Exploring the Mechanism of Empowering Textile Cultural and Creative Innovation Development with Traditional Ethnic Music
Main Article Content
Abstract
Under the background of cultural confidence and China-Chic revival, the cross-border integration of traditional ethnic music and textile cultural creativity has become an important path for activating traditional crafts and upgrading cultural industries. This study systematically analyzes the intrinsic relationship and integration logic between ethnic music and textile cultural and creative products, and identifies difficulties such as shallow cultural interpretation, design homogenization, insufficient industrial collaboration, and weak market transformation. A full-chain innovation mechanism of cultural decoding, design translation, technology empowerment, industrial collaboration, market landing, and value cycling is constructed. The study proposes a multidimensional translation path from auditory rhythm, melody, and instrumental form to visual patterns, textile textures, colors, and emotional symbols. It further discusses resource mining, design innovation, technological application, industrial ecology, market operation, and support systems. By treating music as a structured signal, the study provides a signal-processing-based approach for smart textiles, pattern generation, and cultural design differentiation.
