Abstract：Digital games are cultural carriers of real-virtual interaction.Chinese Paladin,Genshin Impact,Where Winds Meet,Tale of Immortal and other domestic digital games adopt modes such as"associative space","deductive story","embedded narrative"and"generative narrative".Through visual translation of scene symbols,free exploration of the open world,and immersive experiences empowered by technology,they reshape the modern expression forms of many cultural elements in Chinese traditional culture,such as literature,philosophy,ethics,etc.,and promote players to transform from cultural receivers to cultural co-creators,promoting the global dissemination of Chinese traditional culture.Digital games deepen the potential application of game narrative in cultural tourism integration,cultural heritage protection and other fields,which provides a dynamic path for the living inheritance and transmission of excellent traditional Chinese culture.
