Abstract
Background: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and continues to protect human health with its unique and comprehensive theoretical system and highly effective treatment methods. The rapid development of digital technology has created diverse, intelligent, and modern support for the preservation and promotion of TCM culture. Challenges: In the context of media convergence, the dissemination of TCM culture faces several issues in terms of content quality, communicators, and dissemination effectiveness. The cross-temporal and spatial real-time interaction, interactivity, and immersive experience provided by virtual exhibitions are conducive to promoting the preservation and development of TCM culture in the era of new media. Objectives: The aim of this study is to develop a TCM popular science virtual exhibition based on computer graphics and communication studies, with the goal of protecting and inheriting TCM culture, popularizing TCM knowledge, promoting scientific research and innovation, and achieving the integrated development of cultural preservation and innovation. Findings: (1) This study clarifies the basic concepts of TCM culture, communication, and computer graphics, systematically categorizing the types and characteristics of TCM culture dissemination and development in the context of the new media era. (2) A survey was conducted through questionnaires and interviews to investigate the current level of TCM awareness and understanding of virtual exhibitions among different age groups, providing a reference for the feasibility and necessity of virtual exhibitions. (3) A virtual exhibition hall was developed that integrates simplicity, educational value, entertainment, contextuality, and participation, designed as a green, standalone, easy-to-operate platform. (4) The TCM virtual exhibition was built using advanced technologies such as computer graphics and virtual reality, innovating the ways in which TCM culture is disseminated. Conclusion: By continuously exploring innovative technological approaches and dissemination strategies, this study brings new opportunities for development in fields such as TCM education and training, skill enhancement, and health management. It also provides practical references for the research and application of similar projects in the future.
