Ethnic Hequ Errentai is a type of traditional folk art in China, with rich historical and cultural heritage and ethnic emotions. With the acceleration of modernization, the protection and inheritance issues faced by the ethnic Hequ Errentai are becoming increasingly prominent. This paper explores the role and value of the ethnic Hequ Errentai in the protection of intangible cultural heritage through the review and analysis of relevant literature. Research has shown that the Errentai in the ethnic Hequ area plays an important role and value in the protection of intangible cultural heritage, including promoting ethnic culture, inheriting historical memories, and enhancing cultural confidence. Therefore, efforts should be made to increase the protection of the ethnic Hequ Errentai, promote its innovative development, and promote the prosperity and development of traditional Chinese culture.
