The Dilemma and Optimization Paths of Integrating Shanghai Marine Intangible Cultural Heritage into School Education: A Case Study of Jinshan Peasant Painting in Schools

Integrating intangible cultural heritage (ICH) into school education not only helps promote the innovative development and creative transformation of ICH but also solidifies the cultural foundation of Chinese modernization through the transmission of cultural heritage to the new generation.This paper takes Shanghai’s marine ICH as a starting point, examines the Jinshan Peasant Painting initiative in schools, and identifies several dilemmas in the integration of ICH into school education: insufficient teaching staff, varying student learning abilities, and a lack of curriculum development. In response, this paper proposes corresponding resolutions: systematic teacher training, promotion of curriculum development and system construction, and optimization of the teaching model for ICH courses.
