The Reproduction and Dissemination of Traditional Architectural Symbols in Online Games

Abstract

In this era of digital intelligence, games, which are widely regarded as the ninth art, bear the crucial responsibility of spreading China’s fine traditional culture. Just like after games like Black Myth: Wukong became popular, the traditional architectural elements in the games have become a point of particular public concern and have sparked many discussions. From the perspective of semiotics, traditional architecture is a key part of game scene construction. It breaks the limitations of architectural culture dissemination in terms of time and space through indicative, iconic and symbolic forms. As a result, the content of architectural symbols becomes richer, the interaction between players and architectural elements increases, and communication among players is also promoted. In the practical approach of disseminating Chinese architectural cultural symbols through online games, it is necessary to integrate the game content with architectural elements. The purpose of doing so is to make the unique charm of this culture more prominent and enhance the communication ability.
