A Study on the Influence of Dramatic Narrative of Guilin's Anti-Japanese War Culture on Youth Cultural Identity

Guilin's anti-Japanese war dramas serve as a paradigmatic practice of the anti-Japanese national united front in the cultural field, and constitute an important approach to fostering the sense of community for the Chinese nation and cultivating youth cultural identity. This paper sorts out the evolutionary trajectory of dramatic narrative in Guilin's anti-Japanese war culture, from historical salvation practice to contemporary diversification. It analyzes the internal mechanism by which drama shapes youth cultural identity through activating cultural memory and arousing emotional resonance. Finally, it proposes pathways for young people to participate in narrative inheritance as excavators, practitioners, and innovators, and points out that in-depth participation is the key to transforming cultural identity from emotional resonance to value internalization. Taking Guilin's anti-Japanese war culture as an entry point and youth cultural identity as a perspective, this study explores how to use dramatic narrative to unite youth cultural consensus and cultivate youth cultural identity in the new era, so as to promote the inheritance of red genes
