Integrating Chinese Cultural Heritage into Modern Video Games: Visual, Musical, and Historical Dimensions
Abstract
and music often draw from various cultures. Chinese culture's growing presence in video games through music, aesthetics, or history has
helped spread it globally. However, this representation is often limited and repetitive, relying on familiar cultural clich that verge on caricature. This article examines recurring portrayals of Chinese culture in video games, exploring their usage, cultural significance, and the meaning behind these representations. We highlight how frequently reused motifs contribute to a narrow perspective.
