Abstract

Against the backdrop of constructing a modern public cultural service system, the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) inheritance faces multiple challenges, including the aging of inheritors, superficial application of technology, and weakening of cultural identity. Taking the Yao ethnic group's Long Drum Dance in S Town, G Province, as a typical case, this study systematically analyzes the internal mechanism and practical paths of ICH inheritance based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The research reveals that: the technology dimension breaks through the temporal and spatial barriers of inheritance through media innovation and spatial reconstruction, promoting the transformation of ICH from "closed skills" to "open resources"; the organization dimension relies on multi-stakeholder collaboration and institutional embedding to form a closed-loop link of "skill inheritance - knowledge dissemination - value transformation", breaking the dilemma of resource fragmentation; the environment dimension reconstructs the social legitimacy of ICH through cultural meaning re-production and dynamic adaptation to needs, promoting its upgrading from "static protection" to "dynamic evolution." On this basis, the study further proposes a "technology empowerment - organization collaboration - environment activation" holistic improvement path, emphasizing the need to achieve a systematic breakthrough in the living heritage of ICH through in-depth application of digitalization, optimization of the stakeholder network, and cultivation of the cultural ecosystem.
