Abstract
The living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage（ICH）has always been a research hotspot, and tourism is considered an important means of living inheritance of ICH. Taking Sichuan Province as an example, this paper analyses the spatial differences in ICH and its dislocation relationship with tourism development by using research methods such as nuclear density, resource superiority, the gravity model and the spatial dislocation index. The results show that from 2006 to 2020, the spatial agglomeration characteristics of ICH distribution were prominent, and the spatial distribution characteristics developed from "two-core multipoint" to "five-core multipoint". The differences in ICH dominance among cities and states decreased annually, the change trend of ICH dominance tended to flatten, and the equilibrium characteristics gradually became prominent. The space dislocation of the ICH centre of gravity, the tourism development centre of gravity and the geometric centre of gravity gradually shrank. The middle and high dislocation pattern of the "C" font between ICH and tourism development gradually formed. A region needs to combine local characteristics, constantly explore new paths to combine ICH and tourism development, and realize the benign interaction between ICH and tourism dynamic development.
