Abstract:The work aims to study the innovative design of visual information with the digital restoration of stone carvings in the Southern Dynasty as the research object, to further strengthen the inherent relationship between visual information and cultural relic restoration, and to enbance the cognitive proccss and feling mode of information art design. As the digial cultural relic restoration technology is constantly innowated, the innovative design of visual information has gradually shown its important role in the prote-tion and restoration of stone carvings in the Southem Dynasty. By sorting out the visual elements such as images, symbols and scencs protected and restored in the Southem Dynasty, based on the existing research of stone carvings in the Southern Dynasty, the visual elements of stone conservation and restoration was combined with modem digital technology and data analysis, case studies,and field rescarch were used to cary out in-depth analysis and rescarch on the information of stone carvings in the Southem Dynasty,which gave full play to the potential of information visualization. New emotional meaning was given to the stone carvings in the Southern Dynasty with a digital and innovative thinking model, which integrated cultural relic restoration engineering, visual infor-mation design methods, and digial information technology. Exploration of the innovative design and breakthrough of visual informa-tion design in the restoration of digital cultural relics can not oaly improve the effecet of visual communication, but also protect and inberit the form and culture of cultural relics better.
