Abstract

Piying, the world’s intangible culture heritage, is an old Chinese art form and one of the origins of modern movie, which encountering the risk of extinction. The spirit of traditional Piying is to express rich emotion and stories through action change by artists. A cross-culture study was conducted to investigate the effect of Piying-induced emotion on heart rate and heart rate variability during Piying perception and performance. The result confirmed that Piying performance was far more effective in emotion induction than Piying perception. The results suggested Chinese are more fond of traditional Piying elements and American prefer experiencing interaction of Piying while the result of Japanese is between those of Chinese and American, they hope that there is a rule to follow in Piying show. Our approach is the first explorative emotion study on Piying art, which could be used as design mechanism to re-create and inherit Piying culture.
