Abstract
Digital narrative has great potential in the field of cultural relics. This visual paper proposes an AI-based digital narrative design method for cultural relics and visualizes their contexts. Based on the study, this method constructed the narrative by taking cultural relics as the main body and referencing historical materials such as literature, ancient paintings, film, and television works. Midjourney was used to generate contextual images, and digital narrative scenes were constructed using mental canvas. Added sketch notes in post-synthesis to complete the work. Finally, in the design practice of "The Silk Road around Chang'an", feedback was collected through the Likert scale to verify the effectiveness of visual narratives and sketch notes in understanding cultural relics. Overall, this study redefines the cooperative relationship between designers and AI in the digital age and provides new perspectives and methods for digital humanities in the future.
