Excellent cultural derivatives can greatly improve the status of culture in social groups and establish regional cultural brands. Due to the impact of modern new technologies and new models, the design of cultural derivatives is also facing new opportunities and challenges in integrating historical features, creating scale experience and providing good services.

With the integration of the above principles, this study defines cultural derivative design with a new logic, clarifies the development paradigm of cultural heritage inheritance and innovation, to improve the realistic value of cultural heritage.
