Abstract: By the methods of literature review, interviews of experts, the E-mei martial arts culture was taken as the research object, and exploration was done emphatically from the angle of its inheritance path. It was found that the cultural in- heritance paths of the E-mei martial arts include group inheritance, master-apprentice inheritance, kindred inheritance, and school inheritance. In pursuit of a sustainable cultural inheritance of E-mei martial arts and in combination with the current trend of social development, it is of vital importance to establish a scientific and rational system of inheritance paths, to rein- force the protection of inheritance people, and dispose of sectarianism so that a healthy development for the cultural inheritance of E-mei martial arts could be achieved.
