澳門非物質文化遺產發展的系統回顧：歷史視角、當前研究及未來方向

This article systematically reviews the current state of research on intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Macao. It begins with an overview of the historical evolution of ICH concepts and practices globally and within China. An examination of Macao’s cultural landscape and the government’s efforts to preserve various ICH expressions through legislation, lists, and initiatives is then provided. An extensive survey of existing academic literature on Macao’s ICH reveals the research themes, methodologies, and distributions across different heritage items. Key challenges such as limited international scope and research gaps are identified. The article proposes future research directions like expanding collaboration, prioritizing fieldwork with practitioners, emphasizing relationship and power dynamics, and adopting participatory methods. The systematic analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Macao’s ICH development and identify pathways for future research to ensure the sustainable safeguarding of its rich cultural traditions.
