Local cultural talents are key local talents cultivated by the state in the new era, who are gradually becoming the backbone of promoting the development of national traditional sports culture. This study takes Gongbu whistling arrow, a traditional ethnic sport unique to Linzhi, Xizang, as an example, and it employs fieldwork, interviews, and narrative research methods, to analyze the value implications, practical logic, and implementation path for local cultural talents to promote the flourishing and development of national traditional sports culture, providing certain insights into using local cultural talents to unite and inherit joint efforts, promoting the prosperity of national traditional sports culture in the new era. The study finds that local cultural talents participate in the development of national traditional sports, and have the value of enriching the main body of inheritance, reconstructing the inheritance system, perfecting the cultivation ecology, and guiding activation and utilization. The logic of their role lies in three key links that are integration and progressive translation: First, through excavating and sorting, retaining the national memory; second, through reform and innovation, activating the spirit of the times; third, embracing the market and promoting living inheritance. Accordingly, the proposed implementation path emphasizes preventive protection and rescue protection, combines inheritance and innovative development, and advances mercerization and industrialization together.
