Features: The book is first and foremost comprehensive and complete, covering the main sports categories and projects of the Zhuang ethnic group. A significant feature of the book is its in-depth exploration of Zhuang traditional sports from a cultural perspective. It begins with the multi-source structure of the origins of these projects, revealing that the emergence of such traditional sports activities is a result of a comprehensive effect of multiple factors, including the ethnic group's living environment, production methods, lifestyles, ethnic customs, and interethnic interactions. The depth of the book lies in its summarization of the main characteristics of Zhuang sports. Of course, we cannot expect a single book to exhaustively present all Zhuang traditional sports in a comprehensive manner. It is also impossible to perfectly organize, classify, and arrange each project, as this is inherently challenging. Some projects are particularly difficult to classify using modern sports categorization methods. The exploration of the cultural connotations of Zhuang traditional sports is even more complex and cannot be achieved overnight.
