Revisit to Mao Zedong’s National Salvation Concept of "Civilizing Its Spirit and Toughing Its Body" CHEN Tingxiang 2023, 49 (3):  1-7.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.001 Abstract ( 407 )   PDF (1320KB) ( 935 )   Save Young Mao Zedong's well-known saying "civilizing its spirit, toughing its body", which has a very far-reaching and widespread influence, should have been influenced by the similar ideas of Fukuzawa Yukichi of Japan, which were transmitted to China by Chen Duxiu and Cai E. However, this famous saying should have been first used by Mao Zedong and later transmitted across the world. When young Mao Zedong proposed the concept of "civilizing its spirit, toughing its body", he deeply criticized the traditional Chinese view of physical beauty and ugliness and physical movement, and proposed from a unique perspective the concept of strengthening the body, and giving equal importance to literature and martial arts. From the dimension of modern sports view, it adds a unique content for the New Culture Movement by criticizing the traditional cultural defects, transforming the national character and seeking a new way to save the country.

Research on the Formation Logic and Governance Strategy of Informal Sports Organizations DU Changliang, WANG Zhiwen, CHEN Bingqing 2023, 49 (3):  8-14.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.002 Abstract ( 376 )   PDF (1390KB) ( 1013 )   Save Informal sports organizations, with their self-organization characteristics and extraordinary activity ability and influence, play the special role of “grassroots cohesion” in building a new development pattern of national fitness. By using research methods of literature and field survey, the theoretical role of informal sports organizations under the new development pattern of national fitness was first clarified, and then the generation logic of informal sports organizations was refined from practice, and corresponding governance strategies were proposed according to the organizational governance dilemma. The study believes that informal sports organizations, as an effective organizational carrier for the in-depth implementation of the national fitness strategy, are generated in the logic of the transformation of major social contradictions, the transformation of sports governance system, the change of social sports concepts and the spontaneous participation of the masses. In the face of the governance dilemma of government governance deviation, internal governance disorder and lack of governance resources, the following governance strategies are proposed: build a nationwide fitness cooperative governance system of “grassroots government-formal sports organizations-informal sports organizations”; promote the transformation of the concept of government governance, adhere to the equal importance of supervision and cultivation; We should improve the internal governance order of informal sports organizations, and improve the organizational governance norms that combine autonomy, rule of law and rule of virtue under the leadership of the Party organization; Improve the organization’s social mobilization ability, strengthen the organization’s social identity and other strategies to promote the deep integration of informal sports organizations into the new development pattern of national fitness.

Lazy or Busy? Influencing Factors and Paths of Citizen Fitness Behavior Based on the Analysis of Public Opinions in Weibo YUAN Mengsha, CHEN Qing, WEN Juan 2023, 49 (3):  15-20.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.003 Abstract ( 381 )   PDF (1436KB) ( 928 )   Save After the implementation of the "National Fitness Program (2021-2025)" by State Council, expectations expressed through online public opinions in Sina Weibo regarding citizens' fitness are of great value for the in-depth exploration of the factors influencing citizens' fitness behavior. In this research, 1696 first-level comments about the "National Fitness Program" in Sina Weibo were collected with the help of Java programs. Using grounded theory coding technology, four categories, namely, "social situation of citizen fitness," "support system for citizen fitness," "subjective consciousness toward citizen fitness," and "objective conditions of citizen fitness" were identified and their logical relationship was investigated. On that basis, the driving factors and path of citizen fitness were constructed. This research indicates that external environmental factors, which are composed of the social situation of citizen fitness and the social support system for citizen fitness, affect citizens' fitness behavior. Subjective consciousness toward citizen fitness is the internal driving factor of citizen fitness behavior, while the objective conditions of citizen fitness are the external factor that guarantees citizen fitness behavior. The external environmental factors of citizen fitness can drive citizen fitness behavior (cognitive path of citizen fitness) by stimulating subjective consciousness toward citizen fitness. They can also drive citizen fitness behavior (tool path of citizen fitness) by ensuring the objective conditions of citizen fitness. Systematic theoretical research on the driving factors of citizen fitness behavior can be enriched and expanded by the results of the current study, which can provide both theoretical basis and implementation path for government, community and enterprises to formulate citizen fitness behavior policies.

