Abstract

This research focuses on the mechanisms through which the industrialization of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) contributes to economic revitalization in western ethnic regions, as well as on the optimization of related development paths. Through theoretical correlation analysis, it reveals that the industrialization of intangible cultural heritage activates regional economic vitality through four major mechanisms: direct economic contribution, employment promotion, industrial structure optimization, and cultural capital transformation. In response to prominent problems such as low degree of industrialization and insufficient innovation capacity, it proposes four-dimensional optimization paths of policy guarantee, industrial integration, talent and brand building, and sustainable development. The research provides a practical guide for realizing the win-win situation of economic revitalization and cultural protection in western ethnic regions and has important significance for enhancing regional cultural soft power and sustainable development.
