CULTURE PEDIGREE AND DIGITAL EXPRESSION IN FOSHAN LION DANCE

Abstract

"Foshan Xingshi" is an intangible cultural heritage of great significance in Lingnan Guangfu culture, containing rich historical, artistic and social values. In the research article, "Foshan XingShi" is uniformly defined as "Foshan Lion Dance". Based on the cultural core of Foshan Lion Dance, this study systematically reviews its historical background, artistic features, social functions and evolution, and combines the theory of embodiment cognition to analyze its deep cultural connotations, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the digital living inheritance of Lion Dance culture. The study employs a combination of literature review and field investigation to extract the core value elements of Foshan Lion Dance from historical documents, folk records and expert interviews. The results show that Foshan Lion Dance has a long history, evolving from court ceremonies to folk events; The Lion Dance is exquisitely shaped and its performance form combines the beauty of martial arts and dance, embodying the social function and symbolic meaning of warding off evil and blessing and uniting the community. At the same time, the embodied cognitive perspective reveals the important role of physical participation in the inheritance of lion dance culture-through personal practice of lion dance, people's understanding and recognition of the cultural connotation are significantly deepened. Based on the above understanding, this paper discusses strategies for digital living protection and proposes to combine multi-sensory interaction design with virtual simulation technology to enhance the immersive experience of the audience and achieve "immersive" inheritance of lion dance culture in the digital environment. The research provides new ideas and theoretical support for the digital protection of intangible cultural heritage, which is of positive significance for promoting the innovative promotion of traditional culture in modern society.
