Theme ideas:
1. The sense of mission of cultural inheritance
Taking the perseverance of three generations of traditional craftsmen as the main line, it reveals the fragility of intangible cultural heritage skills under the impact of war, commercial interests, etc., Emphasizing that "living inheritance" needs to start from cracking the code (the core of the skills), and is ultimately realized through multiple methods such as digitization and education.
2. Dialectical integration of tradition and modernity
Contradiction: The Gu Group uses capital to plunder intangible cultural heritage vs. The protagonist uses technology (spectral analysis/blockchain) to protect tradition
Innovation: Decoding Guqin soundprint into needlework and nanotechnology-improved embroidery thread, embodying "old craftsmanship and new solutions"
Symbol: The "incomplete beauty" of the ice crack code is a metaphor that cultural inheritance requires intergenerational completion and innovation
3. Cultures on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same roots
The separation and merger of Taiwan's Gu family and mainland China's embroidery genealogy is a metaphor for the blood connection between the cultures of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The process of splicing embroidery patterns and completing stitches implies that cultural identity needs to be completed through joint deciphering of history.
4. The awakening of female power
Using Su embroidery as a carrier, it depicts Lin Yanqiu's growth from passive inheritance to active innovation, Su Meiqing's sacrificial spirit of "faking death to protect the genealogy", and the key role of women in the protection of intangible cultural heritage.
5. Protection of intangible cultural heritage from a global perspective
From local protection (Cellar Exploration) to transnational cooperation (Central Asia Workshop), it is revealed that intangible cultural heritage needs to balance "locality" and "shareability" in the era of globalization. Digital archives and blockchain technology have become a new line of defense for cultural sovereignty.
Theme sublimation: The real inheritance does not lie in monopolizing skills, but in actively fissioning and spreading vitality like cracks. The establishment of Xin Xuemei Hall symbolizes the paradigm shift of intangible cultural heritage from secrecy to open sharing.
