Keeping a foothold on the social responsibilities of national sports mainly conveys its connotations in two respects: first, the national spirits and national characters of traditional sports determine its development to inherit traditional culture;〔3〕second, national sentiment reveals that traditional sports possesses the historical responsibilities to help improve social development. From these two aspects, it is summarized that traditional Chinese sports gives a comprehensive expression of the cultural thoughts, social humanity and many other respects in “sports” with respect to the inheritance and development of traditional culture.

Taking regional folk culture and customs as an important joint point combined with the general laws of the development of traditional Chinese sports culture and conducting targeted and systematic exploration on the constituting elements of traditional sports culture can enable traditional Chinese sports culture to base itself on the general characteristics of the development of regional folklore to effectively excavate the national elements in traditional sports culture. By this means, as for the constituting elements of traditional Chinese sports culture, the all-round realization of its diversified development goal could be guaranteed, providing a favorable entry point for further exploration about traditional Chinese sports culture.〔4〕In light of this, to comprehensively understand regional folk culture and customs and effectively develop the traditional cultural value they reflect become a key point for the Goal of building diversified symbiosis of traditional sports culture.

This is the core element for conducting in-depth exploration for traditional Chinese sports culture at an essential level, from which the in-depth expression of the social meaning and social value richly existing in traditional sports culture can continuously provide new driving forces for the innovative development of traditional sports culture. In virtue of the development status of regional social humanity, the emphases of traditional sports culture construction can also conduct effective transformation, making the all-round development of social humanity a new direction of construction.
