ABSTRACT
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese state paid more attention to the development of sports, and Chinese sports began to gradually recover and develop. The history and culture of Chinese sports is also a hot topic for Western scholarship. Analysis has revealed that publications by Western scholars on Chinese sports research over the last 20 years have focused on China's sports system, China's sports history and culture, Chinese ethnic and traditional sports, and the Olympic movement in China, especially on issues related to the Beijing Olympic Games. Ethnic sports and traditional sports are unique sports in China. With their unique characteristics, they have attracted the love of many Western people. After Beijing's successful bid to host the Olympic Games and successful hosting of the Games, Western scholars have paid more attention to China's Olympic movement.
