On the Cultural Symbolism in The Song of Football

沈心工创作的《足球歌》是中国现今历史上记载最早的体育歌曲之一。《足球歌》不仅开创了现代体育歌曲的先河,其歌曲本体也是近代"新体育"的思想见证。采用文献资料法和逻辑思辨等研究方法,从文化角度对"足球歌"的文化内涵、象征意义加以考察与梳理可以发现,作为中国最早以足球为主题的体育歌曲,《足球歌》在中国近代以来首次以体育歌曲艺术形式吹响了"新体育"的号角,成为近代提倡体育"教育化"的文化写照。从文化引领的角度来看,挖掘《足球歌》的文化深度的重要意义还在于推动体育文化大繁荣的同时,增强我国足球文化的社会氛围。
