Grotto mural dances represent a vital legacy of ancient Chinese music and dance culture, possessing immense artistic and historical value. However, their preservation and transmission face severe challenges due to natural weathering, human destruction, and technological limitations. In recent years, the rapid advancement of digital technology has opened new possibilities for documenting, restoring, and revitalizing these murals. Nevertheless, practical implementation still encounters technical bottlenecks, funding shortages, and cultural misinterpretations.
Based on PEST model (political, economic, social, technical), this paper systematically discusses the status quo and core contradiction of the dance revitalization and digital protection of the cave murals in China by combining literature analysis, field research and case study.
