Abstract: In the age of digital survival, media and real life have formed a relationship of mutual reflection and mutual generation, and
people as the subject are increasingly digitized. Since being included in the national intangible cultural heritage project in 2008, the
popularity and influence of Nanjian dish-serving dance have been increasing. As the inheriting body of dancing skills, dance artists
have become the key practitioners of the dissemination of this culture. From the original live performance in rural villages to the current
live broadcast on Kuaishou, Wechat and other network platforms, the way they display the dance has become digital. In this double
space practice process of virtual and reality, the artists have become "digital people", and the dance has entered the era of "digital
survival". In this process, the enthusiastic expression, positive response and active adaptation of the artists to the digital era are all
worthy of deep thought.

Key words: digital survival, intangible cultural heritage, Nanjian dish-serving dance
