Abstract

This work explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in creating artworks to represent Tanka culture. By employing Midjourney and ChatGPT, it aims to enhance the preservation and public engagement of Tanka heritage. The approach includes collecting data on Tanka cultural heritage, transforming textual data into prompts with ChatGPT, generating artworks via Midjourney, and filtering the AI-generated artworks to ensure cultural and artistic fidelity. Three distinct Chinese art styles — ink painting, meticulous painting, and photography — were chosen to depict different historical phases of Tanka culture, from early harmonious relationships to contemporary life. This work demonstrates the transformative potential of GenAI in cultural preservation, offering a novel approach to engaging a broader audience and promoting traditional cultural heritage.
