Abstract

Masks, as a cultural phenomenon, are both ordinary and unique in human life, with a long history found in almost every corner of the world. The emergence of Xinlong medicine mud-hidden mask is deeply connected to the lives and spiritual beliefs of the original inhabitants. In 2009, the production technique of Xinlong medicine mud-hidden mask was recognized as a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage project in Sichuan Province. However, due to the intricate craftsmanship involved and the difficulty in passing down the skills, this cultural heritage was once on the brink of extinction. This article conducts research through a combination of literature review and field investigation to explore the origins, transmission methods, characteristics, and challenges faced in the transmission of Xinlong medicine mud-hidden mask. It reveals that the complexity of the production process, geographical limitations, and inadequate income for artisans have become the primary factors hindering the inheritance and development of this cultural heritage.
