Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the current situation of the loss of traditional culture in Korean literature and the coping strategies for innovative inheritance. This paper adopts research methods such as literature analysis, case studies, and reader acceptance surveys to systematically sort out the presentation and loss of traditional themes, folkloric elements, and values in contemporary literature. The research results show that factors such as modernization, urbanization, and the impact of Western culture have weakened the influence of traditional cultural elements on literary creation. However, through modern adaptations, cross-media integration, and cultural policy guidance, literary works have achieved significant effects in recreating traditional culture. Innovative inheritance not only enhances the readability and social identity of works but also promotes social re-recognition of Confucian ethics, folkloric values, and historical memory. The study concludes that innovative inheritance of traditional culture combined with modern literary forms is an important way to maintain cultural continuity and promote literary development.
