As the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage conservation have evolved, the field has transitioned from an “urgent documentation” stage into a novel era of “innovative transformation and creative advancement”. Simultaneously, a primary challenge has emerged: have we genuinely unlocked the deep “black box” of dance as a dynamic artistic expression? Baima Tibetan dance within Sichuan Province serves as a representative instance that this study will utilize to introduce the modern digital twin concept and propose a structured framework for establishing a “digital bodily database” of intangible cultural heritage dance. This repository is not simply for archiving images and videos, but instead seeks to create an accessible, interactive, enduring and living digital representation that can preserve the transient cadence of the material realm while also preserving cultural recollections intimately tied to the dancers’ flesh, essence, etc. The primary objective of this research is to discover a dependable method to isolate the “cultural archetypes” embodying the essence of a tribal community from the high-resolution digital bodily archive, and subsequently investigate how these archetypes can bridge the digital realm with the real world to infuse fresh vitality into contemporary dance pedagogy. Numerous aspects of the project involve connecting the ancient physical wisdom of the past to the future trajectory of education. It might not merely pertain to technology; it is also adjacent to the philosophical basis of vibrant transmission of intangible cultural heritage.
