Taoism, as an important part of traditional Chinese culture, has a rich historical heritage and profound cultural connotation. With the rapid development of information technology, digitalization has become a trend and inevitable choice in modern society. The digital transformation of Taoism is not only to meet the needs of the development of the times, but also an effective way to inherit and promote Taoist culture. In the context of globalization and informatization, traditional culture is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Digital transformation has become the key to the inheritance and development of various cultures. First of all, digitalization can break through the limitations of time and space, and make cultural resources more accessible and disseminated. Second, digitization can effectively preserve cultural heritage, especially for physical materials that are susceptible to corrosion and difficult to preserve. In addition, digitalization helps to attract the attention of the younger generation, which is essential for the transmission of traditional cultures. With the help of digital humanities platforms to carry out Daoist research, the earliest digitization of Daoist literature can be traced back to around 1999, and digital literature platforms such as Chaoxing digitized the "Orthodox Daozang", so that scholars can get away from paper and easily obtain the electronic text resources of "Daozang".
The National Library of China has a total of 4,568 volumes of the Orthodox Taoist Collection.
Digitized Taoist images and image preservation in the modern sense can be traced back to the introduction of cameras and other equipment to China, which preserved some of the old palaces and Taoist priests in modern times. Taking the "Modern Chinese Image Database" as an example, the data platform includes many original Taoist temples, such as the Pan Tao Palace outside the Dongbianmen Gate in Beijing, and the original temple is not there, and these old photos leave extremely precious historical information.
Pan Tao Palace, the full name of "Protecting the Country Taiping Pan Tao Palace", is a Taoist palace located on the south bank of the moat in Beijing's Dongbian Gate. For Taoism, digital transformation is not only a modernization of tradition, but also an important development opportunity. Daoist culture has a vast system of literature, rich art forms, and profound philosophical ideas, all of which can be effectively integrated and displayed digitally. Through digitization, it is possible to better preserve and study Taoist scriptures, historical documents of Taoism, and related works of art. In addition, digitalization can also promote the popularization of Taoist knowledge and foreign exchanges, and enhance the international influence of Taoist culture. Establish a digital archive: This is the basis for the preservation and study of Taoist literature and works of art. Daoist classic documents, historical records, artworks, etc. can be digitized to create a first-class database that is convenient for scholars and the public to access and research. This includes scanning ancient books, artifacts, and digitizing annotations and translations of important documents. Development of educational platforms and courses: Use the online platform to provide Taoism-related educational resources, such as courses, lectures, interactive questions and answers, etc. This will not only help popularize Daoist knowledge, but also attract people interested in Daoism from all over the world. Use virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologiesThese technologies can be used to recreate historical Taoist temples, Taoist rituals, or to create virtual Taoist cultural experiences. Users can experience the immersive Taoist culture and spiritual world through VR headsets or AR applications.
