1、1The enlightenment of the eastern and western sports culture in the Chinese college physical educatioAbstract. The eastern sports culture in the edification of the Confucianism gradually formed a unique style integrating the health fitness, moral education, entertainment competition. Under the great
2、 influence of the Western Olympic movement, the eastern sports culture is no longer a self contained body in the closed environment, but develops rapidly in the confluence of the mutual integration and mutual competition with the of western sports culture. At the same time, the value ingredients in
3、the eastern sports culture have been accepted by more and more westerners. From the guided thinking of the eastern and western sports culture, considering from the twenty-first century and the future society needs, starting from reforming and improving the contents and structures of the physical edu
4、cation, the author puts forward the composite concept of physical education centered around the ideological and moral education, the competitive value, and the ability training. Key words: East and West; sports culture; sports 2education In the rapid change and development of the education today, co
5、lleges and universities in China obtain the opportunity of development richly endowed by nature. How the physical education in colleges of our country “face the modernization, face the world, face the future, and keep pace with the times“ has become the central topic of sports workers to be solved.
6、For example, Chinese college physical education should not abandon the “natural“ separation “Jingwei line“ between the eastern and western sports cultures on the basis of the idea framework and the category system of the public colleges and universities and the traditional cultures, complement each
7、other and mutually reinforce, which can form the basic way and culture “perspective“ for us to think of the Chinese college physical education. This paper starts from the analysis of the development of the eastern and western sports culture, uses the methods of literature review, and integrates the
8、obtained enlightenment into the Chinese college physical education in the understanding of their prominent theory of the oriental and western sports cultures, to improve the contents, structures and characteristics of Chinese college physical education. 31. The eastern and western sports cultures Th
9、e history of the development of the world sports indicates that the world sports were first produced in the east instead of the west. In 5000 BC, the ancient east began to transit to the civilized society. The oriental sports in this historical period have a positive impact not only in the later wes
10、tern sports, but also on the sports world. When the oriental sports existed as a whole in the human society and got the full development, namely the 11-9 century BC, the birthplace of European civilization, located in the ancient Greece of the southern Europe, Rome was still in the age of mythology
11、childish, and the physical nature also had just started. Through the creation and development of 8-5 century BC, the west began to form the sports type different from the eastern sports and has distinctive characters of the west. So far, the western sports were in the initial formation. The world sp
12、orts also entered a new stage with the two different types of sports on the east and west adding radiance and beauty to each other, parallel but un-synchronously developing. During the 2-10 century AD, the majority of the countries in the East Asia and the North Africa entered the feudal society, an
13、d the oriental sports continued to maintain its prosperity in 4the good social conditions, and tend to be more and more mature. The western sports at that time both in the contents and the forms was far backward and poor compared to the oriental sports of the same period. However, during the period
14、from the fifteenth century to the seventeenth century, the Europe developed in the capitalist society, so that the western sports began to enter a great turning period. The western sports gradually got rid of the backward state, and were separated from the wars and religious activities, becoming an
15、independent and complete social phenomenon. The eastern culture with Confucianism as the core and the western culture with Protestant Ethic as the core are two different cultural origins. Obviously, the eastern and the western sports cultures must be of their respective cultural colors and features.
