The Role, Mechanism, and Practical Paths of Ethnic Traditional Sports in the Process of Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind (A Case Study of China)

Ethnic traditional sports (ESP) have been identified as an important tool for achieving the concept of “A community of Shared Future for Mankind (CSFM). This highlights the need to understand the role of ESP in the process of achieving CSFM and ways it can be effectively utilized. Although Previous studies have explored the roles, mechanisms, and practical paths of ethnic traditional sports in the process of building a community of shared future for mankind, none of them have been able to provide specific means or steps by which these traditional sports can help in the process of building a community of shared future for mankind. This study employed the PRISMA protocol for systematic reviews. From an initial pool of 4,637articles identified using a Boolean search term across three commonly used search engines (Web of Science, Emerald, and Science Direct), A total of five (5) papers were chosen for final inclusion in accordance with PRISMA requirements. These papers were used to synthesize the study's final results. The results of this study identify the roles of ethnic traditional sports in the process of building a shared future for mankind, and it also proposes a specific mechanism and practical paths by which the role of ethnic traditional sports in the process of CSFM can be materialized. The findings of this study are essential for the integration of ethnic traditional sports in the process of CSFM
