Abstract

In contemporary times, cultural heritage research places a growing emphasis on understanding the intrinsic cultural qualities of heritage, with the comprehension of its value becoming a core focus，and the attribute analysis of cultural heritage is an important basis for studying the value of cultural heritage. The Tang-Tubo Ancient Road, a vital segment of the southern Silk Road, has historically served as a bridge for interethnic interaction, economic exchange, and cross-cultural integration. This study applies a literature-based research approach, focusing on the evolution of the "cultural route" concept and its criteria for attribute identification. It examines the nature of the Tang-Tubo Ancient Road as a cultural route from three perspectives: temporal-spatial attributes, cross-cultural attributes, and functional attributes.