16、 At the same time, with the development of the modern natural science, peoples sports values changed, becoming aware that the modern sports have specific values for the cultivation of the personality and physique of all-round development the new era needs. 1-1. The eastern sports culture The prosper
17、ous situation formed in the ancient of the oriental sports with China, Japan, India, Korea and other 5Asian countries as the representatives has not been fully developed further in modern times all because of the kind of close and feudal social conditions most of the time in the international interc
18、ourse. The oriental sports have entered a period of stagnation and shadow. Since the nineteen fifties, the fundamental change has taken place in the eastern social conditions, narrowing the gap between China and the western countries in the economic, cultural and technological development. The rise
19、of China, Korea, Vietnam and other socialist countries in Asia and the high speed development of the East Asian tigers in the economy, culture and science and technology make the oriental sports with the Asian countries as the representatives develop rapidly in the intersection and fusion with the w
20、estern sports with the Olympic movements as the core. As far as China is concerned, after generations of inheritance, variation and development, China has gradually formed its own unique styles and personalities, and the basic spirit with the health fitness and moral cultivation as the main purpose
21、and highly consistent with the Chinese traditional cultures as well as the sports forms of the national character that this culture forgings. China has also formed a stable structure, and the independent physical culture system 6different from the sports forms of any other countries in the world. Af
22、ter the Opium War, the western sports have been introduced into China, so that the eastern and western sports cultures mutual integrate, and gradually formed a new pattern of mutual migration and competition and improving together of the eastern and western sports cultures. 1-2. The western sports c
23、ulture The development of the western modern sports has undergone roughly three stages. The first stage (the ancient Greece period) , the ancient Greece attached great importance to the youth physical training. 300 years BC ago, the educator Platon in his mind and body harmony educational design, pl
24、anned the contents and requirements of the sports activities of various ages. The second stage (the Renaissance period) , the British educator Rock first proposed the “three-education theory“, which is to divide the education into the three parts of the physical education, the moral education and th
25、e intellectual education, and stressed that “a healthy spirit ensures a healthy body“. The third stage (after the nineteenth century revolution) , at that time the German gymnastics were in vogue, and at the same time the ball games in the United States, and the French sports had also developed rapi
26、dly. Its 7main contents were athletics, gymnastics, weight lifting and various ball games. These movements particularly lay emphasis on the muscle exercise and the athletic body. Researches show that the features of the western sports cultures are associated with the adaptive capitalist historical c
27、onditions and the competitive and philosophical adventures, thus forming an aggressive style paying attention to “cultivating vital energy“, building bodies and paying attention to the external unity and competition. At the end of the nineteenth century, the direct result of the development of the w
28、estern sports culture brought about the Olympic movement. The Olympic movement has experienced a century of development, finally becoming a relatively independent social phenomenon beyond the realm of sports, and affecting the international politics, economy and culture. At the same time, with the r
29、apid development of the material civilization of the western society, people feel more and more disappointed and bored with the modern society with the lack of exercise and the mental decadent life. Thus to the westerners trying to get out of this situation, many sports thoughts and modes of motion
30、in the oriental sports are more and more attractive for them. 2. The enlightenment of the eastern and western sports 8cultures on the Chinese college physical education Chinese traditional physical education in colleges and universities highlights the “three basics“ as the center, which grasps the e
31、ssence and the connotation of the physical education. However, considering from the respective characteristics of the east and west sports cultures and the trend of the gradual convergence, as well as the demands of the “quality education in the twenty-first century“ and the requirements of the futu
32、re society on the sports, the author thinks that the reflection on Chinese college physical education contents from the perspective of the eastern and western sports cultures can have the following enlightenments on the construction of Chinese university physical education content system. 2-1. The c
33、ultivation of moral and ethic education is an urgent task of Chinese physical education in colleges and universities. At present, in the physical education of Chinese universities, there are many problems that the educational ideas lag behind, the educational contents are weak, the education form is
34、 single, the education links come apart, and so on, which are not conducive to the cultivation of students morality. Therefore, in the physical education teaching, we 9should vigorously carry forward the essence of the eastern and western sports cultures, and really integrate the western sports cult
35、ure competition, self values, moral philosophy and the ways of the world, health preserving methods and the moral ideas of the oriental sports culture with China as the representative into the physical education in universities, to make the college physical education integrate into the western ethic
36、s, and make the physical education become one of the college students “moral sanctification“ means, as an urgent task and a long-term goal of the physical education in colleges and universities of China. If the task is completed well, it is bound to promote the rapid development of the Chinese unive
37、rsity sports education. 2-2. Excellent sports items should be transplanted to China university sports education. In recent years of education, the oriental sports items with the Chinese national traditional sports items as the representative, such as Wushu, Qigong, dragon boat, dragon and lion dance
38、, kite, swing and other traditional ethnic sports items, especially the shadow boxing, began gradually to transfer, introduce and develop in the western, breaking through the denotation and connotation of the western sports 10culture. And the western competitive sports items, such as basketball, soc
39、cer, baseball, track and field, exploration, rock climbing, gymnastics, boxing and so on, have also been gradually transplanted into the peoples minds of all ethnic groups in the east, and have won the love and participation. Therefore, if we can combine and screen the outstanding sports items of th
40、e eastern and western sports cultures, and transplant them into Chinese college physical education, we are sure to enrich the contents of the physical education and improve the grades of Chinese college physical education to achieve the optimization of the physical education. 2-3. Acceptance of the
41、sports concepts should be reflected in the Chinese physical education in colleges and universities. The traditional Chinese view of life, view of health, harmony and the corresponding physical health concepts contain rich contents of human life sciences, such as paying attention to the unity of the body and the mind, and the internal and external coordination, the association of activity and inertia and many other dialectical thoughts, which have received more and more human cognition. The concept of competition, competitive qualities, male fierce styles that the western
