Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

"Siheyuan Storm" With the vigorous development of the Siheyuan Cultural and Creative Industry Incubation Center, its influence has begun to radiate to the surrounding communities. Surrounding communities have expressed their hope to work together with the Siheyuan community to jointly create a larger-scale cultural and creative industry cluster, integrate the cultural resources in the region, form a cluster effect, and enhance the competitiveness of the entire region in the field of cultural creativity. At the regional cooperation seminar, Director Zhang, a representative of the surrounding communities, took the lead in speaking: "There are many idle factories and warehouses in our community. These spaces can be transformed into cultural and creative studios or exhibition spaces with a little renovation. In addition, we have some folk artists who are good at traditional embroidery, wood carving and other skills. If they can be combined with the cultural and creative design concepts of the Siheyuan community, more novel and unique products can definitely be developed." Teacher Li from the Siheyuan community responded: "This is a very good opportunity for resource complementarity. Our Siheyuan community has certain experience in incubating and marketing cultural and creative projects. With your space and talent advantages, we will definitely be able to create different sparks. For example, we can jointly hold a large-scale cultural and creative product exhibition to attract more tourists and buyers. In the exhibition, we will display both cultural and creative products with Siheyuan cultural characteristics and traditional handicrafts from your community, so as to promote sales and enhance visibility." A Mr. Zhao from the field of commercial investment also participated in the discussion: "I am very interested in this cooperation project and am willing to provide financial support. But I would like to know how to ensure the innovation and uniqueness of each project in this cultural and creative industry cluster to avoid homogeneous competition?" After thinking for a moment, Mr. Li replied: "This requires the establishment of a strict project screening and evaluation mechanism. We will organize a professional team of cultural and creative experts to review the projects entering the cluster area to ensure that they are unique in terms of design concepts, product functions, cultural connotations, etc. At the same time, we will also encourage exchanges and cooperation between projects, through creative sharing sessions, joint research and development, etc., so that everyone can learn from each other, inspire each other, and grow together in competition." In the process of preparing for the cultural and creative product exhibition, Xiao Wang, who is responsible for exhibition planning, said to the team members: "The layout of this exhibition must be carefully designed, and different theme areas must be divided, such as the courtyard architecture culture area, the traditional folk culture area, and the modern creative fusion area. The exhibits, lighting and sound effects in each area must be consistent with the theme, so that the audience can clearly feel the charm and evolution of different cultural elements." Team member Xiao Li asked a question: "Do we have any specific plans for publicity and promotion?" Xiao Wang replied: "We will use social media, cultural tourism websites and other online platforms to carry out extensive publicity and publish eye-catching content such as exquisite exhibit pictures and interesting creation stories. At the same time, we will also cooperate with travel agencies to include the exhibition in the recommended tourist routes to attract more foreign tourists to visit. In addition, we will also invite some well-known cultural bloggers and Internet celebrities to experience the exhibition on site and conduct live broadcast promotion to expand the influence of the exhibition." When the cultural and creative product exhibition grandly opened, the scene was crowded. After visiting the Siheyuan Architectural Culture Area, a tourist said to his companion: "These cultural and creative products inspired by Siheyuan are so exquisite! Look at this lamp shaped like a Siheyuan courtyard. It not only illuminates the space, but also seems to bring the tranquility and warmth of the Siheyuan home. And through these products, I have a deeper understanding of the architectural structure and cultural connotation of the Siheyuan." In the traditional folk culture area, a foreign tourist was amazed at the embroidery works displayed by folk artists: "The embroidery craftsmanship is so delicate! I have never seen such exquisite handmade embroidery. Every stitch and every thread seems to be telling an ancient story. I want to take this work back so that my friends can also appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese folk culture." As the construction of the cultural and creative industry cluster area has gradually improved, it has also attracted teachers and students from art design majors in many universities to carry out practical teaching and creative research. A college teacher said to the person in charge of the cluster: "The rich cultural resources and active creative atmosphere here provide our students with excellent creative materials and practice environment. We hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the cluster and arrange students to come here for internships and creation on a regular basis. At the same time, we will also let our teaching team participate in the research and development and guidance of some projects to achieve a deep integration of industry, academia and research." The person in charge said happily: "Colleges and universities are very welcome to join us. This will not only bring us fresh creative blood, but also provide students with a platform to transform theoretical knowledge into practical results. We can jointly explore some innovative teaching models and creative methods to cultivate more professional talents for the cultural and creative industries." Through regional cooperation to create a cultural and creative industry cluster, the Siheyuan community and its surrounding areas have taken a solid step forward in the development of the cultural and creative industry, forming a good situation of resource sharing, complementary advantages and coordinated development, continuing the glorious chapter of Siheyuan culture in the development of regional cultural economy, and becoming a new engine for regional cultural innovation and development. It provides useful reference and demonstration for the construction of cultural and creative industry clusters in other regions, and encourages more places to explore new models and paths for the integrated development of culture and industry.

