      ab: The rapid development of Chinese Internet platforms over the past few years has created a highly accessible cultural environment for the dissemination and development of feminist thought. Nüshu, as a culturally significant expression with distinct gender characteristics, is increasingly linked to women's and feminist discourse on the Internet, leading to the emergence of a group of platform-based feminist heritage activists. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in explaining the complex dynamics among digital platforms, the use of intangible heritage, and feminist dissemination and activism. Through qualitative research methods based on digital ethnography and interviews, the findings suggest that platform feminist politics shapes the organisational strategies of heritage activists with three main strategies, namely narrative, collective, and actional strategies. The study also demonstrates the liaisons and dynamics between platform feminism and heritage use, covering three key dimensions: the utilisation of elitist literary and academic materials, the (use of) body politics of Nüshu, and related creative development and commercialisation. The study argues platform politics signifies the visibility of feminist activism. For women's communities on platforms, heritage may imply an enhancement of legitimacy.
