By analyzing the status quo of protecting the intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities in China, we explain the protection methods of digital technology and the advantages of virtual reality technology in this paper. The typical intangible cultural heritage project of the Autumn Festival in West Hunan is taken as an example, and a digital protection solution based on virtual reality technology is proposed.  a17426588 (ISSN)
