Digital Empowerment: Educational Transformation and Digital Environmental Practice Innovation of Rongchang Tao Intangible Cultural Heritage Resources Under the Background of Chinese-Style Aesthetic Education

Abstract

Guided by cultural confidence, traditional inheritance and immersive digital practice, Chinese-style aesthetic education enables the innovative digital transformation of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). As a typical southwestern Chinese ceramic ICH, Rongchang Pottery bears distinctive regional culture, craft aesthetics and humanistic values, yet it suffers from disjointed school education, simplified inheritance modes and insufficient digital practical support. This study explores its digital educational transformation and multi-scenario digital practical strategies empowered by computer technology. Adopting mixed research methods, it establishes a tiered training system of cultural cognition, skill experience and innovative digital creation, as well as an integrated digital practice model covering campuses, communities and society supported by computer virtual simulation, 3D modeling and AI intelligent evaluation systems. The results show that localized digital aesthetic education based on Rongchang Pottery effectively improves students' cultural literacy, aesthetic taste, practical abilities and cultural identity. It also breaks classroom boundaries, realizes immersive digital ICH inheritance and builds a scalable regional digital aesthetic education model. Furthermore, this paper clarifies the correlation between Chinese-style aesthetic education, computer digital technology and ICH revitalization, fills research gaps in regional ceramic ICH digital integration, and offers theoretical and practical references for traditional craft inheritance, high-quality regional digital aesthetic education and cultural heritage education. This study explores its educational transformation and multi-scenario practical strategies, and integrates computer digital technology including virtual simulation, 3D scanning restoration, AI scoring and digital media operation to optimize teaching, display and evaluation links in full teaching chain.
