The research samples are six rock painting sites located in the Heishan area of Jiayuguan, Gansu Province, China, classified based on their content. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and content analysis, which involved literature analysis, field surveys, high-definition photo collection, and interviews with rock art researchers, managers, and other professionals. The results are as follows: 1. Petroglyphs are divided into six categories including human figures, animals, dance (rituals), hunting, religion, fonts, and plants. They depict the local people's daily life, spiritual beliefs, and ecological environment at different periods. The rock paintings hold significant cultural and historical value, reflecting ancient narratives, artistic expressions, and the relationship between humans and nature. However, they also face challenges such as natural erosion, human destruction, and insufficient protection. 2.
