Taking handicraft ICH resources in northern Xinjiang as the research object, this thesis discusses the necessity of integrating northern Xinjiang ICH into modern design curriculum supported by digital technology, analyzes the current situation and core predicaments of existing teaching practice, and puts forward specific paths for curriculum system reconstruction combined with the logic of digital empowerment. The study finds that systematic curriculum reconstruction can break the temporal and spatial limitations of traditional ICH inheritance, and realize the mutual promotion of cultural inheritance, talent training, and industrial development. This research can provide practical reference for teaching reform of design majors in ethnic regions and innovative inheritance of regional ICH resources.Digital empowerment,Northern Xinjiang intangible cultural heritage,Modern design major,Curriculum system reconstruction,Cultural and creative industry
