Abstract

This paper takes the rural performance activities of Puxian Opera as a research sample and explores the inheritance mechanism and innovation path of intangible cultural heritage in the contemporary context through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and text analysis. The study finds that Puxian Opera has realized cultural reproduction through repertoire adaptation, technology integration, and communication model transformation, and its inheritance dilemmas are concentrated in talent shortage and market shrinkage. The study proposes the construction of an "education-industry-media" collaborative development system to provide theoretical and practical references for the sustainable development of local operas.
