This study focuses on the predicament of living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the Hexi Corridor and proposes a new "deep experience"-oriented approach to digital translation. By analyzing the cultural gene connotations of multi-minzu integration in this region, a comprehensive methodological framework is constructed, spanning from gene extraction and digital representation to systematic translation. The research explores how to transform typical intangible cultural heritage projects into perceptible and interactive digital forms, and builds an immersive experience system with the aid of key technologies. Furthermore, it investigates sustainable inheritance mechanisms within the digital ecosystem, emphasizing that digital innovation must be rooted in cultural ontology, and advocates for the establishment of a diverse and collaborative co-creation network. The study aims to provide a practical solution that combines technological support and humanistic care for the preservation and development of intangible cultural heritage in contemporary times.
