Examining the Current Situation and Pathways for the Inheritance of Chinese Traditional Culture through the Success of Black Myth: Wukong — An Analysis from the Perspective of Cultural Security
Abstract
The unprecedented success of the first domestically produced AAA game Black Myth: Wukong has sparked a wave of Chinese cultural export, providing insight into the current situation and pathways for the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture. From the perspective of cultural security, this paper analyzes how the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture faces opportunities arising from national economic development, heightened awareness of cultural security, improvements in national security systems, and globalization-driven cultural exchange. At the same time, it contends with challenges such as the concerning cultural environment, the plundering and loss of valuable cultural resources, and the immaturity of China's cultural discourse system. The success of Black Myth: Wukong also offers insights into the effective inheritance of Chinese traditional culture by emphasizing the need to harness the strengths of traditional culture, seize development opportunities, and enhance cultural security governance.
