization of Chinese nation.
