    Using the urban natural environment to create outdoor sports space is an important way to enrich the supply of national fitness space and meet the diversified fitness needs of the people. This approach is of great significance for creating high-quality urban outdoor sports destinations and stimulating the vitality of outdoor sports consumption. By employing the methods of literature review, logical analysis, and comparative analysis, this paper discusses the logic, dilemmas, experiences, and insights related to the construction of urban outdoor sports space. According to the research, urban outdoor sports space includes four types: direct opening of natural resources, organic embedding of supporting facilities, construction of exclusive site facilities, and composite utilization of other sites. The construction of urban outdoor sports space holds value in resolving the dilemma of national fitness space, aiding the construction of beautiful cities, and supporting the spatial coordination of industrial elements. However, it also faces challenges such as the imbalance between ecological protection and functional development, the dislocation between rigid planning and elastic demand, the lack of scenes for technology embedding and business combination, and the weak mechanism for social capital and public participation. The successful experiences of developed countries mainly include adhering to the design concept of organic unity between ecological protection and spatial expansion, emphasizing the development layout of spatial integration and the effective connection of multi-dimensional needs, creating a use scenario driven by the integration of digital enabling and business forms, and establishing a long-term collaborative management mechanism of government guidance and multiple co-governance. Based on these insights, the paper proposes local inspirations: to pay attention to the concept of upgrading dimensions and realize the effective coupling of space utilization and ecological bottom line; to break through the boundaries of development and build a planning system compatible with overall space planning and demand; to promote scene innovation and foster the symbiotic empowerment of digital technology and business mode integration; and to innovate in institutional design to improve the coordination mechanism between effective markets and successful governments.
  • Mold Clay to Make a Vessel: The Philosophical Exploration of Stadiums as Collective Memory Landscapes
    ZHANG Zhen, WANG Zhenyu
    2025, 45(1): 13-25. https://doi.org/10.13830/j.cnki.cn44-1129/g8.2025.01.002

    This study employs the perspectives of literature analysis, historical analysis, and spatial philosophy to examine the landscaped characteristics of stadiums as sites of collective memory and political identity. The findings reveal that stadiums are not merely physical spaces but also significant venues for collective memory and political identity, shaped by sporting events, ceremonial activities, and landmark architecture. However, in the contemporary era, stadiums exhibit three fractures in their capacity to sustain collective memory: the disjuncture between large-scale events and everyday rituals, the disconnect between monumental landmarks and lived spaces, and the misalignment of collective memory between major events and iconic structures. These fractures hinder stadiums from effectively preserving collective memory and fostering political identity. To address this issue, the study proposes recommendations across three dimensions—temporality, scale, and alignment: emphasizing processuality in time, bridging the micro and macro scales, and reinforcing the referentiality between bodily performances and spatial symbols. These recommendations aim to achieve continuity and coherence in collective memory and the embodiment of political identity, offering a novel perspective for understanding and realizing the cultural significance and value of stadiums. The study provides insights for contemporary research in the sociology of stadium spaces and their practical construction.
  • Carving Windows and Doors to Create a Room： Cultural Reflection and Interpretation of the Phenomenology of the Body in Sports Space
    LI Sheng, ZHU Zhen-ying
    2025, 45(1): 26-36. https://doi.org/10.13830/j.cnki.cn44-1129/g8.2025.01.003

