          The protection of digital cultural heritage in China from 2020 has also been issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to promote the high-quality development of the digital cultural industry. There are many applications of digital twin technology, and in recent years, it has also played an important role in the sustainable development of World cultural heritage in rural China.This study aims to explore the sustainability factor of digital twin technology for rural cultural heritage in China. Quantitative research methods were used for validation in this study. Based on theoretical models of socio-technical systems, this study constructs a theoretical model of the influence of digital twin technology and China's rural cultural heritage. This model is used to explore the impact relationship between the six independent variables and the three sustainability-dependent variables. The study sample was selected from university students aged 18-28 in Chengdu, Kunming, and Nanchang provinces of China, and 1200 questionnaires were distributed. Data analysis and statistics were mainly carried out using the statistical analysis software SPSS. A confirmation factor analysis was performed on the model using the AMOS software. Assumptions and model validity are evaluated in the study.
          The results show that: (1) It is found that the application of digital twin technology in China's rural world cultural heritage can be summarized into the following six indicators: digital culture and tourism, digital communication, digital archives, digital copyright, digital education, and digital management. (2) These six indicators have a positive impact on promoting the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of China's rural cultural heritage.
