Abstract

This paper employs literature review, field research, case study analysis, and comparative analysis to explore the value, challenges, and practical strategies of fostering a sense of community for the Chinese Nation through traditional ethnic sports in the Dayaoshan region. The findings reveal: Functional value includes the "heart-nourishing" effect of cultural identity, the "soul-forging" role of community emotions, and the linkage between social capital and rural revitalization. Challenges include insufficient resource investment, a talent inheritance gap, homogenization and commercialization impacts, and a lack of dissemination channels. Practical pathways involve improving institutional guarantees, strengthening talent cultivation, integrating modern technology, and constructing collaborative platforms.
