%X This paper aims to identify how constructivist education contributes to cultural preservation and educational promotion, particularly its influence on preserving Zhusuan culture. Grounded in the theory of constructivism, this study employed field research to examine the world’s largest abacus museum and assess the current status of museum education. The findings of this study indicate that the Chinese Abacus Museum (CAM) serves various roles in preserving and promoting intangible cultural heritage, focusing primarily on preservation, public orientation, and social education. These components are closely related, forming a comprehensive educational system. This interconnection and collaboration enable the constructivist education at the CAM to comprehensively and effectively fulfill its educational and cultural preservation mission.
