ABSTRACT

China, the country of origin of silk, boasts a substantial number of traditional silk techniques and silk-related intangible cultural heritage items. However, as time progresses and the economy expands, the development and inheritance of traditional silk craftsmanship have encountered difficulties. It is proposed that the construction of a digital resource library of Chinese silk craftsmanship would facilitate the resolution of the existing difficulties and the promotion of the educational communication of silk craftsmanship. Taking the construction of the digital resource library as an example, the paper introduces the technical requirements of the library's operating platform and the framework structure of its sharing platform. It also discusses the construction ideas and approaches employed in the construction of this resource library. Over a period of four years, in accordance with the principles of "joint construction, shared benefits and utilizing while constructing", a preliminary digital resource library of Chinese silk craftsmanship was established, with 11,186 granular materials completed, 24 standardized courses and skill training courses developed, and an online VR pavilion, "Chinese Silk Culture Museum", built. These have promoted the sustainable inheritance and educational communication of Chinese silk craftsmanship.
