Abstract

Modernized inheritance of ethnic folk sports is not only fundamental to the continuation of the life of ethnic folk sports, but also the key to respond to the construction of the modernization road with Chinese characteristics. In order to explore the transformation mechanism of the inheritance of ethnic folk sports, a field investigation was conducted on the bench dragon of Lishan Lake based on Karl Marx^s modernization theory, and the modernization transformation factors and paths in its inheritance and development were interpreted from three levels: material form, organizational form and exhibition space. The study concludes that the expansion of the scope of participants, the standardization of the performance apparatus, and the publicization of the economic operation method constitute the modernization of the material form- the cultivation of the public nature of the village rules and regulations, the inheritance and transcendence of the village elite, and the reproduction of the ritual symbols reflect the modernization of the organizational form- in the three different modernized performance spaces of the path, factory, and square, the triple social functions of community identity, collective identity, and national identity are shaped. In the three different modernized exhibition spaces of the path, factory and square, the triple social functions of community identity, collective identity and national identity are shaped.
