Research on the Contemporary Inheritance of Lingnan Intangible Dance in the Age of Mathematical Wisdom: Take Lingnan Aoyu Dance as an Example

The advent of the digital intelligence era presents both opportunities and challenges for the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage dance. Focusing on Lingnan Aoyu Dance as a representative case, this study investigates the mechanisms and pathways for the contemporary inheritance of regional intangible dance forms within this new technological context. Through methods of literature review, field investigation, and case analysis, the research first delineates the historical evolution, cultural symbolism, and traditional inheritance modes of Aoyu Dance. It then critically examines the current application of digital technologies - such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) - in its preservation, dissemination, and innovation. The analysis identifies key opportunities, including the upgrade of inheritance carriers, the expansion of participating subjects, the innovation of content forms, and the enhancement of communication efficiency. Concurrently, it reveals persistent challenges such as superficial technological application, the aging demographic of inheritors, the dilution of cultural connotation, and insufficient systemic support. Building on this analysis, the paper proposes a multi-dimensional optimization strategy. This strategy encompasses empowering resource protection through digital acquisition and intelligent management, improving the multi-agent collaboration mechanism, establishing a systematic policy and platform-based support system, enriching audience experience via immersive technologies, and exploring paths for international communication. The study concludes that the sustainable inheritance of Lingnan Aoyu Dance in the digital age requires a synergistic approach that places cultural connotation at the core, leverages digital intelligence technology as support, and mobilizes multiple societal actors as driving forces. This research contributes to the theoretical discourse on intangible cultural heritage inheritance in the digital era and offers practical insights for the living transmission and innovative development of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage dances.
