The investigation shows that the folk sports organizations in Lin village have significantly improved the moral order of the village by reviving the Song-jiang battle ritual and relying on its cultural spirit, leading the rural construction within the village and holding a series of activities such as “respecting the elderly and educating the people” within the village and martial arts events among the villages. It is believed that this improvement stems from the long-term homogeneous social mobilization within the village and the heterogeneous mobilization among villages by folk sports organizations with the help of the local culture contained in traditional sports, which makes the individual morality, intra-organization morality and inter-organization morality form and, cycle mutually construct, thus reshapes the collective consciousness and further reconstructing the moral order of the village. At the same time, the form of social solidarity in Lincun changed along with the process of the folk sports organizations participating in social mobilization, and presented a complex state of coexistence of organic solidarity and mechanical solidarity.
