ABSTRACT

Digital technology has become an essential tool for promoting the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage. Danzhai Miao batik, recognized as a national- level intangible cultural heritage in China, demonstrates significant potential for digital application. This paper focuses on the challenges currently faced by Danzhai Miao batik in its development and explores how the characteristics of the Metaverse can offer innovative pathways for its digital transformation. Drawing on existing case studies of intangible cultural heritage digitization and Metaverse theory, this study analyzes the application scenarios that combine the technical features of the Metaverse with the unique cultural characteristics of Danzhai Miao batik. The findings indicate that the Metaverse presents a new opportunity for the digital preservation and dissemination of Danzhai Miao batik. It not only maintains the cultural core of its traditional dyeing techniques but also supports the continuation and revitalization of its cultural value.
