Abstract: In the context of globalization and modernization, it has become particularly important to build an effective system to cultivate intangible cultural heritage (ICH) inheritors. This study utilizes a mixed-method approach, including questionnaires, interviews, and fieldwork, to investigate the current status of cultivating ICH inheritors in Fujian Province. The findings suggest that policies, integration into formal education, industry training, and continuing education have guided the cultivation of ICH inheritors in Fujian Province. However, problems persist, including lack of systematization, shortage of resources, and limited coverage. Based on a systematic analysis of the current situation, ideas and frameworks are proposed for developing a new system to cultivate ICH inheritors. This study aims to provide a theoretical reference and practical inspiration for the cultivation of ICH inheritors in other regions and promote the effective inheritance and development of ICH.
