The Essence of Cultural Trajectories: A Re-exploration of the Academic Research on the Continuation and Transformation of Socio-cultural Practices

Starting from the connection between cultural content, systems, and ideology, this paper carries out a progressive theoretical analysis and framework construction on the elements and system relationships of cultural continuation and transformation. It provides detailed arguments and interpretations on how culture, as a comprehensive whole of its inherent content, concepts, and characteristics, intuitively reflects its corresponding existence forms and dynamic processes of transformation. Consequently, it offers targeted fundamental academic suggestions and guidance for solving related issues in cultural research, inheritance, development, and creativity.
