Abstract

The strategic management system for preserving Xiaogan carved paper-cutting art, based on the theory of symbiosis, emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of traditional cultural heritage with modern society, ensuring the art form's continuity. This system also preserves religious and spiritual motifs deeply rooted in the region’s beliefs, allowing the art to retain its cultural and symbolic significance. This article presents a strategic management system for preserving and inheriting the cultural heritage of Xiaogan carved paper-cutting art, utilizing the theory of symbiosis as its theoretical foundation. By applying symbiosis theory, the system fosters a dynamic interaction between traditional cultural practices and modern societal developments, ensuring the sustainable preservation of this art form. The approach integrates local culture, community participation, technological innovation, and education to create a balanced relationship between heritage and contemporary demands. It also highlights the importance of preserving cultural, religious, and symbolic elements embedded in Xiaogan paper-cutting, safeguarding its unique artistic and spiritual value for future generations. This article presented (1) problems and challenges in the inheritance and development of Xiaogan carved paper cuttings, and (2) strategic management system for preserving and inheriting the cultural heritage of Xiaogan carved paper-cutting art based on the theory of symbiosis.
