中国国家形象建构中太极拳文化符号的运用

Application of Taijiquan Cultural Symbols in Construction of China's National Image

中国良好国家形象是实现和平崛起以及复兴中国梦的重要保障,是国际竞争中强有力的手段,已归属于国家战略的范畴。在此背景下,采用文献资料法、逻辑分析法、专家访谈法从形象学、符号学、传播学等视角提出"太极拳文化符号构建中国国家形象"的观点。研究认为:太极拳是中华传统文化的典型符号,以"和谐"为最高的价值追求,正与中国国家形象的和谐定位相吻合。太极拳跨文化传播过程中,通过身体运动的外感形式,在拳理的规范下,实现武学修为之道,最终达到人自身之和谐、人与自然之和谐、人与社会之和谐的完美状态。因此,太极拳在对外文化交流上理应担当起塑造"和谐中国"国家形象的历史使命。

A good national image is guarantee for the peaceful rise and renaissance of the Chinese nation. China has attached an unprecedented importance to the construction of ＂national image＂. Under this background, Taijiquan, the cultural symbol of the Chinese traditional culture, with its core value of ＂harmony＂, is consistent with the core orientation of the Chinese national image. In the process of cross-cultural communication, Taijiquan expresses integrity of harmony between the nature, the society and the human beings. Therefore, it best displays the image of ＂harmonious China＂ during cultural communication.
