The low degree of recognition and the vague recognition of cultural value and connotation have limited the inheritance and protection of the Yiwulv Mountain Manchu paper-cut. Finally, combined with the integration of digital media technology and art, the application of 3D Animation in the inheritance and protection of the Yiwulv Mountain Manchu paper-cut is used to solve the problems in its inheritance and protection.
