This study aims to break through the limitations of the individual-based paradigm in industrial heritage protection, construct a theoretical framework for the industrial heritage corridor in the Hexi Corridor, and reveal its inherent value as a dynamic historical stratum. By integrating the spatial systematicity of heritage corridors with the temporal depth of layered landscapes, it proposes the "Dual-Core Driven, Four-Step Progressive, Three-Axis Supported" model, innovatively integrating the three dimensions of function, space, and meaning into an organic whole. The core lies in explaining the dynamic interaction mechanism of temporal layering, functional layering, and meaning layering, rather than simple superposition. Through layered narrative reconstruction technology, this framework transforms isolated relics such as the Laojunmiao Oil Mine in Yumen City, Gansu Province (Laojunmiao Oil Mine), and Jiuquan Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. (JISCO) into a thematic narrative network, realizing the organic integration of historical depth and contemporary significance. It defines industrial heritage as "a vessel for the flow of cultural meanings," promoting a paradigm shift in industrial heritage from static specimens to dynamic memory ecosystems within civilization.
