In recent years, the concept of cultural confidence has become a driving force for the development of traditional culture in China. Chinese folk music is one important kind of intangible cultural heritage, it has many historical memories and local features. This paper is about protecting and handing down Chinese folk music in terms of cultural confidence. Using literature review and qualitative research methods, it studies the current situation, problems and development path of folk music inheritance. From the result we know that even though there is more policy and public knowledge, there are still problems like inheritor loss, not enough modern media interaction, few dissemination ways. Cultural confidence can make people more confident to be themselves, promote creative thinking, and improve the sustainability of folk music. And we can conclude that to protect and inherit the folk music well we need to develop education, digital technology and cultural policies together.
