It is the traditional art based on the high artistic and realistic nature, and combining music, dance, gymnastics, acrobatics, martial arts and others. This paper mainly uses the anthropology methods, such as field investigation, and participant observation, shows the "body symbol" of Qiang sacrificial dance and sports original ecology, and studies Qiang "dragon dance" and its cultural foundation and human environment, to explore its cultural origin and inheritance path, and provide a reference for the rescue, protection and inheritance of Qiang sports culture to meet the needs of contemporary social development.
