ABSTRACT

As China pays more attention to the development of Chinese culture and traditions, people are being introduced with an increasing number of China’s ethnic sports. Higher educational institutes play a critical role in cultivating young talents, and thus they should continually emphasize the inheritance and development of national traditional Ethnic sports in physical education. This paper leverages literature review and other methods to investigate the current landscape of Chinese ethnic sports and emphasize the necessity of promoting traditional culture in education. It also suggests that higher educational institutes should customize the sports curriculum and transform teaching methods, so that the values and characters of ethnic sports will be highlighted, and the ethnic sport itself can be better developed in the future.
