Abstract

The study and analysis of ―space‖ in intangible cultural heritage can better safeguard intangible cultural heritage from a practical perspective. This paper explains the cultural interaction between space and people through a study of space material, people’s main activities and perception in an intangible cultural heritage in Northwest China. Humans have the characteristics of subjective construction of space and space has obvious changing effects on human consciousness and physical response. As an important feature of space, opening and closing have the dialectical relationship and tension in the binary contradiction. To pay attention to the space of intangible cultural heritage, it is necessary to pay attention to the interaction between space and people, as well as the cultural ecological space that includes the life practice of cultural subjects
