Abstract
Guided by the national cultural digitalization strategy, digital technologies such as big data, VR/AR, and generative AI provide a new path for the dynamic inheritance of Yanhuang ancestral culture. Chaling Lushui Ancient Lu State in Hunan, as the core activity area of Emperor Yan Yuwang, retains complete documentation, archaeological, and folk evidence, serving as a crucial sample for interpreting the Southern Yan Emperor culture. This paper examines the historical logic of Yanhuang culture in carrying the identity of the community, analyzes the triple value of digital technologies in addressing the challenges of traditional cultural inheritance, proposes digital empowerment implementation paths from three perspectives—historical cognition, emotional connection, and spiritual transformation—and relies on the unified cultural memory of common ancestry to reinforce the “five identities,” thereby constructing a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation through digital means.
