The integration of intangible cultural heritage into film and television productions offers a symbiotic relationship, enriching both artistic expression and cultural preservation.
Film and television works imbue intangible cultural heritage with profound cultural significance, elevating their artistic merit and viewer engagement. Conversely, these media provide a platform for intangible cultural heritage skills to transcend their traditional confines, reaching wider audiences and fostering new avenues for their continuation and evolution. This dynamic creates a mutually beneficial and win-win scenario.
As noted by Lu Rong, the deep incorporation of intangible cultural heritage into ancient dramas revitalizes cultural practices. It transforms these traditions from static museum pieces into integral elements of the characters’ daily lives, emphasizing their practical submission. Moreover, this fusion strengthens audience identification and emotional connection. When viewers encounter elements like mother-of-pearl inlay, mortise and tenon joinery, or shadow puppetry within narratives, and witness these skills actively contributing to plot development-whether through dialog, problem-solving, or even rescue-traditional crafts become relatable and accessible. They are perceived not as distant relics, but as tangible, credible, and engaging aspects of everyday life. The visual medium’s precise depiction of technical processes and aesthetic principles within intangible cultural heritage also serves an aesthetic educational function, subtly influencing viewers’ cultural understanding.
