Abstract

The Chinese sports spirit plays a crucial role in forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation among youth in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and boasts practical implementation paths. Based on sports theory, this paper clarifies the value core of patriotism, collectivism, and striving contained in the Chinese sports spirit, as well as its relationship and mutual transformation with the GBA youth's sense of community for the Chinese nation. It constructs a multi-dimensional integrated logical framework encompassing value internalization and identification, emotional sharing and identification, practical consciousness and identification, symbolic construction and identification, and interactive communication and identification. Meanwhile, it discusses the inherent mechanism of promoting identification through sports cultural carriers and sports social practices. On the basis of meeting the personalized needs of young people, the paper proposes new paths to create influential sports brand activities, innovate sports culture to tell GBA stories, and puts forward specific supporting measures for the future development of GBA youth in combination with how to do a good job in sports work in the new era.
