再论青年毛泽东“文明其精神,野蛮其体魄”救国理念

Revisit to Mao Zedong’s National Salvation Concept of"Civilizing Its Spirit and Toughing Its Body"

青年毛泽东“文明其精神,野蛮其体魄”这句影响十分深远广泛的名言,在思想上应受到经由陈独秀、蔡锷等人传至中国的日本思想家福泽谕吉的日本体育教育思想的影响。但这句中文名言应是毛泽东首先使用而流传于世的。青年毛泽东在提出“文明其精神,野蛮其体魄”时深入批判了中国传统身体美丑观和身体动静观,从一个独特视角提出了强体健身、文武并重的新民见解。从现代体育观的维度为新文化运动批判传统文化缺陷,改造国民性,寻求新的救国之道增加了独有的内容。

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.
