以“移民史”为背景的梅州客家狮舞是民俗体育文化生发传衍的缩影。客家狮舞的文化生成包含“外缘”与“内演”两个方面。“外缘”包括：1）客家狮舞是对汉、魏晋、唐宋以来形成的贵族狮舞传统的承续；2）作为客家狮舞根基的武术由外而内汇成；3）佛教民俗化以“大头和尚”“西游故事”等凸显狮舞的客家特征。“内演”是指基于客家聚居地的封闭性，狮舞文化在多元因素融合中演化定型，表现为武舞融合、喜悲兼具的仪式表达和艺术化的现代转型。客家狮舞植根于客家民俗生活之中，作为“流动神祗”成为人们日常生活秩序的象征和地方治理的中间媒介。惟有客观理解民俗体育形成的历史过程与机制，才能深刻认识民俗体育个性之必然，继而探寻不同族群以民俗体育为媒介的和平共存之道。

The Hakka Lion Dance in Meizhou is the epitome of the development of folk sports culture. The cultural generation of Hakka Lion Dance includes two aspects: “external causes” and “internal evolution”. “External causes” includes: 1) the Hakka Lion Dance is a continuation of the noble lion dance tradition formed since the Han, Wei, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties; 2) Wushu, as the foundation of Hakka Lion Dance, is formed from the outside to the inside; 3) the folk custom of Buddhism highlights the Hakka characteristics of lion dance with “big head monk” and “story of journey to the West”. “Internal evolution” refers to the evolution and finalization of lion dance culture in the fusion of multiple factors based on the closeness of Hakka settlements, which is manifested in the ritual expression and artistic modern transformation of martial arts and dance, joy and sorrow. Hakka Lion Dance is rooted in Hakka folk life. As a “flowing deity”, it has become a symbol of people's daily life order and an intermediate medium of local governance. Only by objectively understanding the historical process and mechanism of the formation of folk sports, can we deeply understand the necessity of folk sports personality, and then explore the peaceful coexistence of different ethnic groups with folk sports as the media.
