Abstract: Using the methods of text analysis, participant observation and unstructured interview, this paper takes the Hakka Guandao Wenwu Lamp Array in the She ethnic village in the highlands of Fujian Province as the research object and discusses the boundary and integration of the She ethnic and the Hakka ethnic in the village field. It is found that the Guandao Wenwu Lamp Array, as an ethnic ritual sports activity constructed by the Hakka family group of Gaodi village to worship their ancestors, has been integrated into the celebration activity of the She ethnic in the process of the ritual sports inheritance. The research indicates that the space boundary between She and Hakka is shaped in the field of ethnic worship activity, while the participation of Hakka's performance promotes the fusion of two isolated ethnic groups in the field of She ethnic celebrations. The spatial boundary between the ethnic groups in the village is constructed to preserve the ethnic characteristics while the ethnic integration promotes the construction of the village community. In this way the cooperative governance pattern by the multi-ethnic community is shaped. The boundary and integration meet the need of the village ethnic groups to find their own existence and common development, and the symbolic ethnic ritual sports become the instrumental rationality to realize this need.
