Abstract: Village women are considered the major forces of the revival of traditional national sports in contemporary Xiangxi area, and women's sports participation is derived either from the awakening from their subject consciousness or the short visual instrumental rational behavior.Through the study of the achievements of the predecessors, combined the field work and historical documents comparison, it is held that the traditional sports in which ethnic minority village women actively participate are those they have the right to participate in since ancient times.At present, they do it subjectively from social needs; or from village administration support objectively.They are keen to participate in exhibition activities in public spaces and try to achieve their identity through traditional sports behavior in cultural integration.The cultural consciousness of female elites plays a decisive role in the revival of representative sports, but the gender structure of male-dominated society restricts the initiative of female participants.The revival of traditional sports led by the government provides more opportunities for women, while excessive dominance can easily hurt their self-consciousness.
