Through literature review, case analysis and empirical research, it systematically examines the historical origins, core values, cultural significance and multidimensional impact of this ethos on national sporting development. Findings reveal that the Chinese sporting ethos not only provides clear value guidance for national development at the policy level but also consolidates formidable social cohesion at the societal level. It motivates athletes' competitive drive at the sporting level while enhancing the international influence of Chinese sport at the cultural level. The findings offer fresh perspectives on understanding the role of sporting ethos in national development, providing crucial theoretical and practical guidance for building a sporting powerhouse.
