The Historical Formation,Aesthetic Connotation and Contemporary Inheritance of Chinese Sportsmanship
Chinese sportsmanship is the manifestation of Chinese spirit in the field of sports,such as the enterprising spirit of Confucian scholars,the spirit of rebirth of Taoist scholars and the spirit of compassion of Buddhist scholars.It has experienced three stages of development in the course of historical formation,such as the classical form of adopting sports to support a country,the martial spirit of saving the country with physical strength and the sports spirit of strengthening the country with physical strength.The sportsmanship of winning honor for the country and selfless dedication,the moral philosophy of scientif-ic truth-seeking and law-abiding and the realm philosophy of cooperation and tenacious struggle are the specific meanings of the aesthetic connotation of Chinese sportsmanship.The key to the contemporary inheritance of Chinese sportsmanship lies in the aesthetic education to make athletes and bodybuilders form"the realm including self"with patriotic enthusiasm and elegant taste.
