Showcasing the charm of ethnic sports and promoting the integration of ethnic cultures. The 12th National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games will be held in Sanya, Hainan in November this year. At a recent symposium, representatives from various regions exchanged and discussed ideas on "better leveraging the role of traditional sports of ethnic minorities to promote the construction of a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation.". [Enhancing Chinese Cultural Identity] As an important part of China's excellent traditional culture, traditional sports of ethnic minorities contain the spiritual connotation of common participation, inheritance and development of all ethnic groups. It is an important carrier to promote the construction of the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. Firecracker grabbing reflects the happy harvest of the Dong, Zhuang and other ethnic groups in southwest China, the high foot race reflects the life wisdom of the Tujia, Miao and other ethnic groups, the fight shows the quality of Mongolian dare to challenge, the dragon boat and martial arts interpret the Chinese sports spirit shared by all ethnic groups... "These projects come from the production, life and festival activities of all ethnic groups, and condense the historical and cultural memory of the Chinese nation." De Cuo, deputy director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Qinghai Province, said that athletes of all ethnic groups deepen understanding and enhance recognition in exchanges, and constantly enrich the connotation of the Chinese nation's common spiritual home. As the earliest national comprehensive sports meet held in China, from the first edition in 1953 to present, the number of participants has increased from nearly 400 from 13 ethnic groups such as Han, Mongolian, and Hui to nearly 10000 from 56 ethnic groups. The number of competition and performance events has increased from 5 and 3 to 18 and 160 respectively. The National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Meet has always been an important platform for athletes of all ethnic groups to communicate, exchange, and blend, witnessing and promoting the great unity of the Chinese nation, and has also become a stage for the brilliance of Chinese culture. At this Games, ethnic style wrestling alone includes six wrestling styles, including Mongolian, Uyghur, and Yi, to promote cultural exchange and display among different ethnic groups; In just a few minutes, ethnic fitness exercises have integrated the dance of more than 20 ethnic groups and the cultural elements of Beijing opera... "The grand gathering and display of various ethnic cultures will make people feel the diversity of Chinese culture firsthand." Guo Ruijiang, Deputy Director of the Henan Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission, said that each is beautiful, beautiful, and together, we will build a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, traditional ethnic sports, known as the "living fossil" of ethnic culture, were valued and protected. Among the thousands of traditional sports projects excavated and sorted out nationwide, more than 700 came from ethnic minorities. Pearl Ball, which was originally lost, was discovered, organized, and regulated by a large number of scholars. It made its debut at the National Minority Traditional Sports Games and became an official competition event. In 2008, it was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. By regularly hosting sports events, one endangered cultural heritage after another is revitalized, and more and more traditional ethnic sports are venturing out of deep mountains, rainforests, grasslands, and towards the world. At the same time, various regions are deeply exploring traditional sports and cultural resources in their respective regions, so that more projects can receive attention and protection, and be passed down through sports events. In Yunnan, the implementation of the project to protect and inherit excellent traditional ethnic culture has supported the protection and inheritance of 30 traditional sports of ethnic minorities, including gyroscopes, crossbows, and swings
