“…Information systems assist individuals to acquire knowledge and skills linked to folk music by improving access to cultural resources (Griffiths, 2020). This enhanced availability to information enables people to actively participate in folk music events, workshops, and performances, creating greater citizen participation in cultural activities (M. Zhang & Xiao, 2023). Finally, H5d emphasizes the importance of information accessibility as a bridge between information system access and cultural revival.…”

“…Furthermore, information accessibility serves as a crucial mediator between the use of digital platforms and cultural restoration activities. Digital platforms help communities to communicate, plan cultural events, and document traditional activities through facilitating knowledge diffusion and cultural transmission (M. Zhang & Xiao, 2023). Individuals and communities are empowered by the availability of information technologies to preserve and promote their cultural legacy, making it relevant and engaging for current and future generations (Geurts & Cepa, 2023).…”

Digital platforms have become significant vehicles in supporting cultural expressions, thanks to the increasing prevalence of technology and ubiquitous internet access. These platforms provide a wealth of resources, such as online archives, digital databases, and social media, that allow users to easily access information about folk music, cultural events, and historical customs. This quantitative study set out to investigate the relationship between citizen participation in folk music and cultural revitalization and the frequency of digital platform usage and access to information systems. The study also sought to determine how information accessibility mediated these correlations. The study used a cross-sectional methodology and an explanatory quantitative research design to gather data from a sample of 470 individuals, comprising music students from Southeast and Shanxi. Information on the use of digital platforms, access to information systems, participation of citizens in folk music, and cultural renewal was gathered using a structured questionnaire. The data analysis found strong beneficial correlations between citizen participation and cultural renewal and the use of digital platforms. Access to information systems was also favorably linked to civic involvement and cultural renaissance. According to the mediation study, information accessibility plays a critical role in tying the use of digital platforms and access to information systems to civic involvement and cultural renaissance. This study advances academic knowledge by deepening our understanding of how technology, information accessibility, and cultural involvement interact. The results emphasize the significance of information accessibility as a crucial element in encouraging public participation in folk music and assisting cultural revitalization initiatives.

“…Feng Guangyu's article "The Protection of Traditional Music in the Yinshan Regional Cultural Area and the Road to Contemporary Survival and Development" suggests that China's "mountain music" should be studied in the future. This article will take the Guizhou region as a specific area to conduct an in-depth discussion on the current situation of the spread and development of Guqin culture in this area, using ethnomusicology, IJELS 11(2):22-29 postmodern historiography, and other related theories to conduct an interdisciplinary theoretical discussion (Boyu, 2012;Ailin & Karin, 2021;Zhang & Xiao, 2023).…”

The Guqin is a string instrument that has been played in China for over 3,000 years. It is famous for its meditative, soothing sound and is frequently associated with Confucianism, Taoism, and Chinese literati culture. The instrument has seven strings that can be plucked with a plectrum or with the fingers. The Guqin’s sound is said to resemble a gentle breeze blowing through the trees, and it is frequently used in Chinese music to evoke feelings of tranquillity and introspection. This study was conducted by statistically analyzing field research data and making recommendations for their educational status. In this study, samples of local Guqin musical instruments were selected, and a field study was carried out for the three local Guqin musical instrument groups, the Guangling sect, the Jiuyi sect, and the Yushan sect. The questionnaire was administered to 180 participants and included a literature analysis. The results of this study show that the province of Guizhou is home to a diverse collection of peoples, and the art of the Guqin is being modernized and incorporated to produce a form of art that the general populace appreciates. It is possible to make innovations and explore ways to form an ensemble using Guqin, Guzheng, Dizi, and other ethnic instruments, hold various Guqin concerts and art festivals, and engage in cultural and artistic exchanges. Guqin music will be celebrated at an increasing number of festivals in the future.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to make a systematic study of the change of connotation. According to different research perspectives, there are diverse classifications of CS: monumental and daily CS classified by needs [7], historical and modern CS classified by chronological order [8], macro-, meso-, and micro-CS classified by spatial level [9], as well as highand low-value CS classified by value [1]. Despite the diversity of classification methods and different standards, all classifications highlight the value and significance of CS [10], which lays a theoretical foundation for the systematic classification of CS in this paper.…”

Cultural space (CS) holds significant importance for inheriting regional culture, serving people’s lives, and boosting sustainable community development. In this study, based on the research case of the Hanzhong section of the Hanjiang River Basin (HSHRB), the demand and supply matching relationships between three groups of people, namely residents, employees, and tourists, and four types of CS—memorial or religious space (MRS), cultural heritage space (CHS), cultural facilities space (CFS), and cultural industries space (CIS)—is analyzed, with communities as the units. Findings: (1) The CS demand–supply matching relationship exhibited the spatial distribution characteristics of high value balance in urbanized areas, significant lag in suburban supply, and low value balance in rural areas. (2) For the CS demands of residents, employees, and tourists, the total supply was in a substantial shortage, in general balance, and in significant surplus, respectively. (3) There were significant differences in the fairness and adequacy of the demand–supply matching of the four types of CS, with MRS and CHS more equitable and better able to meet the needs of different regions and populations. (4) Six community types with significantly different demand and supply characteristics were classified based on the demand–supply relationship within the community and the supply environment of neighboring communities. They presented a spatial structure of circles outward in the order of high-value-balanced communities, deprived communities, insufficient-supply communities, low-value-balanced communities, and shared communities, with urbanized areas as the core. Deprived communities and shared communities have shown spatial dynamics of urban expansion and village decay, respectively, and they require urgent attention. The study employs a more systematic categorization of CS supply and a more diverse perspective of demand entities, offering new evidence for the equitable distribution of cultural resources among heterogeneous groups and regions. Ultimately, it presents strategies for optimizing demand and supply as well as policy recommendations for community governance, bringing fresh insights into promoting sustainable community development.
