On the creative path of original picture book content from the dual perspectives of culture and biomechanics

In recent years, under the theme of vigorously promoting traditional Chinese culture in China, original picture books of traditional Chinese culture have ushered in development opportunities, and a variety of original children’s picture books of traditional culture have come onto the market in a variety of ways. Based on this, this paper explores the path of original picture book content creation from a cultural perspective. It introduces the origins and development of original picture books, as well as the methods and key points of content creation. It analyses the problems of creating original picture books based on a cultural perspective, including traditional story themes, the homogenisation of painting styles and the disconnect between creative content and modern life. Moreover, this paper extends its exploration by integrating biomechanics. Strategies for creating content for original picture books based on a cultural perspective are proposed, including combining tradition with fun, establishing the creator’s own unique style, and selecting stories that are drawn in line with modern education, but also integrating biomechanical knowledge. For example, accurately depicting the biomechanics of character movements to enhance authenticity, endowing cultural symbols with biomechanical - based meanings, and creating interactive experiences related to biomechanics. By incorporating biomechanics, picture books can offer readers a more immersive and educational experience. This paper aims to provide references and lessons for the creation of content for original picture books.
