<|reference_start|>Promoting the Culture of Qinhuai River Lantern Shadow Puppetry with a Digital Archive and Immersive Experience: As an intangible cultural heritage, Chinese shadow puppetry is facing challenges in terms of its appeal and comprehension, especially among audiences from different cultural backgrounds. Additionally, the fragile materials of the puppets and obstacles to preservation pose further challenges. This study creates a digital archive of the Qinhuai River Lantern Festival shadow puppetry, utilizing digital technology to recreate scenes depicted in traditional Chinese poetry and painting. Moreover, this study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, to evaluate the acceptance and audience experience of immersive shadow puppetry. An in-depth exploration was conducted from sensory, emotional, cultural dimensions and research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling and other methods. The results indicate that enhancing ease of use and cultural experience can improve audience appeal and comprehension, while enhancing emotional experience can increase audience participation intention. Our research holds profound significance for the preservation and transmission of shadow puppetry.<|reference_end|>
