Abstract: Chinese traditional crafts represent an important cultural heritage. However, with the advancement of modernization, the inheritance of these crafts has encountered challenges such as a talent gap and the loss of craft carriers. Therefore, this study explores an innovative model integrating the Chinese-style apprenticeship system with digital teaching resources, with the aim of promoting the effective inheritance and innovative development of traditional crafts through vocational education. The study employed case analysis, in-depth interviews, and other research methods to thoroughly examine the implementation pathways and development directions of traditional craft inheritance. The research revealed that innovations within the Chinese-style apprenticeship system, such as the establishment of coherent educational systems, dual identity recognition, curriculum framework development, and teaching content enhancement, significantly improved students' comprehension of traditional craft theories and their mastery of vocational skills. Furthermore, with the support of digital teaching resources, students were immersed in interactive learning environments, which fostered deep and active learning experiences, enabling both the critical inheritance and derivative creation of traditional crafts. The conclusion drawn from this study suggests that the integration of the Chinese-style apprenticeship system with digital teaching resources possesses broad applicability and offers valuable insights for the teaching reform of modern vocational education. Future research may further explore the applicability of this model in other cultural heritage inheritance domains and investigate how generative AI technology can be utilized to facilitate the timely inheritance of traditional crafts.
