Abstract

For up to five thousand years, Chinese culture has flowed along the long river of history. It has extensive knowledge and tactics in cultural inheritance. Among these, the Chinese nation's traditional sports culture, as an essential component of Chinese civilization, possesses rich cultural implications and profound cultural history. In the process of education and inheritance, it provides new development opportunities for national traditional sports culture. Especially regarded as the primary arena for nurturing national talent, universities assume a pivotal role in the education and inheritance of traditional sports culture in China. This paper comprehensively examines the importance and value of incorporating traditional sports culture elements into the physical education curriculum at universities. This paper conceptualized that the physical education courses in universities should be innovated by combining traditional national sports projects with local characteristics and improving the physical education teaching concepts in colleges and universities through cultural inheritance and innovation, which can not only enrich the curriculum resources but also enhance the students' cultural confidence and then inherit the national sports culture. Additionally, this paper scrutinized various forms and strategies of integration, which contributed to novel concepts for the advancement of physical education curricula in higher education institutions.
