Connotation of National Traditional Sports

As an important part of national culture, national traditional sports is a kind of national traditional culture with independent cultural form, solitary history and rich cultural connotation. Its connotation is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First of all, the formation of national traditional sports is the product of a specific historical period. It is not only the result of human's own practical activities, but also deeply influenced by traditional customs, traditional morality, traditional education and other related traditional cultural forms in its development and formation.

Secondly, it is precisely because of its own "nationality" and "tradition" that national traditional sports become a special form of sports activities. This is a physical training centered on competition and a psychological reproduction centered on expressing emotions. However, these two ways of value expression often exist in the same sports behavior, which has become an important basis for the existence of national traditional sports as a cultural form.

Thirdly, as a comprehensive form of national culture, national traditional sports has always been closely related to other cultural systems in the surrounding environment and has become a cultural open system that freely exchanges materials and information with the outside world. This not only provides conditions for traditional national sports with different sports modes and characteristics to be displayed to the world, but also lays a foundation for different forms of traditional national sports to draw "nutrition" from different ethnic groups and modern sports.
