Abstract
This study investigates the similarities and differences in the factors influencing folk sports inheritance in China and South Korea, providing a theoretical foundation for fostering bilateral learning and collaboration in this field. The research employs a five-dimensional framework—Inheritance Subject, Inheritance Object, Inheritance Intermediary, Inheritance Environment, and Inheritance Effect—comprising 32 observed variables. Surveys were conducted among 336 Chinese and 331 Korean folk sports participants, organizers, and researchers, with data analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. The findings indicate a consistent influence of these dimensions on folk sports inheritance in both countries. Specifically, the Inheritance Object, Inheritance Intermediary, and Inheritance Environment positively affect the Inheritance Subject, which, in turn, directly enhances the Inheritance Effect.…
