Research on the Present Situation and Development of Traditional Sports「The Artillery Activity Festival 」of Hakka Traditional Sports in Liu-Tui Area

台灣在族群分佈上，客家人約佔15%，為第二大族群，傳承客家精神與文化的客家傳統體育有待發掘與延續保存。本研究的目的在於探討六堆地區客家傳統體育中攻炮城的發展概況，採用歷史研究法、文獻分析法。本研究以客家攻炮城為探討主軸;分別針對其發展概況及種類進行探究。結論如下：南部六堆區域稱攻炮城為「尖炮城」，早期是集聚堆民團結一致並用以通知其他堆區民眾，加強防禦與抗敵的活動。雖然，早期六堆客家先民將戰技及體能訓練結合於攻炮城活動中，唯傳襲至今雖已無攻城所需要的戰技，卻在強健體魄的民俗體育中存有相當的價值，亦讓現今攻炮城的型式更加多元化。現今，攻砲城已成為客庄十二大節慶之一，使六堆客家傳統體育及客家文化得以傳承。
