Foreword 65438+At the end of 2009 and the beginning of the 20th century, China experienced long-term setbacks. Facing the serious crisis of western imperialist powers, the sense of anxiety of the Chinese nation's national subjugation and extinction was deeply rooted in people's hearts. At that time, the primary goal of a group of political reformers was to actively explore the root causes of China's weakness and how to save the nation from extinction. It is in this social and cultural background that modern sports in China began to emerge and develop. Modern sports in China has a history of only 65,438+000 years. During the 65,438+000 years, western sports began to be introduced into China, and gradually gained popularity and development. In this 100 year, the traditional sports in China have been struggling in an unstable environment. China sports has gone through its own modern development process in the mutual exclusion and mutual absorption of these two different sports systems-leaving people with a grand and arduous history of modern sports development. Undoubtedly, sports not only refers to individuals, but also contains rich social significance, including people's social values and ideal pursuits in a specific era. The significance of modern sports in China has gone far beyond sports itself, so we should study modern sports in China in a broader and deeper historical background. For poor and weak modern China, sports bear the people's desire for national rejuvenation in China, and the development of sports is even a symbol of the country's prosperity and rejuvenation in a certain sense. Therefore, we can't just focus on the evolution of school sports system, the promulgation of sports policies and decrees, and the sports thoughts of individual educators after 1904 "Guimao academic system".
