Abstract

The main objective of of this research is to investigate Huanggang, a city in Hubei province known for its rich historical legacy, strong educational traditions, and growing economy. It focuses on Huanggang’s Chinese revolutionary heritage, examining the city’s diverse cultural landscape shaped by its significant role in China’s revolutionary movements. The study explores historical sites, artifacts, and intangible cultural practices that together form Huanggang’s revolutionary legacy. It also analyzes the connections between major national revolutionary movements and local dynamics, highlighting the specific contributions of Huanggang’s leaders. This paper uses Huanggang as a micro-level case study to address the research gap concerning the link between regional revolutionary heritage and the national narrative. Using a mixed- methods approach, this research examines the opportunities and challenges of preserving and promoting this heritage, including the restoration and dissemination of revolutionary cultural artifacts through advanced technologies within the film and drama industry, aligning with Xi Jinping’s soft power strategy. The findings highlight the vital importance of protecting Huanggang’s revolutionary culture for its educational potential, cultural significance, and historical value. The study recommends that local authorities adopt sustainable tourism strategies and encourage community-led conservation efforts to safeguard the authenticity of Huanggang’s revolutionary heritage. Additionally, it suggests developing educational programs—particularly those that highlight the region’s unsung heroes—within universities, colleges, and institutes to deepen understanding of this revolutionary legacy and its enduring impact on regional and national culture and identity