    In the context of advancing the national fitness strategy, the construction of urban sports spaces is facing a series of challenges, including the homogenization of spatial construction forms, mismatch between functions and citizens' exercise needs, and disconnection from citizens' daily lives. These problems all stem from a lack of understanding of the inherent attributes of sports spaces in the design, planning, and construction phases. Based on this, this study adopts a methodological approach of phenomenological reduction to deeply reflect on the essential attributes of sports spaces. The study points out that sports spaces should not be simply understood as the material form of equipment and venues or abstract design symbols, but should be seen as a bodily field of sports experience embedded with “people-things-symbols.” Sports spaces constructed based on bodily fields can exhibit characteristics of openness, interactivity, and dynamism, truly meeting the diverse, flexible, and life-oriented exercise experiences of athletes, and realizing the multi-directional interaction and coordinated development of “body-home-city.” Based on this, principles and suggestions for future sports space construction are proposed: using human bodily perception as the scale, human daily life perception as the premise, and localized spatial syntax and construction principles that conform to urban texture. These principles can actively respond to the important concept of “People's city is for the people.”
  • Research on Ethnic Traditional Sports Strengthening the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation under the Concept of Cultural Symbiosis
    CUI Le-quan, GUO Jia-xin
    2025, 45(1): 37-44. https://doi.org/10.13830/j.cnki.cn44-1129/g8.2025.01.004

    Chinese ethnic traditional sports, as crucial vehicles for cultivating the sense of community for the Chinese nation, have played a unique historical role in the construction of the Chinese nation, historical documentation, cultural creation, and the cultivation of national spirit. The foundation of this functional mechanism is prominently reflected in the value pursuits and cultural concepts embodied in the mutual assimilation and integration of sports cultures among various ethnic groups under the philosophy of cultural symbiosis. This paper argues that the refinement of cultural symbiosis in ethnic traditional sports and the elevation of cultural practices have evolved through distinct historical processes-from pluralistic development to symbiotic cohesion, and from collective progress to shared inheritance-ultimately oriented toward fostering and solidifying the sense of community for the Chinese nation. Under the influence of the common value ethics of Chinese sports civilization, ethnic traditional sports have gradually accumulated into a symbiotic Eastern sports culture mode through three levels of cultural symbiosis reserve: cognitive development, emotional generation, and value orientation. Based on the common cultural genes of ethnic sports, ethnic traditional sports have achieved a common understanding of sports culture, laying the foundation for stimulating the emotional belonging to the Chinese national community and consolidating the recognized value concepts.

    As a treasure of Chinese excellent traditional culture, ethnic traditional sports play a crucial role in enhancing cultural identity and maintaining national sentiment, and are an important carrier for constructing the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. The study utilizes literature, logical reasoning, case study analysis, and other research methods to systematically explore how ethnic traditional sports should seize new opportunities and face new challenges in the field of the new journey, so as to better play their important role in constructing the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. The study concludes that Chinese-style modernization, the policies issued by the state, and digital information technology provide a new engine, inject new momentum, and open up a new track for ethnic traditional sports to construct a common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. It also clarifies that the construction of Chinese-style modernization, the construction of a new culture in the new era, and the construction of Digital China put forward a new mission, a new goal, and a new requirement for ethnic traditional sports to construct a common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. Based on the above analysis, new measures are put forward: practicing the new development concept of ethnic traditional sports, forging the ideal belief of the Chinese nation; refining the unique spiritual symbols of ethnic traditional sports, condensing the consensus of the Chinese nation's values; accelerating the transformation of ethnic traditional sports culture innovation, strengthening the emotional belonging of the Chinese nation; advancing the communication and exchange of ethnic traditional sports, sublimating the cognitive experience of the Chinese nation.

    LIU Xian¹, LIN Dong-mei²
    2025, 45(1): 53-61. https://doi.org/10.13830/j.cnki.cn44-1129/g8.2025.01.006

    The consciousness of the Chinese national community is a sense of group belonging and a concept of a shared destiny based on cultural identity. Traditional sports rituals, using physical practice as a medium, construct a cross-regional, trans-dialectal cultural identity field. The shared symbols, emotional resonance, and physical dialogue in their ritual performances effectively bridge the identity fissures caused by geographical separation, linguistic differences, and memory fragmentation. By leveraging traditional sports rituals to deeply explore the inherent logic of “symbolic representation,” “historical roots,” and “spiritual consensus” in strengthening the consciousness of the Chinese national community, and by exploring the educational pathways through which traditional sports rituals reinforce this consciousness, we can not only form a systematic theoretical framework and practical paradigm but also facilitate a qualitative leap in the recognition of Chinese culture-from superficial symbolic cognition to deep internalization of values. Furthermore, this approach helps build an internationally influential discourse system for the dissemination of traditional sports culture, thereby providing solid cultural support and practical pathways for strengthening the consciousness of the Chinese national community.

