ABSTRACT

As digital technology advances and becomes widespread, the demand for protecting traditional cultural spaces grows. Utilizing digital narrative expressions enhances the appeal and impact of these spaces, promoting the dissemination of traditional culture. Virtual exhibition hall design can transcend time and space limitations, offering richer and more diverse display methods, thereby enhancing the audience's experiential enjoyment. This paper uses narrative expression in digital virtual spaces, both domestic and international, as the research entry point. It provides an in-depth content analysis and a systematic elaboration of the methods. The core connotation of the narrative theme is further explored, detailing the performance methods of narrative design. The constituent elements of the virtual exhibition hall's narrative structure and their interrelationships are rigorously deduced. The necessity and feasibility of spatial narratives in virtual heritage presentations are discussed, and the characteristics of these cases are summarized. Finally, the focus is on using narrative expression in digital traditional cultural spaces, exemplified by Du Fu Cao Tang. This includes developing three aspects: character construction, environment construction, and behavior construction.
