Sports activities in real life include two categories: One is the modern professional competition and specialized body-building, also with social and cultural function. The other is the social etiquettes and cultural communication activities, also with function of competing and body-building. The author thinks that the sports activities are integral parts of human's culture. Taking out of the sports from the human's culture and treating it as an isolate category is the one of the results of the western modern concept that influences the world. When we see this kind of modern categories, we should understand, respect but try not to be restricted by it. In other words, we cannot let it cut off the sequences of historical and cultural thoughts of China's nationalities.The minority nationalities' sports culture in NanJiang of Xinjiang Province is not only the skills in production and living, but also the sports activities for the youth. It also has the social and cultural function, which is the result of the mutual adaptation between people and nature. The developing directions and processes of the minority nationalities' sports culture is influenced by the natural ecology and social cultural environment in minority nationality regions. Although there are many humane social elements infiltrating into the development of minority nationalities' traditional sports, the national ecology's influence to the nationalities' traditional sports is the most direct and obvious. The minority nationalities' sports in Southern Xinjiang reflect the diversified ethnical cultures in this area and show the health, quality, conceptions of the participants. It is the most important form to show the mutual relationship between health, society, culture and natural ecology.Since the beginning of the modern society, the politics, economy, culture, education of a nation has entered into the ethnical thoughts, and at the same time, they have a great effect on the local sports culture business. But there are still some deeply local brands in many aspects, such as ecology, cultural traditions, regional belief and culture and customs. The ethnical traditional sports plays a very important and necessary role in passing on the ethnical culture.This academic paper is based on the concept of the whole human society and biology, and takes four cases of ethnical traditional sports in NanJiang as examples. The materials of the topic were collected in local areas. The paper focus on the mutual function the role of the ethnical sports in the whole ethnical culture, which shows the current significance and function of the ethnical sports culture of NanJiang, Xinjiang Province in the reconstruction of the ethnical culture.
