    Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] The university library serves as a crucial carrier for the practice of " creative transformation and innovative development" of China’s outstanding traditional culture. By systematically demonstrating the advantages, achievements, and shortcomings of ICH inheritance in university libraries, and proposing new inheritance pathways, this study can provide valuable references for enhancing the innovative preservation of ICH within academic library systems. [Method/Process]Through a necessity analysis of ICH inheritance in universities and a digital humanities examination of case studies from Double First-Class universities libraries, this study proposes new practical pathways for ICH preservation from three dimensions: narrative construction, contextual scenarios, and innovative paradigms. [Result/Conclusion] Faced with the challenges of singular narrative approaches, increasingly rigid contextual scenarios, and relatively monotonous paradigms in ICH inheritance within university libraries, this paper argues that academic libraries can achieve innovative breakthroughs through three dimensions:(1)Narrative Transformation: By opening and expanding narrative pathways, integrating "folk-custom narratives" through contextual transitions, and enabling transformative shifts in narrative content.(2)Contextual Reinvention: Through the evolution of digital virtual environments, the extension of localized cultural spaces, and the elevation of aesthetic dimensions in heritage transmission settings.(3)Paradigmatic Restructuring: By upgrading the depth of resource development, reorienting service innovation strategies, and optimizing governance pathways within educational ecosystems. This tripartite framework aims to revitalize ICH inheritance practices in university libraries through multidimensional innovation.
