Abstract: As the carrier of history, society, culture and education, body is always in the process of generation. In the specific historical period of modern China, women's body in the field of physical education was generated in various forms: the subordinate body in the healthy body and strong country orientation, the awakening body inthe national identity and gender equality orientation, the shaped body inthe health and bodybuilding orientation, the professional body inthe teacher training and sports competition orientation. The generation of women's body was realized under the influence of various discourses. The national discourse of gaining national independence and promoting the modernization of China is not the only driving force. The feminist movement and the modernizationof education are also driving forces that cannot be ignored. In the meantime, bondage and liberation, passive and initiative coexistence show the complexity and diversity ofwomen's body generation, which carries a complex and rich connotationand makes us understand the physical education of women in modern China from a differentperspective.

Key words: women's bodies, generation of bodies, physical education, modern China
