Abstract

            This study examines the research status of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) resources along the ancient postal roads in Southern Guangdong from the perspective of domestic academic history. It reveals scholars' explorations and practices in this field from different angles and levels, resulting in a wealth of research outcomes and experiences. The research is divided into three phases: employing literature analysis to classify and organize ICH resources, conducting on-site investigations to establish a digitized website database for enhanced organization and utilization, and utilizing quantitative research methods to enhance the activation and utilization of resources. The findings of this study hold significant academic and practical significance, as they deepen our understanding of ICH resources along the ancient postal roads in Southern Guangdong and promote their digitization, preservation, and research.