Covid-19 Pandemic and Community Responsibility: A Case to Understand British Sport, Media and Society based on Coverage of Pay Cut of English Premier League YANG Xi, GUO Qing 2023, 49 (3):  28-34.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.005 Abstract ( 285 )   PDF (1318KB) ( 916 )   Save Covid-19 pandemic triggered a pay cut for Premier League players that received much attention from British society and the media, and the event is a good case study for understanding the relationship between sport, media and society in Britain during the pandemic. Using a mixed approach combining corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis, the Daily Mail and the Guardian were selected to study the coverage of the event, and it was found that: the media image of the players in the Daily Mail was "rich but cruel", and the media image of the players in the Guardian was "sports heroes". The Daily Mail expects players to sacrifice for their clubs, while the Guardian expects players to contribute to the wider community. Both emphasize players' community responsibility, and both reflect a tendency toward social integration with "strong centripetal and weak centrifugal forces", demonstrating that the pandemic has shifted communities from "intimacy" to "normative altruism". The implications for China is to reconceptualize the community-organizing function of sports and to convey a responsible citizenship image of athletes. References | Related Articles | Metrics

On the Unilateral Termination of Professional Football Labor Contract DONG Jinxin 2023, 49 (3):  55-61.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.009 Abstract ( 314 )   PDF (1425KB) ( 899 )   Save The unilateral termination of professional football labor contract requires a just cause according to the practical needs of football development and the provisions of FIFA. Based on the practice of football industry, the unilateral termination of professional football labor contract by football players is mainly caused by club's failure in player registration, excessive deduction of players' salary and lack of training conditions, while the reasons for the unilateral termination of labor contract by clubs include football players' injuries and illnesses, their poor performances, leaving the team without permission or refusal to return to the team, and ingestion of prohibited substances. Due to the differences in thinking pattern and methodology, there is a clear distinction between this practice and the pre-arranged statutory termination in existing labor legislations in China. Thus in the future, the settlement of disputes over unilateral termination of professional football labor contract in China should be resolved by classifying the just causes of termination into different types through case induction by the sports arbitration panel by referring to the jurisprudence of international sports arbitration, so as to properly resolve the conflict between the application of state law and the practice of football industry.

Reinterpreting Legal Regulations on Match-manipulation from the Perspective of Professional Football: Control and Balance ZHANG Yujiesheng 2023, 49 (3):  62-68.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.010 Abstract ( 304 )   PDF (1404KB) ( 882 )   Save Once the result of the game is known in advance or the course of the game has been artificially fixed, all professional competitive sports will be completely destroyed. Hence, 'combating and destroying' have long been the theme of match-manipulation governance. However, the increasing necessity and urgency to strengthen match-manipulation governance is not limited to this. Match-manipulation is no longer just a chronic illness in the sports industry, but has become a law issue that intertwines with society, economy, politics, and culture. It is difficult to solve the problem solely by the traditional "combating and destroying" practice. Therefore, legal regulation of match-manipulation should take "control and balance" as its core. That is, to comprehensively, appropriately and legitimately intervene in the governance of sports corruption, so as to achieve the final goal of regulating match-manipulation and preventing it from posing a real threat to the healthy and sustainable development of sports through the framework of dynamic balance between sports autonomy and judicial intervention via legislation, law enforcement, administration and many other means of controlling the balance.

High Quality Development of School Physical Education: Value Implication, Realistic Dilemma and Promotion Strategy XUE Pengfei, CAO Jingchuan 2023, 49 (3):  112-118.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.015 Abstract ( 411 )   PDF (1404KB) ( 970 )   Save Realizing the high-quality development of school physical education is a major strategic task for China’s education sector in the new era. Adopting the methods of literature review and logical analysis, and taking the five major concepts of "innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing" as its guide, this article comprehensively expounds the value implications of high-quality development of school physical education, analyzes the realistic dilemma, and proposes the promotion strategies. The research results indicate that the high-quality development of school physical education lays a solid foundation for the construction of a leading sports nation, is conducive to the systematic construction of a high-quality education system, and is an important path for cultivating high-quality talents in the new era. The realistic dilemma faced by the high-quality development of school physical education: in terms of innovation-driven development, there is a lack of innovation in the school physical education curriculum system and evaluation mechanism; in terms of sustainable development, there are such problems as lack of high-quality resources in coordinated development, prominence of exam-oriented education in green development, and problem of closure in open development; in terms of sharing, there are problems such as lack of top-level design, lack of coordination mechanism, and limited shared resources. High quality development path of school physical education: fully implement the concept of "learning well, practicing hard, and attending competition regularly" to stimulate the innovative vitality of school physical education; firmly adhere to the concept of "collaboration, green, and openness" to promote the sustainable development of school physical education; establish a sound sharing mechanism to build a platform for sharing the achievements of school physical education development.

