This paper is to explore and summarize a more scientific digital protection and development approach of Shanxi paper-cut art. Taking Shanxi paper-cut art as the center, this paper holistically and comprehensively summarizes the characteristics and development status of Shanxi paper-cutting from a theoretical perspective and points out the necessity and realistic significance to the digital protection, and then delves into practice to discuss the digital protection and development of Shanxi paper-cutting art from the perspectives of propaganda innovation, interactive experience, information base construction and professional talent training. Finally, it summarizes the broad space and more possibilities for future development, so as to create more greater space for later related research and practice innovation. Digital protection and development is an effective way to innovate and develop Shanxi paper-cut art, and it is also a scientific direction worthy of deeper excavation and integration. Doing such systematic work can not only make up for a lack of traditional protection work reality, improve the actual effectiveness of protection work, but also further disseminate and promote Shanxi paper-cut art with the help of advanced means, so that this art form can last forever and blossom into a dazzling light.
