Abstract

This paper takes the inheritance and development of traditional sports of the Bai nationality in Dali as the research object. It uses the method of literature material, questionnaire survey, mathematical statistics, and on-site interviews to investigate and analyze the inheritance and development of the traditional sports of the Bai nationality. It can be concluded that among the traditional sports of the Bai nationality, the representative sports such as tug-of-war, spinning top, and fire dragon dance are with strong ethnic characteristics. The traditional sports of the Bai nationality are highly technical and rich in form, and are an important part of the Bai culture. However, the development of different events is uneven. Some events are facing the crisis of extinction. The Bai people participate in traditional sports frequently. Among them, the number of males participating in traditional sports is slightly more than that of females. The main factors affecting the inheritance and development of the traditional sports are: economic backwardness, insufficient government attention, lack of national professional talents and lack of innovative consciousness.
