This paper deeply explores the current development status of the traditional sports culture of the Miao Lusheng Dance "Gunshanzhu" in Nayong County, Guizhou Province. Through the fieldwork method and from the perspective of intangible cultural heritage protection, it analyzes the evolution, inheritance challenges, and protection measures of the project. The conclusions are as follows: First, the government has joined hands with civil forces to commit to the inheritance and protection of the "Gunshanzhu" culture; second, drawing on foreign experience in intangible cultural heritage protection, the protection of "Gunshanzhu" has been incorporated into villagers' conventions and introduced into school classrooms, while comprehensive medical security systems have been provided for inheritors; third, efforts have been strengthened to protect the original ecological "Gunshanzhu" culture and reduce the negative impact of foreign cultures; finally, reasonable commercial operations of the "Gunshanzhu" culture have been carried out to promote its inheritance and development.
