Cultural Translation and Spatial Implementation of Intangible Cultural Heritage
|
Abstract:
This study investigates the contemporary practice of Huaiyuan rattan weaving in Chongzhou, Sichuan, through fieldwork and documentation of local workshops, focusing on material selection, craft processes, and spatial applications. Drawing on in-depth interviews with third-generation inheritors Li Jing and Li Ting, alongside other artisans, the research uncovers narratives of material transformation, craft evolution, and market adaptation. By analyzing cases such as the rattan weaving exhibition at Shenzhen Bay MixC, Chengdu’s Jinjiang Night Tour, and Park City landscapes, the study adopts cultural ecology and scenographic design as theoretical lenses to examine the ecological, symbolic, and participatory dimensions of rattan weaving. It ultimately proposes a pathway for embedding Huaiyuan rattan weaving into the spatial framework of the “Park City”, advancing an intangible heritage transformation model that integrates ecological value, cultural expression, and experiential participation.
