Hunan sports culture boasts a profound heritage, encompassing traditional sports intangible cultural heritage, folk competitions, and festive customs. However, traditional preservation methods face digital challenges, such as monotonous display formats, insufficient interactivity, and limited dissemination channels. With the advancement of China's cultural digitization strategy, digital technologies have provided new pathways for the preservation, innovation, and dissemination of sports cultural heritage. Nevertheless, the Hunan region still requires systematic exploration in areas like the integration of sports intangible cultural heritage resources, digital platform development, and international communication Method: The study employ a comprehensive methodology integrating literature analysis, case studies, and field research, combining digital technologies (e.g., 3D modeling, VR/AR) with multidisciplinary theories to examine the current state of digitalization in Hunan's sports cultural resources. Drawing on international best practices (e.g., the Olympic Museum) and local initiatives (e.g., the "Digital Han Lifestyle" project), it further utilizes questionnaire surveys, expert interviews, and comparative analysis to derive implementation pathways and cultural empowerment strategies. 1. Implementation Pathways: Establish a Hunan sports intangible cultural heritage database, create immersive exhibitions using VR/AR technologies, develop interactive experience-based games, and build an integrated online-offline dissemination platform 2. Cultural Empowerment Strategies: Revitalize sports intangible heritage through digital technologies, enhance educational functions (e.g., online courses), expand international communication channels to promote Hunan culture globally, and foster cross-sector collaboration (with tech firms and cultural tourism enterprises) to improve resource utilization efficiency. 3. Key Support Systems: Strengthen interdisciplinary talent development, improve policy and funding support mechanisms, establish a government-enterprise-society collaborative framework, prioritize data security and intellectual property protection. The construction of the Hunan Sports Digital Museum must be driven by digital technologies as its core, integrating resources, innovating experiences, and expanding dissemination to achieve the dynamic preservation of cultural heritage. Its success relies on technological application, policy support, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, which will not only inject new vitality into Hunan's culture but also boost the development of regional cultural tourism economies, establishing a model of cultural empowerment through digitalization. Moving forward, further exploration is needed to deeply integrate new quality productive forces (e.g., AI, blockchain) with cultural scenarios, continuously optimizing the digital ecosystem.
