Research on the Excavation and Cross-Field Integration of Animation Cultural Genes in Jilin Province, China

Against the integration of China's cultural power strategy and digital economy, Jilin Province-with profound cultural heritage and animation industry foundations-has unique animation cultural genes.Based on cultural gene theory (Dawkins, 1976) and industrial integration theory, this paper excavates Jilin's core animation cultural genes, analyzes their cross-field integration status and dilemmas, and proposes solutions.It finds Jilin has three gene clusters (natural geography, historical humanities, film-television heritage) and initial integration experience in "animation + cultural tourism/technology/education", but faces superficial transformation and insufficient collaboration.Countermeasures include decoding cultural symbols, building integration paths, and optimizing industrial ecology to support Jilin's Northeast Asian animation highland construction.
