Abstract: The culture of the former Yellow River course in Heze is an integral part of the Yellow River culture, having nurtured a wealth of historical and cultural heritages as well as a unique spiritual culture. In the context of promoting the implementation of the strategy for ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, it focuses on the cultural resources along the former Yellow River course in Heze. By systematically cataloging both the tangible and intangible cultural legacies of this region, it conducts an in-depth analysis of the current status and existing challenges in the development and utilization of these cultural resources. Consequently, it proposes the establishment of a policy-oriented, diversified cooperative development mechanism. Suggestions include delving deeper into the cultural connotations of the former Yellow River course, innovating cultural dissemination methods through the integration of multiple media platforms, and effectively presenting the "stories of the former Yellow River course". These measures aim to foster the innovative development and efficient utilization of cultural resources along the former Yellow River course, establish Heze as a new hub for Yellow River culture, and infuse cultural impetus into the ecological conservation and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
