Exploration of the Spiritual Healing Mechanism of Intangible Cultural Heritage Aesthetics in Space Design

Abstract

Under the dual background of the accelerated urbanization process and the generalization of mental health problems, the aesthetics of intangible cultural heritage (intangible cultural heritage) serves as the spiritual gene pool of Chinese civilization, and its contemporary transformation value urgently needs to be rediscovered and interpreted. With the theoretical aim of constructing "cultural healing space", this paper systematically discusses the innovative application paradigm of intangible cultural heritage aesthetics in the spatial design of emotional adjustment. The research breaks through the static protection paradigm of traditional intangible cultural heritage research, and reveals the emotional regulation mechanism of intangible cultural heritage aesthetics and the practical transformation path from the interdisciplinary perspective of environmental psychology, neuroaesthetics and cultural therapy. Firstly, the triple healing genes of intangible heritage aesthetics are deconstruc: in the dimension of symbol, the traditional pattern constructs cultural identity field through metaphorical narrative; in the dimension of behavior perception, the tactile memory of manual skills activates the parasympathetic nervous system and forms the spontaneous perceptual meridian reaction (ASMR) relaxation effect; in the dimension of spiritual artistic conception, the ecological wisdom of "unity of nature and nature" constructs the cognition of human and land relationship and cultivates the psychological resilience. Then the three-way action model of "cultural translation-spatial narrative-psychological adjustment" is proposed, so as to clarify that traditional aesthetic elements realize the paradigm transformation from material form to emotional media through deconstruction and reorganization, multisensory interaction and awakening of cultural memory. The innovative research lies in creating the interdisciplinary research framework of "intangible cultural heritage aesthetics-spatial medium-psychological effect", breaking through the traditional design functional orientation; proposing the biaxial design strategy of "symbol deconstruction gradient" and "sensory awakening intensity" to provide an operational path for the translation of intangible cultural heritage elements; revealing the cultural gene healing function at the value level, and realizing the value transition of intangible cultural heritage protection from "museum" to "emotional empowerment". The research not only provides the cultural resource transformation paradigm for the mental health-oriented space design, but also opens up a practical channel for the living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage by constructing the new form of "art recovery space", and responds to the dual strategic needs of high-quality cultural development and the construction of a healthy China.
