| The advancement of rural sports in China has been highly valued by the central government and it has roughly undergone two different periods since1995. The first period is represented by the promulgation of National Fitness Program Outline and Physical Law of People’s Republic of China, which firstly incorporated the developing process of rural sports into a period of regulations to follow and laws to abide by. The second period is characterized by the proposition of Build a Well-Off Society in an All-Round Way and the promulgation of Temporary Provisions on Rural Sports in the report of the16th National Congress of CPC, which provided an excellent opportunity for the progression of rural sports. Especially in Oct.2005, Outline Proposal on the Eleventh Five-Year Plan implemented in the Fifth Plenary Session of the16th Central Committee of CPC proposed the promotion of Building a New Socialist Countryside according to the requirements of Developed Production, Well-Off Life, Civilized Local Customs (in which the development of rural sports was put forward), Clean Village Appearance, Democratic Administration.The advancement of rural sports is one of considerably effective and significant measures to push forward the construction of both material and spiritual civilization in China.
