Multi-dimensional Innovative Revitalization of Lin Zexu’s Cultural Heritage Empowered by Digital Technology

This paper focuses on the critical issue of revitalizing Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage through the empowerment of digital technologies. We combine the national cultural digitization strategy with the regional cultural protection needs of Fuzhou, analyzing the current state of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage, identifying the challenges in its revitalization process, and proposing recommendations for its revitalization. First, we review the current state of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage in Fuzhou, including its composition and spatial characteristics, the status of preservation and restoration, and the state of academic research and digital construction. Next, we analyze the challenges encountered during the revitalization of Lin Zexu’s cultural heritage from six dimensions: spiritual connotation, digital technology, data resources, social participation, long-term mechanism, and talent assurance. Finally, based on the challenges identified, we draw on the 4T (Technology, Targeted, Talent, Transcendent) model and revitalization methods (industrial revitalization, tourism revitalization, social work revitalization) to propose multi-dimensional innovative revitalization suggestions, such as building a spiritual decoding system, developing emotional digital narrative products, deepening the integration of digital technologies, establishing technical adaptation strategies, creating an all-domain digital resource platform, co-building data alliances and standards, innovating public participation mechanisms, promoting integration with short video platforms, innovating investment and financing mechanisms, establishing long-term mechanisms, and accelerating the cultivation of compound talents.
