Abstract: In this paper, we discussed in depth the relationships between Naxi Dongba knife dance, agold medal winning game at National Minority Games, and Wushu routine based on the macro perspective that body movements could enrich and promote the cultural development of primitive religion while the cultural development of primitive religion could inherit, preserve and promote the development of primitive sports, and using specific methods and theories of physical anthropology.Supported by methods of video recordings of action sports and screenshots of physical anthropology, we made use of empirical research by two-way actions:forward and backward actions.Analysis of forward actions follows a combination of typical actions of knife dance from Dongba ritual dance to a combination of standard actions of broadsword, while that of backward actions follows a combination of standard actions of broadsword to a combination of typical actions of knife dance from Dongba ritual dance.During empirical processes, we invited HE Li-min, a Dongba Grand Master, to perform Dongba knife dance and XU Jun-ju, a knight at first national level, to perform standard actions of broadsword.Based on the comparative analysis between previous literature and field survey data we finally confirmed our main theoretical assumptions:Dongba knife dance, aprimitive ritual dance with the nature of witchcraft, absorbed, organized and inherited the remainders of the primitive Wushu actions.At the same time, primitive Wushu routine had had a positive impact on the formation and development of the primitive ritual dances.
