Abstract

In recent years, with the persistent growth of cultural confidence and transition of consumption structure, the public has increasing demand in emotional consumption and cultural recognition. As the museum cultural and creative industry is the crucial vehicle for cultural inheritance and innovative development, it has functioned significantly in promoting cultural industry development and improving cultural soft power. This research will take the Palace Museum as a core example and utilize comprehensive applications, such as reference analysis, interpretation of policy, and classic case analysis, to systematically organize the development process, product type, and innovative features of the cultural and creative industry in the Palace Museum. Research finds that the Palace Museum successfully reaches the transformation of cultural resources to lifestyle products through cross-sector integration and digital innovation. However, it still faces several challenges, which include the balance of entertainment and cultural inheritance, the disability of internationalization, the superficial dissemination of culture, and underdeveloped technological application. This text will go through critical analysis from three dimensions—society, market, and technology—and give strategic suggestions such as deepening the spread of cultural value, enhancing the digital innovation, and expanding international routes. This will provide theoretical reference and practical guidance in sustainable development for China Museum Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs).