"Siheyuan Storm" In the process of steady development of the cultural and creative industry cluster, the Siheyuan community has ushered in a new opportunity and challenge - digital transformation. With the rapid development of science and technology, the application of digital technology in the cultural field is becoming more and more extensive. The Siheyuan community realizes that in order to continue to maintain competitiveness and further expand its influence in the tide of the new era, it must rely on the power of digital technology to allow Siheyuan culture to move to a broader stage in a new digital form. The community invited several experts in the field of digital culture to discuss the digital transformation strategy of Siheyuan culture. Expert Dr. Chen spoke first: "We can start with creating a digital Siheyuan cultural experience platform. Use 3D modeling, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology to build a virtual Siheyuan world. Users do not need to visit the Siheyuan in person. They can experience the Siheyuan's architectural style, folk customs and traditional life scenes through mobile phones, computers and other devices. For example, in the VR experience, users can stroll in the courtyard like the residents of the Siheyuan, enjoy the changing scenery of the four seasons, participate in the celebration of traditional festivals, and even interact with virtual residents." Resident Grandpa Liu asked with some doubts: "This sounds very novel, but what good does it do for us old neighbors? We live in this Siheyuan every day." Dr. Chen smiled and explained: "Uncle Liu, this digital platform can not only let more outsiders and foreigners understand the Siheyuan culture, but also has many positive effects on our community. For example, it can become a new carrier of cultural inheritance, allowing the younger generation to understand the history and traditions of the Siheyuan in a more interesting way. Moreover, through this platform, we can better record and preserve the cultural elements of the Siheyuan. Even if the Siheyuan faces some changes in the future, these digital materials can also let future generations clearly know what the Siheyuan used to look like." When discussing the development of digital cultural products, a young expert Xiao Li said: "We can create a series of digital stories, animations, games, etc. with the theme of Siheyuan. These digital works can incorporate the legends, family legends and traditional values ​​of the Siheyuan to spread the Siheyuan culture in a way that is more in line with the preferences of modern young people and netizens. For example, make an adventure game in which the player plays the role of a guardian of the Siheyuan, faces various challenges in different historical periods, protects the cultural heritage of the Siheyuan by completing tasks, and learns about the architectural knowledge and folk culture of the Siheyuan in the process." Xiao Zhang, a community cultural worker, asked: "But to produce these digital works, we need a lot of materials and a professional creative team. How can we solve this problem?" Xiao Li replied: "On the one hand, we can organize community residents to collect stories and explore more little-known Siheyuan stories. On the other hand, we can cooperate with professional digital cultural companies. They have rich creative experience and technical strength and can transform these stories and cultural elements into high-quality digital works. At the same time, we can also encourage young people with relevant skills in the community to participate in the creation. For example, those who are good at painting can participate in animation character design, and those who like writing can write story scripts." In terms of the operation and promotion of digital platforms, a marketing expert proposed: "We must make full use of social media, video platforms and other online channels for promotion. We can make some exquisite short videos to show the digital experience fragments of Siheyuan and the wonderful previews of digital works to attract users' attention. We can also cooperate with some well-known online anchors and cultural bloggers to let them experience and recommend our digital products. In addition, we can hold online Siheyuan cultural knowledge competitions, creative works collection and other activities to increase user participation and platform activity. "How can we ensure that the authenticity and connotation of Siheyuan culture are not distorted during the online promotion process?" asked Xiao Wang, a community volunteer. The expert replied, "This requires us to establish a strict content review mechanism. Before publishing any digital content related to Siheyuan culture, it must be checked by a review team composed of cultural experts, community residents and other representatives to ensure that it accurately conveys the core value and connotation of Siheyuan culture. At the same time, we can also add detailed cultural interpretations and explanations to digital works to help users understand better. " When the digital experience platform of Siheyuan culture was initially launched and some digital works were released, it attracted widespread attention. A young netizen left a message on the social platform after experiencing the VR Siheyuan: "This is simply too shocking! I have only seen Siheyuan on TV before, but now I feel like I have traveled back to the ancient Siheyuan life. Every detail is lifelike, and I have learned a lot of Siheyuan cultural knowledge that I didn't know before. " A game player said after playing the Siheyuan theme game: "This game is not only fun, but also very educational. During the game, I unknowingly memorized the architectural layout features and traditional festival customs of the Siheyuan. I hope there will be more cultural games like this. "The digital transformation of Siheyuan culture has injected new vitality into it, making it shine with a different brilliance in the digital age, continuing the immortal chapter of Siheyuan cultural inheritance and innovation, and becoming a successful example of the digital development of traditional culture. It has provided valuable experience and reference for the digital protection and dissemination of other traditional cultures, and has promoted more cultural heritage to set sail in the digital wave and go to the world.

