Abstract:
Based on the special moral and ethical system of Chinese rural society and the investigation of the dragon boat race in the border towns, the logic of folk sports in shaping the identity of "family-state integration" is discussed. The research holds that "home" culture plays an important role in the operation of rural folk sports, which is manifested in the fact that "home" is the root and end of individual participation in folk sports, villagers realize the transformation of individual emotion to collective emotion in the ritual practice of folk sports, and the moral and ethical regulations derived from "home" culture is the basis of social relation order followed by local folk sports governance.The formation of villagers' identity of "family-state integration" is mainly shaped by the sharing and interaction of folk sports culture symbols, the expression of national will in folk sports activities as well as the emotional connection and sublimation in folk sports exhibition field. It is concluded that the "informal system" followed by the local folk sports activities runs in the same direction as the "formal system" of the state, therefore, the state should pay attention to the social mobilization and moral education functions of folk sports activities, actively guide the villagers to build up the "cultural consciousness" of folk sports from inside out.
