Drawing on Zhang Zhidong’s ancient wisdom of “Chinese-style Westernization”, although the historical background is vastly different, the combination of tradition and technology still exhibits strong vitality and unique value in promoting the inheritance and revival of ethnic culture. This combination not only reflects a keen insight into and active response to real-world problems but also highlights a pragmatic spirit in practical exploration, which is particularly crucial for Guangzhou universities’ exploration in the field of folk art education.
