Digitalization Empowerment and Collaborative Innovation between Henan and Borderland: Research on the Path of Activating Silk Road Textile Heritage from the Perspective of Cultural Enrichment of Borderland
Taking the Cultural Enrichment of Xinjiang strategy as its analytical standpoint, this study adopts cross-provincial collaborative innovation between Henan and Xinjiang as the entry point of investigation. Drawing on the abundant textile cultural heritage accumulated in the Central Plains, its mature industrial infrastructure, as well as the well-preserved, original intangible assets of Silk Road textile heritage in Xinjiang, this paper dissects the internal mechanisms and practical values of heritage revitalization driven by digital technologies. By sorting out the shared cultural roots and resource complementarity of textile civilizations across Henan and Xinjiang, the paper summarizes prevailing practical obstacles facing Silk Road textile heritage. It further establishes an operational framework for heritage activation, where digital technologies serve as technical support, cross-regional cooperation acts as the carrier, and integrated culture-tourism development functions as practical application scenarios. Targeted implementation pathways are put forward accordingly. This research intends to advance the living inheritance and industrial upgrading of Silk Road textile intangible cultural heritage. It also delivers practical references within textile culture research to sustain and regularize the promotion of the Cultural Enrichment of Xinjiang strategy.
