Auditory Reinvention in the Digital Age: A Triple Translation Strategy for Ritual Sounds in Chinese Cinema

Abstract

As the core element of traditional culture, rituals inherit the collective memory of the nation through physical exercises and symbolic symbols. Sound is an indispensable sound medium in the ceremonial field, and it is also an important component of traditional auditory culture. In the contemporary deeply mediated society, film sound reconstructs ritual sound and incorporates it into the category of film narrative,
which has become an emerging form of communication for traditional cultural inheritance and cross-media translation. This study focuses on
the modern reconstruction strategy of film sound to ritual sound, investigates the practice of film sound design in China, and proposes a threefold path of ritual sound image translation: the construction of ritual structure map through the repetitive coding of sound symbols, the iterative formation of dynamic sound narrative with the help of sound texture technology, and the construction of virtual sound field space to shape
the sacred ritual field. The research breaks through the framework of traditional narratology and provides an interdisciplinary research path for
the innovative practice and dissemination of traditional sound culture in the digital age.
