Research on the Inheritance and Dissemination of Hakka Culture in the Digital Age: A Case Study of Fujian’s Shen Yuan Tulou

Abstract

This study explores the inheritance and dissemination of Hakka culture in the context of the digital era, taking Fujian Shen Yuan Tulou as a case study. The study analyses the philosophical connotation of Hakka culture, especially the influence of Taoism’s ‘unity of heaven and mankind’ and Confucianism’s ‘people-oriented’ concepts on Tulou culture. Through the literature review, the historical origins, architectural features of Hakka culture, and its application in digital preservation are examined. A digital design scheme using 3D modelling, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies is proposed, aiming to provide an immersive experience for tourists and enhance the interest of the younger generation in Hakka culture. The results of the study show that digital technology can effectively promote the global dissemination and preservation of Hakka culture and provide a new path for the sustainable development of traditional culture. This paper innovatively combines the philosophical nature of Hakka culture with modern digital technology, which is of great significance to the inheritance of Hakka Tulou culture and provides a reference for the digital inheritance of traditional culture in other regions.
