Research on the Skin of "Honor of Kings" from the Symbolic Interactionism Perspective: The Case Analysis of Diaochan's "Yu Jian Hu Xuan"

Abstract

Under the background of rapid development of digital culture, game skins have changed from mere virtual decorations to symbolic carriers carrying rich cultural connotations.In this paper, we take Diaochan's "Yu Jian Hu Xuan" skin in "Honor of Kings" as the research object, and analyse how the game skin promotes the players' identity construction of Dunhuang culture through the symbol construction, coding strategy and players' interaction practice based on the theory of symbolic interaction.The study shows that the "Yu Jian Hu Xuan" skin stimulates players' cultural perception and interest through the precise transformation and innovative coding of Dunhuang cultural elements; and the multiple interactive practices of players inside and outside the game contribute to the dynamic generation of symbolic meanings and the continuous reinforcement of cultural identity, which provides a new practical path and example for the modern dissemination of traditional culture.This provides a new practical path and example for the modern communication of traditional culture.
