近年来，中国游戏产业崛起，而《原神》则成为这个璀璨星空中最夺目的一颗明星。游戏的成功不仅体现在其全球热度，更在于其成为中国文化传播的新媒介，走向世界。最近，米哈游总部受到了一群特殊客人的热烈欢迎——来自21个国家的青年汉学家。这群研究中国文化的专家们纷纷来到这个游戏公司，展开一场别开生面的文化之旅。
In recent years, the Chinese gaming industry has risen, and *Genshin Impact* has become the most dazzling star in this brilliant galaxy. The success of the game is not only reflected in its global popularity but also in its role as a new medium for the dissemination of Chinese culture, reaching out to the world. Recently, the headquarters of miHoYo received a warm welcome from a group of special guests - young sinologists from 21 countries. These experts in Chinese culture have come to this gaming company, embarking on a unique cultural journey.

这群汉学家中，有些人对《原神》并不陌生，他们是这个游戏的忠实粉丝。其中，一位来自德国的小姐姐，在朋友的介绍下开始玩《原神》，短短两个月时间里，她对游戏中融入的中国文化元素了若指掌。她最喜欢的角色是凝光，正是因为她身上散发出的浓厚中国风设计。这种深入骨髓的中国文化融入，让这位德国妹子深深着迷。 *vertica1*, "Among these sinologists, some are not unfamiliar with *Genshin Impact*; they are loyal fans of the game. One young lady from Germany, introduced to *Genshin Impact* by a friend, became well-versed in the Chinese cultural elements integrated into the game in just two months. Her favorite character is Ningguang, precisely because of the strong Chinese design elements she exudes. The profound integration of Chinese culture into the game deeply captivated this German girl."

更有趣的是，还有一些汉学家之前对《原神》毫无接触，但对京剧情有独钟。在米哈游总部的展厅里，一曲《神女劈观》让他们沉醉其中，不禁跟着学起来。一曲结束，他们更是表达了想要尝试玩《原神》的愿望。这一切都表明，《原神》通过其独特的文化呈现方式，成功地让这些专业的文化研究者感受到了中国文化的独特魅力。
What's even more interesting is that some sinologists had no prior contact with *Genshin Impact* but had a special interest in Peking Opera. In the exhibition hall at miHoYo headquarters, a performance of "The Divine Damsel of Distress" immersed them, and they couldn't help but try to follow along. After the performance, they expressed a desire to try playing *Genshin Impact*. All of this indicates that '*Genshin Impact*, through its unique cultural presentation, successfully allowed these professional cultural researchers to feel the unique charm of Chinese culture.

那么，《原神》是如何成为这一文化传播的媒介呢？首先，游戏中融入了丰富的中国传统文化元素。不仅有上文提到的京剧元素，《原神》中的角色设计、故事背景、音乐、视觉等方方面面，都展现出传统文化的影子。钟离、刻晴等角色不仅在形象上融入了神话、历史、民俗等元素，连配乐中也充满了中国传统音乐的韵味。
So, how did *Genshin Impact* become a medium for cultural dissemination? Firstly, the game incorporates rich elements of traditional Chinese culture. Not only does it include elements of Peking Opera mentioned earlier, but characters like Zhongli and Keqing blend elements of mythology, history, and folklore in their design. Even the soundtrack is imbued with the flavor of traditional Chinese music.

其次，《原神》作为一款成功走向海外的游戏，向全球展示了中国文化的魅力。这对于中国文化的全球传播起到了积极的推动作用。不仅如此，游戏作为一种新兴且具有互动性的媒介，也成为文化传播的新途径。这次青年汉学家们的参访活动就是最好的佐证。这个国际化的游戏，通过独特的方式向世界传递着中国文化的信息。
Secondly, as a game that has successfully ventured overseas, *Genshin Impact* showcases the charm of Chinese culture to the global audience, positively contributing to the global dissemination of Chinese culture. Furthermore, as an emerging and interactive medium, gaming has become a new avenue for cultural communication. The visit of these young sinologists serves as the best evidence. This international game conveys information about Chinese culture to the world in a unique way.

这次米哈游总部的参访不仅让青年汉学家们更加深入地了解了《原神》背后的文化内涵，也为文化交流搭建了一个新的平台。通过游戏，这些汉学家们不再局限于书本中的文字，而是亲身感受到中国文化的独特魅力。或许，这正是未来文化传播的新方向。在这个数字时代，游戏已经不再是简单的娱乐方式，更是连接世界文化的桥梁。
The visit to miHoYo headquarters not only allowed the young sinologists to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural connotations behind *Genshin Impact* but also created a new platform for cultural exchange. Through the game, these sinologists no longer confine themselves to the text in books but personally experience the unique charm of Chinese culture. Perhaps, this is the new direction for future cultural dissemination. In this digital age, games are no longer just a form of entertainment; they are a bridge connecting world cultures.

《原神》不仅仅是一款成功的游戏，更是一场文化的盛宴。它将中国传统文化以一种饶有趣味性的方式呈现在世界面前，成为中国文化自信的一种体现。未来，让我们期待更多这样的文化融合，通过游戏，让世界更好地了解和接受中国文化的博大精深。
*Genshin Impact* is not only a successful game but also a cultural feast. It presents traditional Chinese culture in an entertaining way to the world, embodying the confidence in Chinese culture. In the future, let's look forward to more cultural integration through games, allowing the world to better understand and accept the profoundness of Chinese culture.
