As the condensed carrier of the core elements of intangible cultural heritage, the digital preservation and visual presentation of intangible cultural heritage symbols are the core paths for the dynamic inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the digital age. This article defines the concept and core cultural attributes of intangible cultural heritage symbols, explains the value of digital means for the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the era; from three dimensions of resource quality standards, visual translation accuracy, and resource circulation and activation, it systematically sorts out the prominent problems existing in the current digital practice of intangible cultural heritage symbols, and analyzes the causes and impacts of the problems based on local practical cases; targeted solutions such as "unified collection and storage standards, establishing a cultural review mechanism, and building an open and shared platform" are proposed to provide practical references for solving the predicament of "overemphasizing preservation but underemphasizing application" and "overemphasizing form but underemphasizing content" in the digitalization of intangible cultural heritage.
