The Educational Connotations and the Modern Transformation of Traditional Chinese"Kung Fu"——Focusing on the Innovative Path to China's Pedagogic Discourse
Discourse innovation is the key to building the discourse system of China's pedagogy.Traditional Chinese"kung fu,"which has accumulated rich wisdom of self-cultivation and educational implications,is a symbolic concept to promote the innovation of China's pedagogical discourse.Centering on self-cultivation,"kung fu"is the way for ancient Chinese to achieve their individual cultivation of"inner morality and external character."It contains approaches to self-cultivation based on self-conscious will or efforts,the unity of the body and the mind,and practice-based tempering,together with the educational wisdom of internal transcendence,such as the subjective orientation toward generation and transformation,the life-theory orientation toward the harmony of the body and the mind,and the practice-theory orientation toward the unity of knowledge and practice.However,owing to the elitist tendency of"kung fu,"its excessive emphasis on an individual's"self-technology,"along with the complete transplantation of Western education and the orientation toward efficiency in modern education,"kung fu"has lost its place in the modern project of education.As a concept that changes with the development of the times,"kung fu"contains Chinese wisdom that resolves modern crises in education.Starting with the return to and the transformation of traditional Chinese"kung fu"and integrating tradition with modernity is a possible way for Chinese pedagogy to create new discourses and promote the construction of an independent knowledge system.
