Website: https://www.iclahd.org/ The 2025 7th International Conference on Literature, Art and Human Development (ICLAHD 2025) was held in Zhengzhou, from October 24 to 26, 2025. The conference conducted in-depth discussions on multiple topics, including literary theory and criticism, cross-cultural art comparison, digital humanities, cultural heritage protection, contemporary art practice, and more. The conference provided an international platform for experts, professors, scholars and engineers from universities, scientific research institutes, enterprises and institutions at home and abroad to share professional experience, expand professional networks, exchange new ideas face-to-face and display research results. It discussed the key challenges and research directions in the development of this field, with a view to promoting the development and application of theory and technology in this field in universities and enterprises. A decisive highlight of ICLAHD 2025 was undoubtedly the invitation of a series of exciting keynote speeches by renowned scholars. Professor Xinyuan Huang (Communication University of China) gave a speech titled "Exploration and Practice of Cultivating Digital Professional Talents Driven by Technology", aiming to provide a "directional anchor" and "practical path" for talent cultivation in the digital age. It not only answered why digital professional talents needed to be cultivated, but also explained how to implement them; Based on the long-term research accumulation in the field of intangible cultural heritage, Researcher Yuan Li (Chinese National Academy of Arts) further refined the theoretical system of the protection and utilization of intangible cultural heritage, responded to the latest discussion on the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage, and promoted the discipline construction of intangible cultural heritage. Starting from the practice of participating in multiple Olympic design events and creating derivative images of the "Dwen Dwen" series, Professor Cunzhen Lin (Central Academy of Fine Arts) explained how design could break through boundaries, create diverse expressions in cultural symbols, brand images, and other fields, providing the design industry with the concept guidance of "breaking conventions and embracing innovation", inspiring designers to explore more possibilities of styles, carriers, and application scenarios in their creations; Professor Hongwei Wang (Tsinghua University) gave a speech titled "One Flower, One World", explaining how design started from the subtle cultural symbols and visual elements of a "flower" and constructed a "big world" that covered cultural, commercial, and social values. He conveyed the design aesthetic thinking of "seeing the big picture with the small and understanding the big picture with the small" to design practitioners and enthusiasts, inspiring them to explore the deep value of details in packaging, book art, and cultural and creative design; Professor Chao Yang (Communication University of Zhejiang) used the approach of "deconstruction (analyzing the evolutionary logic of cultural symbols) + reconstruction (innovating the international presentation form of Chinese style)" to guide design practitioners on how to extract the core genes of Chinese culture; Associate Professor Yan Zhang (Zhejiang University) delivered a speech titled "Exploring World Culture through Advertising: An Analysis of the Content of Cannes Advertising Works"; Vice President Bing Dong (iFLYTEK Co., Ltd.) analyzed how AI could improve efficiency and reduce costs in the creative production process (such as material generation, creative ideation, marketing channel optimization, etc.), and provided an "AI+creativity" landing path for the industry, helping practitioners understand the integration mode of technology and creativity, freeing up the manpower and time costs of traditional creative production, and clarifying the practical direction of industrial upgrading; Professor Kovaleva Olga Vladimirovna (Russian State University)'s speech focused on the integration of form, texture, and function of "three-dimensional spatial patterns" from the perspective of academic research in the field of textile design, which helped to improve the theoretical system of textile design; Professor Jihoon Jang (Gyeonggi University) delivered a speech titled "The Current Trend of Korean Calligraphy Education and Creation", and allowed attendees to better understand the calligraphy education and creative trends in Korea; Professor Tkach Dmitry Gennadievich (Russian State University) delivered a keynote speech on "The Plastic Metaphor of Russian Avant-Garde in Contemporary Art and Design" with a focus on Russian art; Professor Luca Bastianelli (Istituto Pantheon Design & Technology), who had long been concerned about the digital transformation in the field of visual communication, delivered a speech on "The Importance of A UCD (User-Centred Design) Approach in A Communication Process"; Professor Philip Andrew Cleaver (Middlesex University) delivered a speech that focused speech that focused on the integration of literature and art in book creation, provided a new perspective for book designers; Doctor Cristina Dubceac (Istituto Pantheon Design & Technology) gave a speech titled "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Process of Design" with the concept of combining artificial intelligence with creativity to change the creative process. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made ICLAHD 2025 a resounding success. Our profound appreciation goes to the illustrious Keynote Speakers for sharing their visionary research. We thank all authors for submitting their valuable work, the dedicated reviewers for their indispensable expertise and rigorous evaluations, which ensured the quality of these proceedings, and the attendees whose active participation fueled the conference's vibrant discussions. We are immensely grateful to the Organizing Committee, Technical Program Committee, and all other committee members for their tireless efforts in planning, executing, and overseeing every intricate detail of the conference. The research results of this volume are important epitomes of the humanities and arts fields, including literary theory and criticism, cross-cultural art comparison, digital humanities, cultural heritage protection, and contemporary art practice. They demonstrate the dynamic wisdom and collaborative spirit unique to the ICLAHD 2025 conference. We believe that these conference proceedings will become valuable reference materials for researchers, practitioners, and students, inspiring them to conduct more in-depth research and innovation. Looking ahead, we believe that the bonds and ideas established and inspired during this conference will continue to resonate, drive progress, and shape the next generation of technological breakthroughs. Thank you for your contribution to this important academic career, and we invite you to continue this journey with us. ICLAHD 2025 Conference Committee
