Abstract

Traditional Chinese woodblock New Year paintings, especially DGP, hold significant cultural value but face preservation challenges. The Metaverse and digital technologies offer innovative solutions for safeguarding this art form. This paper examines the use of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) for high-fidelity digitization, dynamic presentation, and interactive experiences. Using qualitative research and interviews, it analyzes digital technology's role in protecting intangible cultural heritage and proposes a systematic strategy to ensure the continued preservation and modern innovation of DGP.
