Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Northwest Guizhou is a multi-ethnic settlement with a rich tradition of sports, unique in its functionality and cultural significance. However, the field survey revealed that the traditional sports of ethnic minorities in Northwest Guizhou currently face several challenges, including a decline in motivation, evidenced by a diminution in inheritance consciousness, inadequate reserve talents, primarily due to a shortage of instructors, a single form of publicity that hinders external dissemination, and the intense competition from modern sports, which has led to a diminution in enthusiasm for participation. In order to meet the opportunities of the new era and the new cultural mission, specific high-quality development strategies are proposed. Firstly, education and guidance are to be made the centre to stimulate the inheritance of vitality. Secondly, teachers are to be made the centre to strengthen the construction of reserve talents. Thirdly, diversified publicity platforms are to be made the core to expand the influence. Finally, content-based, with the modern initiative, is to be used to enhance the competitive nature of the convergence.
