Innovative exploration of transmission and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage plays a key role in national development, international exchange, and sustainable social development. This review presents the current state of digital preservation in China in the field of intangible cultural heritage based on contemporary approaches via study and development of interactive digital resources such as shadow puppets. Using design-based research, quasi-experimental methods, and literature review, this study provides an understanding of the current status of the development and preservation of intangible cultural heritage. Three different versions of shadow puppet interactive digital resources are presented using storyline software. Subjects learned best when viewing the global-no-catalog type of interactive resources, moderately well when viewing the left-right layout type, and the least when viewing the top-down layout.
