Cultural Inheritance and Innovation Pathways in Rural Revitalization Strategies

This study aims to explore the pathways of cultural inheritance and innovation under the background of rural revitalization strategies to promote sustainable development in rural areas. Through systematic literature review and theoretical framework construction, the study analyzes the current status of rural cultural inheritance and the challenges it faces. Using qualitative research methods and combining the analysis of rural revitalization policies, the study delves into the driving mechanisms of cultural inheritance and innovation. In the process, we focus on the roles of intangible cultural heritage, traditional art forms, and local customs in the modernization process. The research indicates that cultural inheritance and innovation are not only the core tasks of rural revitalization but also important factors in promoting socio-economic development. The conclusion suggests that the inheritance of rural culture should be combined with modern technological means, enhancing cultural vitality and adaptability through diverse pathways such as education, policy support, and community involvement. Moreover, the selection of innovative pathways should emphasize the sustainability of culture, utilizing cultural resources to increase economic benefits and revitalize the local economy through cultural tourism, creative industries, and other means. The study provides theoretical references for policymakers and academia, emphasizing the importance of culture in rural revitalization and calling for collective efforts to create rural culture that is both traditionally charming and modernly vibrant.
