From the perspective of at-tribute ontology, the essential attribute of physical education curriculum knowledge is sports technology; from the perspective of survival ontology, the value of physical education curriculum knowledge highlights its pedagogical significance; from the point of view of the development of education, culture and the entire humankind, what the pedagogical significance of physical education curriculum knowledge presents is a sort of “cultural evolution”, while the realistic reflection of such “cultural evolution” is the formation of “sports makings” of individual students. Such understandings enable us to more clearly understand such questions as “Is there knowledge lecturing in physi-cal education curriculum?” and “Is sports technology being made less important?” and such realistic issues as “the controversy between the constitution view and the skill view”, which appeared historically or are appearing now.
