Intangible cultural heritage bears the historical memories and cultural genes of a nation, and its inheritance faces the dual challenges of globalization impact and inter-generational break. The intervention of digital technology provides a brand-new path for the living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage skills, but current practices mostly focus on the superficial application of technology, lacking in the in-depth deconstruction and innovative transformation of the cultural essence. This research starts from the perspective of cultural inheritance, analyzes the dialectical relationship between technological tools and the cultural core in digital protection, and puts forward a theoretical framework for constructing a "protection-innovation" collaborative system, emphasizing that digital media should serve as a bridge connecting traditional skills with modern aesthetics rather than simply replacing manual practices. Through systematic strategy design, it explores the value regeneration mechanism of intangible cultural heritage skills in the digital age, providing methodological support for the sustainable survival of cultural heritage.
