This study explores the application of digital technology, particularly deep learning and digital twin, in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in China. By constructing a "technology-culture-society" collaborative framework, the research aims to address the fragmentation of ICH records and the generational gap in inheritance. The study proposes innovative methods such as dynamic modeling of ICH craftsmanship through digital twins, semantic ontology modeling for multi-modal data association, and the development of VR platforms for immersive cultural experiences. The findings reveal significant enhancements in the accuracy and efficiency of ICH preservation, with a 37% reduction in process error rates in the Suzhou silk weaving case study. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of cultural memory reconstruction in the digital age and offers practical recommendations for policy-makers and practitioners in the field of ICH preservation.
