Water drum dance is a cultural legacy inherited from re-ligious sacrificial and farming civilization of people of the Miao nationality, provided with distinct educational value, cul-tural value, communicative value and symbolic value. The development of social civilization has resulted in the corre-sponding changing of the valuable functions, cultural qualities and participating groups of water drum dance. As a village sport, water drum dance has important inspirations to the development of minority national village sports: for the devel-opment of minority national village sports, the primitive conditions and diversity of national cultures should be maintained on the basis of trying not to change activity times, costumes and props, ritual processes and participant localization, while brand building, feature formation, the exertion of the influence of administrative functional departments and important in-heritors, and the appropriate development of tourism and intangible assets on the basis of maintaining the primitive condi-tions of national cultures, should be carried out, so as to boost the development of productivity.
