Abstract

This paper explores the feasibility and practical pathways of integrating university labor practice courses with the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) art of pressed flower painting through the case study of the "Flowers as a Medium" project at Suqian University. By analyzing the achievements of pressed flower art in technological innovation, artistic creation, aesthetic education promotion, and industrial application, the study demonstrates the multifaceted value of incorporating ICH into labor education. The findings reveal that this integration not only enhances students' vocational skills and aesthetic literacy but also facilitates the living transmission of intangible cultural heritage, while providing new perspectives for cultural and creative industry development in the context of rural revitalization. From the dimensions of curriculum design, practice models, and achievement transformation, this paper proposes concrete recommendations, offering both theoretical references and practical exemplars for the synergistic development of higher education labor practices and ICH preservation.
