Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper examines the economic implications of integrating the preservation of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) with industrialization and branding strategies in China. By focusing on poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, ICH initiatives have created sustainable economic opportunities through cultural tourism, job creation, and market expansion. Through detailed case studies of Chishui Bamboo Weaving and Liancheng Lianshi Paper, the paper illustrates how traditional crafts can be effectively commercialized without compromising their cultural integrity. Policy support, digital engagement, and innovation are identified as key drivers for enhancing ICH commercialization and fostering local economic development.