"Siheyuan Storm" As the digital transformation of Siheyuan culture has achieved initial results, its unique digital cultural products and experiences have attracted the attention of many technology companies. A technology giant focusing on the integrated application of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology has taken the initiative to contact the Siheyuan community, hoping to carry out in-depth cooperation and jointly create the "Smart Siheyuan" project, aiming to make Siheyuan the world's first smart community model that deeply integrates traditional and modern technologies, and realize the intelligent living environment, technological cultural heritage, and refined community management. Mr. Zhang, the project leader of the technology company, gave a detailed introduction and communication with the representatives of the Siheyuan community: "We plan to install IoT sensors throughout the Siheyuan. These sensors will collect environmental data of the Siheyuan in real time, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, light intensity, etc. After analyzing and processing these data through artificial intelligence algorithms, the system can automatically adjust the smart devices in the Siheyuan. For example, the smart air-conditioning system will automatically adjust the operating mode according to the indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity to keep the indoor environment comfortable and pleasant; the smart lighting system will automatically turn on and off the lights and adjust the brightness and color of the lights according to the light intensity and personnel activities to create different atmospheres." Uncle Zhao, a resident, asked curiously: "Will this smart device be complicated? Will we old people not be able to use it?" Mr. Zhang patiently explained, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. We have fully considered the ease of use of residents of different ages when designing these smart devices. The operating interface of the device will be very simple and intuitive, and most of them can be controlled by voice. You only need to tell the smart speaker what you need, such as 'turn on the air conditioner' or 'turn up the lights', and the system will automatically perform the corresponding operation. In addition, we will arrange professional technicians to train residents to ensure that everyone can use it proficiently." In terms of the technological application of cultural inheritance, Mr. Li, a technical expert of the company, said, "We will use artificial intelligence image recognition and voice recognition technology to provide a new way for the learning and inheritance of Siheyuan culture. For example, a smart interactive screen is set up in the cultural display area of ​​the Siheyuan. When tourists or residents approach the screen, the screen can automatically recognize and display the relevant Siheyuan cultural content. If you show an old Siheyuan object to the screen, the image recognition system will quickly analyze the name, purpose, historical background and other information of the object, and present it in the form of vivid animation, voice explanation, etc.; if you say a poem or proverb related to Siheyuan culture, the voice recognition system will immediately give a detailed explanation and related stories." Xiao Wang, a community cultural worker, said excitedly: "This is great! This will make the study of Siheyuan culture more interesting and efficient. However, how can the source and accuracy of these cultural data be guaranteed?" Li Gong replied: "We will cooperate with professional cultural research institutions to collect and organize a large amount of authoritative information on Siheyuan culture and establish a special database. At the same time, we will also invite Siheyuan residents, cultural scholars, etc. to review and supplement the data content to ensure that every cultural knowledge point is accurate and in-depth." Regarding the refinement of community management, Mr. Zhang went on to introduce: "With the help of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology, we can achieve intelligent management of people and vehicles in the Siheyuan community. An intelligent access control system is set up at the entrance of the community, which uses facial recognition technology to identify the identities of residents and visitors, automatically records the entry and exit information of people, and improves the safety of the community. For vehicle management, the intelligent parking system can monitor the use of parking spaces in real time, guide vehicles to quickly find empty parking spaces, and realize convenient functions such as online payment. In addition, the system can also conduct intelligent inspections of public facilities in the community. Once a facility failure or abnormality is found, it will promptly notify maintenance personnel to handle it to ensure the normal operation of community facilities. " Zhang, a community property management staff member, raised a question: "Can this intelligent inspection system accurately identify various facility failures? Will there be false alarms or missed alarms?" Zhang said confidently: "Our intelligent inspection system uses advanced sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms. After training and optimization with a large amount of data, it can accurately identify common types of facility failures, such as water pipe leakage and circuit short circuit. At the same time, the system will set up multiple detection mechanisms and manual review links to minimize the probability of false alarms and missed alarms and improve the reliability of fault detection. " During the project promotion process, the residents of the Siheyuan actively participated in it. Master Li, who is good at traditional building repairs, said to the technical staff: "When installing these smart devices, be careful not to destroy the original building structure and style of the Siheyuan. I can provide you with some information about the building structure and hidden projects to help you better plan the installation location of the equipment. " The technical staff said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Master Li. Your experience is very important to us. We will definitely install the equipment under the premise of ensuring the integrity of the Siheyuan building. "When the "Smart Siheyuan" project was gradually built and put into trial operation, it attracted people from all walks of life to visit and experience it. An urban planning expert from abroad said to Mr. Zhang after the visit: "This project is simply a miracle of the fusion of tradition and modernity. It not only provides a high-quality living environment for the residents of the Siheyuan, but also provides a valuable reference example for the intelligent transformation of traditional communities around the world. I believe that this model will be promoted and applied in more places." A domestic technology enthusiast said after experiencing the Siheyuan's intelligent cultural display system: "Through these high-tech means, I have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Siheyuan culture. This innovative way of cultural inheritance has given the ancient Siheyuan culture new vitality and vitality with the help of modern technology, which is really eye-catching. "The successful creation of the "Smart Siheyuan" project has once again pushed Siheyuan to the forefront of the times, becoming a landmark achievement in the integration of traditional and modern science and technology in the world, continuing the glorious chapter of Siheyuan in the fields of scientific and technological innovation and cultural heritage, and setting a shining example for the coordinated advancement of human residential culture and scientific and technological civilization. It has inspired more communities and cities to explore and innovate actively, and to open up a new path of development in the integration of tradition and modernity.
