摘要：中国龙舟文化出海历史悠久,其中龙舟竞渡及端午节文化出海占据主流地位。龙舟竞渡不仅是兼具竞技性与观赏性的民俗活动，更于20世纪80年代被定位为民族体育运动，其蕴含的积极进取、勇敢刚健的核心体育精神，是龙舟文化突破地域限制、实现全球传播的深层逻辑与内在动力。在海外传播的进程中，通过组织或参加国际性龙舟赛事，搭建跨文化交流平台，从打破族群隔阂与性别壁垒的全民参与,到文化交融的在地化改造，再到作为身心治愈手段的功能延伸，龙舟运动展现出极强的适应性与包容性。新时代龙舟文化出海将以深化文明交流互鉴为导向，在叙事创新、非遗传承以及治理经验共享等方面探索更多切实可行的实践路径。

Title: Dragon Boat Culture Going Global: Innovative Paths for Cross-Cultural Exchange and Mutual Learning
Abstract: Chinese dragon boat culture has a long history of overseas dissemination, with dragon boat racing and the Dragon Boat Festival culture taking center stage. Dragon boat racing is not only a folk activity combining competitiveness and entertainment value, but has also been designated as a National Traditional Sport in the 1980s. Its core spirit of positivity, courage, and resilience serves as the deep-seated logic and intrinsic driving force propelling dragon boat culture to transcend geographical boundaries and achieve global dissemination. In the process of overseas dissemination, through organizing or participating in international dragon boat competitions and building cross-cultural exchange platforms, dragon boat sports have demonstrated remarkable adaptability and inclusiveness. This is evident in how they break ethnic barriers and gender divisions through public participation, and foster localized cultural integration and diversified roles, such as serving as a means of physical and mental healing.The overseas dissemination of dragon boat culture in the new era will be guided by deepening civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, exploring more practical approaches in narrative innovation, intangible cultural heritage preservation, and the sharing of governance experiences.
Keywords:Chinese culture going global; Dragon boat racing; healing; Intangible Cultural Heritage of Dragon Boat Racing
