Silk products such as clothes, quilts, and fans adorn the daily life of the Chinese people. Nowadays, digital technology plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting these ancient silk technologies. The China National Silk Museum has established an online platform integrating comprehensive silk exhibitions and scientific research databases. By providing virtual tours, interactive content and educational resources, the platform not only enhances the visibility of this cultural heritage but also creates a digital archive for future generations. This digitization primarily supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for quality education (SDG 4) and industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9).
