Starting from the theory of cultural heritage, this study uses comparative research methods and field research methods to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current inheritance mechanism of Xingyiquan from three levels: memory reshaping, value reconstruction and order reconstruction, so as to explore the internal logic of the inheritance and development of Xingyiquan. The results showed that through the memory reconstruction of “catching sight of scenery, feeling, and spirit”, the inheritance of Xingyiquan had been increased the cognitive dimension of time continuity and spatial identity; by reconstructing the value of “catching sight of people, usage, and life”, the scope and influence of Xingyiquan had been expanded; through the reconstruction of the order of “catching sight of the public, wisdom, and harmony”, the concepts and behaviors in the inheritance of Xingyiquan had been standardized. Memory reshaping, value reconstruction and order reconstruction has built a bridge from history to reality and the future for Xingyiquan, provided new thinking for the inheritance and protection of Xingyiquan, and also would provide important theoretical support and practical reference for the protection ofChina’s intangible cultural heritage in sports.
