Abstract: This review paper explores the intersection between digitalization, network technology, and the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture, with a particular focus on the role of computing technologies in these processes. Digitalization, which involves converting analog information into digital formats, alongside network technologies enabling global communication and data exchange, has significantly transformed how traditional cultural practices are preserved, adapted, and disseminated. This paper examines the evolution of these technologies, emphasizing how advancements such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and virtual reality have reshaped cultural preservation and innovation. Key themes include the application of computational techniques to cultural heritage, digital artistic expression, and the globalization of cultural exchange. The review also addresses the challenges of digital appropriation, homogenization, and the digital divide. By synthesizing existing literature, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted impact of digitalization and network technology, with a focus on computing-driven innovations, offering insights into future research directions and policy considerations.
