Abstract

Text data mining serves as a computational tool for analyzing Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). This paper focuses on the Kaiping Watchtower, a pivotal element of Guangdong culture and Kaiping’s historical narrative. The study employs machine learning techniques, specifically LDA topic modeling, to discern thematic patterns of YouTube video comments’ text. Four core themes emerge Kaiping Watchtower’s role in local life, its cultural significance within village communities, its potential as a tourism asset, and its portrayal in media productions. Furthermore, the research explores leveraging text data analysis to enhance Kaiping Watchtower’s promotion, realize the educational significance of intangible cultural heritage and promote traditional culture. It advocates for the strategic development of cultural heritage tourism, leveraging its unique attributes to guide the public to understand history while delving into its deeper cultural meanings. This approach aims to perpetuate Kaiping Watchtower’s legacy, cultivate national pride and cultural identity, guide the public to participate in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage and safeguard its long-term preservation.
