Abstract: With the development of the new media era, female participation in intangible cultural heritage inheritance faces special opportunities and challenges.Through reviewing the literature of female participation in traditional dance of Chinese intangible cultural heritage at home and abroad,and combining with the current research situation of inheritance in the new media era, we can see that although some achievements have been made, there are still some deficiencies.In the new media era, female participation in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage should not only give full play to women's unique advantages in the network social platform,but also focus on the interpretation of the cultural spirit of intangible cultural heritage dance through individual experience in the interactive process,improve their gender awareness and seek real gender equality in virtual space and real space.
