Abstract: The Grand Canal, a world cultural heritage site, carries profound historical and cultural values, yet its cultural narrative faces persistent challenges of fragmentation, difficult inheritance, and insufficient immersive expression. Digital twin technology offers a new pathway for heritage preservation, while wavelet multiresolution analysis shows advantages in multi-scale data processing. To address the inefficient integration between cultural narrative expression and digital twin modeling, this study proposes a wavelet-based multiresolution framework for immersive narrative decomposition and reconstruction. First, the cultural narrative elements of the Grand Canal are systematically decomposed into multi-scale narrative units—macro-historical context, meso-cultural scenes, and micro-cultural details—based on wavelet multiresolution analysis. Then, a digital twin model integrating 3D geometry, sensor data, and historical documentation is constructed, and the multi-scale narrative units are mapped onto its corresponding levels. Finally, immersive reconstruction is realized through virtual reality technology, and the framework is validated on the Yangzhou Section of the Grand Canal. Evaluation results show mean scores above 8.0 on a 10-point scale across immersion, authenticity, logicality, and operability, confirming the framework's effectiveness in enhancing narrative coherence and user engagement. This study extends wavelet analysis from signal processing to narrative structuring, reconceptualizes the digital twin as a narrative-carrying medium, and offers a replicable pathway for the immersive transmission of linear cultural heritage.
