Abstract

As a resplendent jewel of China’s traditional intangible cultural heritage, paper-cutting art embodies the cultural DNA distilled over millennia and a distinctive aesthetic paradigm. The dual onslaught of modernisation and the digital revolution have plunged this ancient craft into a crisis of transmission disruption and creative stagnation—who could have foreseen that the delicate artistry once illuminating windowpanes now risks being forgotten by the times? The true essence of intangible heritage preservation has never been to consign tradition to museum dust, but to foster symbiotic coexistence between tradition and modernity. Today’s focus on ‘technology-empowered educational innovation and digitally reconfigured cultural dissemination’ reveals how the rise of information-based education and computer technology is forging a revolutionary pathway for the living transmission and design innovation of paper-cutting art. This paper, grounded in the perspective of intangible cultural heritage preservation, systematically explores the diverse application scenarios of paper-cutting art within contemporary design. It conducts an in-depth analysis of practical strategies that employ digital technology in the transmission of paper-cutting techniques, creative transformation, and dissemination promotion, thereby constructing a tripartite development model that integrates ‘traditional art + modern design + digital technology’. This not only provides a theoretical reference for the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s outstanding traditional culture but also paves a practical path for educational innovation and technological application in the transmission of intangible cultural heritage within the information age.
