This study aims to analyze the digital policies and regeneration cases related to traditional crafts in the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, with the objective of exploring their applicability to the digital development of traditional crafts in China. By comparing the policy directions, technological adoption strategies, and sociocultural contexts of these countries, the study seeks to diagnose the challenges China faces in its digital transition and to propose practical and sustainable development strategies. The research employs an integrated methodology combining literature review, case analysis, and comparative study, focusing on the systematic structure of digital policies, implementation mechanisms, levels of technological integration, and the impact on public engagement. Representative cases include the UK’s Red List of Endangered Crafts, the US’s American Memory Project and Black Craftspeople Digital Archive, Japan’s Japan Search platform and the Kyoto Institute of Technology’s Fusion of Traditional Craft and Advanced Technology program, and South Korea’s Cheongju Cultural Factory and the Gongju Digital Cultural Heritage Festival. The analysis reveals that the UK stands out as a model for institutionalized preservation policies and international governance frameworks. The US demonstrates strong achievements in digital preservation standardization, accessibility, and the establishment of online distribution platforms. Japan actively promotes the industrialization and commercialization of crafts through advanced technological integration, while South Korea expands the social value and contemporary function of traditional crafts through immersive exhibitions, digital content development, and participatory cultural programs. Based on these findings, the study proposes strategic directions for China’s digital transformation of traditional crafts, including the reinforcement of policy support systems, the cultivation of skilled professionals and cooperative networks, the establishment of scientific systems for classification, documentation, and preservation, sustained investment in digital innovation, refinement of international cooperation mechanisms, and the advancement of branding strategies that reflect regional identity and cultural specificity. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the necessity of aligning these efforts with China’s Cultural Renaissance initiative and National Cultural Digitalization Strategy in order to achieve the systematic preservation, creative inheritance, and global dissemination of traditional crafts through digital technologies.

소개
본 연구소의 설립을 통해 우선 한중 양국 국민의 상호이해와 교류증진을 위한 인문, 사회과학적인 연구는 물론이고, 이를 통해 기업(인)이 중국에 안정적인 정착과 교류를 할 수 있는 각종 환경을 조성하고자 한다.
게다가 본 연구소는 기존의 연구소의 기능과는 달리 단순한 학술 교류에 머물지 않고 인적 교류를 통해 양국관계의 이해를 증진하고 나아가 한국과 중국의 각종 프로젝트를 적극 유치, 개발함으로써 지속적으로 재원의 창출을 도모하고자 한다.
