Abstract

This study explores the current state of protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Dimen Village, Liping County, Guizhou Province. Through an analysis of field surveys and records from the Dimen ecomuseum, we found that although certain cultural heritage items receive high recognition from the government, their activity levels and transmission within the village do not directly correlate with this recognition. Cultural heritage projects closely related to daily life and easy to participate in, such as embroidery, traditional handmade paper, and the Dong Grand Song, are more thriving than those that receive national policy support or have commercial demand. This paper analyzes the seasonal characteristics, gender distribution, participation numbers, and implementation spaces of 13 intangible cultural heritage skills, providing new perspectives and suggestions for future cultural heritage protection and transmission strategies.
