[Purpose/Significance] The transformation of production and lifestyle brought about by the digital intelligence era requires the comprehensive improvement of citizens’ digital literacy. The construction of the national digital literacy framework aims to enhance the overall quality of citizens. [Method/Process] Guided by the Action Plan for Enhancing National Digital Literacy and Skills, this paper constructed a framework of the China’s national digital literacy in the digital intelligence era. It included 6 primary indicators such as digital ethics, connection, social interaction, consumption, production, and decision-making, as well as 24 secondary indicators. 2719 participants were selected for empirical research. [Result/Conclusion] The research results indicate that the overall digital literacy level of Chinese citizens is relatively good. However, there are also issues such as insufficient digital connection and digital production capabilities, inadequate emphasis on digital literacy education in universities, significant performance differences across different age groups, the persistent challenge of urban-rural disparities, inadequate adaptability of digital literacy development strategies, and the lack of a comprehensive digital literacy training system at the social level. In this regard, the research proposes to strengthen the supervision of digital consumption behavior and positive guidance for digital production, continuously expand the digital literacy education function of universities, foster a harmonious, positive digital culture and a green, healthy online environment across all dimensions, consolidate the foundation of digital literacy education in rural and remote areas, formulate local digital literacy development strategic plans, and enhance cooperation among all sectors of society in fostering digital literacy.
