Reconstruct the Differential Mode of Association: An Ethnography of Changes in Traditional Martial Arts Organizational RelationsBased on the Practice of Taoyuan County of Southern Fujian from 1978 to 2022

At present, the cognition of traditional martial arts organizations in all walks of life is often limited by stereotypes such as "sect views" or "sect disputes", no hints of the rich and varied empirical facts and internal logic in the interaction of organizations under the background of social transformation. Through the ethnographic narrative of the development of traditional martial arts organizations in Taoyuan County (pseudonym) in southern Fujian for more than 40 years, it is found that their relationship forms have undergone the gradual transformation of "fighting separately" →"horizontal union" → "vertical stratification", which implies the selective reconstruction of "ethical differential mode of association" → "market-oriented differential mode of association" → "power-oriented differential mode of association" in its deep logic. By taking time as the longitude and narrative as the altitude, the logic of the relationship changes is revealed, providing enlightenment for optimizing social governance of traditional martial arts organizations. That is, martial arts associations need to balance the relationship between all parties to maintain the harmony of organizational relations; sports administrative departments should watch the "combination of release and management" to avoid conflicts in organizational relations caused by disorderly management. And, all governance entities can jointly promote their harmonious development through the combination of etiquette cultivation and rule of law.
