Digital design research on the cultural memory of silk in modern China(1949-1988)
The silk culture in modern China from 1949 to 1988 is a cultural and economic microcosm of China's transition from the nascent democracy to the exploration of socialism and later to the historical process of reform and opening up.Although the silk culture of this period is preserved by different types of media,such as literature,archives,and objects,which reconstruct the cultural memory under the historical context and social framework,it also faces problems such as the inevitable fading of individual memories,the dispersed yet diluted media attention,and the inefficient passing of generational memories.Activating the memory of silk culture in modern China has the practical importance of protecting and inheriting the illustrious traditional Chinese culture,strengthening national cultural identity,and establishing national cultural confidence.With the continuous development of technology and its successful application in the cultural field,the integration of digital design and digital media has become a new topic for activating the memory of silk culture in modern China.The methods used in this study include literature research,interdisciplinary research,and practical research.To meet the needs of the research direction,the article extensively collected and organized domestic and foreign literature related to cultural memory theory and conducted longitudinal and horizontal comparisons to extract content that has enlightening significance and value for constructing the memory of silk culture in modern China.The article also analyzed successful cases of cultural digital design in China.Guided by the core theory of cultural memory,the article proposed a framework to reconstruct the memory of silk culture in modern China.The transformation from traditional memory media(such as texts,images,and places)to digital media(such as knowledge graphs,apps,and virtual exhibition halls)is one of the focal points of the study.This article documents the digital design practice for the memory of silk culture in modern China while exploring the organic connection among silk culture,design,and cultural memory.By combing and reconstructing the memory connotation and memory media of the silk culture in modern China,using digital design methods such as information visualization design,APP interactive design,and 3D virtual scene design,this article constructs an organic whole of culture and memory,encompassing both individual and collectivity,virtuality and reality.It guides the audience to establish cultural memory and awaken cultural identity based on the cultural information conveyed by design,thus realizing the replication,reproduction,and resurrection of the memory of silk culture in modern China and exploring new ideas and paths for activating its memory.This article expands the application field of cultural memory theory,provides a theoretical basis for the inheritance and dissemination of silk culture in modern China,and reorganizes its internal structure from the dimensions of memory connotation and memory media.It reconstructs the memory of silk culture in modern China and highlights its cultural memory value.In the future,the in-depth exploration and application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality will bestow digital design with more possibilities of integration with Chinese silk culture.
