The purpose of this study is to explore the cultural, artistic and social value of the Longwang Temple murals in Yu County, and to analyze their importance in folk culture, artistic innovation and cultural heritage protection. Through in-depth research on the historical background, artistic style and community activities of the murals, it is found that the murals are not only artistic works of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also important carriers of local folk beliefs and cultural inheritance. The study shows that mural paintings face challenges of protection and inheritance in the process of modernization, and at the same time provide opportunities for the development of local economy and cultural tourism. Through interviews with local cultural relic protectors, art students and community residents, this paper aims to put forward practical suggestions for the protection and inheritance of murals in Yu County, so as to promote the revival and development of local culture.