Investigating the Connotation of "Ticao" and "Tiyu" Before and After Renxu Educational System HE Lei 2023, 49 (3):  119-128.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.016 Abstract ( 326 )   PDF (1835KB) ( 912 )   Save This article examines people's perception and usage of these two concepts during the period from the appearance of "Ticao" and "Tiyu" in China to approximately the time of the promulgation of the "Renxu Educational System." After "Tiyu" and "Ticao" were introduced to China, they were not used interchangeably but were used separately. Therefore, this article argues that the cancellation of the "Ticao" course and its replacement by "Tiyu" course in the "Renxu Educational System" is not simply a renaming of the course or a choice between two mixed concepts. By replacing the "Ticao" course with the "Tiyu" course, the "Renxu Educational System" not only followed the popular sentiment of reforming the outdated "Ticao" curriculum but also abolished the Japanese-style "Ticao" curriculum system guided by the military national education, and established a new "Tiyu" curriculum system guided by practical education ideas originating from the United States. This marked a turning point for physical education in modern Chinese schools. By canceling the "Ticao" course and replacing it with the "Tiyu" course, the "Renxu Educational System" not only reestablished the physical education curriculum system in modern Chinese schools, but also changed the practice of physical education in schools after the "Renxu Educational System." In this sense, the decision to discontinue the "Ticao" course and replace it with the "Tiyu" course through "Renxu Educational System" was a form of discourse practice. However, by defining "Tiyu" as a "course" through the educational system, the pragmatic discourse related to "Tiyu" transformed after the "Renxu Educational System", which laid the groundwork for later controversies over the concept of "Tiyu."

The Knightly Martial Arts of the Late Middle Ages ——Analysis of Italian Martial Arts Literature The Flower of Battle YU Yongtao 2023, 49 (3):  129-135.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.017 Abstract ( 318 )   PDF (1916KB) ( 1050 )   Save Fior di Battaglia (The Flower of Battle) is a martial arts document written around the beginning of the 15th century by the Italian martial artist Fiore. This book is a comprehensive and systematic account of the chivalry fighting in the late Middle Ages, covering unarmed combat, sword, axe, spear, dagger and other weapon-fighting techniques, including dismounted combat and mounted. This book reveals a lot of details about knights' battles, which is an inescapable historical literature for the study of knights' martial arts in the Middle Ages of Europe. In recent years, The Flower of Battle has drawn many researchers' attention, and has been translated into English. There are even many U.S. and European fencing enthusiasts trying to recover lost knight grapple skills according to the text for many years. Unfortunately, there is not much research on western knight martial arts in China at present, and few Chinese scholars mention this literature. Based on the manuscript of the Flower of Battle collected in J. Paul Getty Museum and the English translation by Colin Hatcher, it is not difficult to find that the Knightly Martial Arts of the late Middle Ages is a comprehensive and hierarchical system. In order to adapt to different combat environments, knights need to master various combat skills. If compared with Chinese traditional martial arts, we can also find many similarities between them.

"Good Muscle" and "Bad Fat": How Human Beings View Body in the Age of Digital Intelligence LIU Zhiyan 2023, 49 (3):  136-142.  doi: 10.15942/j.jcsu.2023.03.018 Abstract ( 320 )   PDF (1359KB) ( 913 )   Save Influenced by the wave of Post-modernism in 1980s, the social and cultural aspects of human body have been highlighted and human body has become an object that can be shaped and constructed. Meanwhile, under the assistance of modern medical science, the ratio of muscle and fat in human body within certain standards has become the core knowledge in human body expression. This tendency has been reinforced in the age of digital intelligence, and resulted in the interaction between human body and media and its digital expression, as well as the formation of a new view towards human body. This article takes the methods of "participant observation" and deep investigation in anthropology to discuss how human beings develop the expression mechanism of human body in the age of digital intelligence, and put the expression into practice. Besides, the construction of identity and the obtainment of experience in this process are expounded, which will be eventually crystalized as unique social memory.
