Abstract

This paper explores the value orientation of Chinese folk songs in the intangible cultural heritage protection system, as well as the practical exploration of their protection and inheritance. The study points out that folk songs, as carriers of cultural inheritance, artistic aesthetics, social cohesion, educational enlightenment, and economic resources, possess multi-dimensional values. Facing challenges such as the impact of modernization, lack of inheritors, crisis of cultural identity, limited communication channels, and inadequacies in the education system, effective strategies for the protection and inheritance of Chinese folk songs are proposed through practical approaches including policy support, digital protection, integration into education, community participation, and innovative development, promoting their vitality in modern society.
