Construction of Cross-national Communication of Silk Road Cultural Heritage Images from the Aesthetic Perspective

Abstract

The Silk Road is a large-scale historical network that has facilitated the flow of goods and ideas across continents in recent times. With the spread of globalisation in recent years, the new style of visual communication is helping people around the world understand traditional cultures through pictures. This paper studies the construction of cross-national communication of Silk Road cultural heritage images from an aesthetic perspective. Given that aesthetics do not depend on language and place, this study will investigate how the forms, colours, and symbols of these objects inspire universal feelings in people. Research on the mechanisms of modern digital transmission and how global media networks and digital humanities are reshaping the aesthetic consumption of ancient relics. A number of measures have been proposed to restore the original aesthetic conditions and, at the same time, incorporate some modern art elements. Using the universal language of beauty, people around the world can be more empathetic, thereby fostering a sense of shared global culture and contributing to the renewal of the long-standing cultural heritage of the Silk Road.
