Abstract

In recent years, young Chinese consumers have a surge of interest in domestic brands and products that integrate Chinese traditional style and culture. On the surface, it is a consumption choice, but behind the consumption behavior is also a specific expression of cultural confidence. The spread of “Guochao” is the new era approach for the promotion of national culture. The so-called “Guochao” communication is a communication concept and communication path to realize personality demonstration and universal fashion symbol recognition based on Chinese local culture and led by Chinese local brands and products in the current communication context. Specifically characterized as “Guochao fashion”, “Guochao cultural creation”, “Guochao beauty makeup”, “Guochao entertainment”, “Guochao animation”, “Guochao online game”, “Guochao marketing” and “Guochao new retail” [1]. Cities are the gathering place of human civilization and memory. More and more cities also integrate Guochao elements into their own urban images. Among the numerous cities in China, Hangzhou and Luoyang have certain representativeness and research value. This paper selects these two cities as cases to explore the ways and paths of Guochao cities using social media to build urban brands. China’s cities have different histories. Cities with a long history and profound cultural heritage like Luoyang need to explore more ways to express traditional history and culture in modern ways in the process of building urban brands; Taking Hangzhou as an example, a more modern and commercial city is to make full use of industrial advantages and establish a city image.
