Emotional Drain in Digital Design for Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Abstract

As technology advances, digitalization has become more and more widespread. This is true of the continuation and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in which digital technology is also increasingly utilized. For one thing, the contents of intangible cultural heritage that are difficult to preserve need to be refined for technological presentation. For another, the emotional connotation of intangible cultural heritage implied in the inheriting process should be retained as far as possible. This paper discusses that how digital technology broadens the path of inheriting intangible cultural heritage, analyzes the logical connection between the protection of intangible cultural heritage and digital technology, and also explores the future of developing intangible cultural heritage with the help of digital technology.