    As an emerging culture rooted in video games and competitive culture, esports culture has gradually shifted from the “stigmatized” label of the past to the “positive” image of today. This paper uses literature, case analysis and other research methods to sort out the context, motivation and future direction of the rectification of Chinese e-sports culture.According to the research, the cultural image of domestic e-sports has experienced the change of cultural symbol from “electronic opium” to “competitive project”, the change of cultural identity from “Internet addiction youth” to “athletes”, and the change of cultural value from “negative” to “positive”. This is due to the continuous optimization of the domestic esports policy system, esports industry, esports cultural media and other industry environments, driving the society to gradually change the stereotype of the esports cultural image. Its full name is still a long way to go, should be based on the policy system construction as a guarantee to guide the healthy development of e-sports culture; Focus on cultural IP shaping, enhance the rendering power of e-sports cultural symbols; Based on the promotion of identity, enhance the cohesion of e-sports cultural groups; Take cross-border cooperation and expansion as the starting point to expand the influence of e-sports cultural value.
  • Gender Differences in Sports Participation and Related Debates

    Documents, reasoning and other research methods were adopted to study the gender differences in sports participation from an ethical perspective. The different attitudes towards the two genders in sports are not only a historical and traditional issue, but also a theoretical issue that calls for reflection and criticism. The restrictions and exclusion of women in sports activities are summarily for three reasons. The first is the so-called statistical “fact” that women’s sports performance is inferior to that of male athletes. The second is the consideration for protecting female athletes from injury. The third is the preference in sports for masculine characteristics. These reasons are carefully analyzed in this article, by showing the relevant theoretical arguments. The discussions shift from gender identification in sports to the issue of sexuality embodied in individuals in sports, from gender dualism in sports to dialectical thinking of gender.

    In recent years, the rapid development of the Internet economy has had a profound impact on the consumption pattern and consumption structure of Chinese residents. Based on CHFS data, this paper empirically examines the impact of Internet use on family sports consumption and its mechanism. The study found that Internet use can significantly promote family sports consumption, and the conclusion is still valid after robustness and endogenous tests. Further research found that the improvement of payment convenience is an important way for Internet use to promote family sports consumption. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the promotion effect of Internet use on sports consumption is more significant in families with “no elderly in the family”, higher education level and low use level, while for families with high use level, Internet use will inhibit their sports consumption. Therefore, the government should continue to promote the construction of Internet infrastructure, constantly improve the existing mobile payment service and risk prevention system, and deeply tap the potential of different family sports consumption to accelerate the integration of Internet use and family sports consumption.

    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has revoked International Boxing Association (IBA) accreditation, leaving the Olympic boxing system in a difficult situation. Through literature and textual analysis, this study argues that the IBA’s exclusion from the Olympics has gone through three phases: crisis (2016-2020), improvement (2020-2022), and a sharp turnaround (2022 to the present). The impact of international political struggles and the deficit in organizational legitimacy were the main reasons for the withdrawal of the accreditation of the IBA. The issue of boxing’s accreditation reflects the unequal power relationship between the IOC and the IFs, the complexity of sport and politics, and the intertwining of the concepts of professional autonomy and collaborative governance in the global sports industry.
  • Cognition, Representation, and Action: Weight Management and the Role of Sports
    SUN Ke
    2025, 45(1): 100-110. https://doi.org/10.13830/j.cnki.cn44-1129/g8.2025.01.011

    As a major public health concern, weight management has garnered widespread attention across society. Historically, societal perceptions of body weight have shifted dramatically, from the ancient appreciation of “robustness and corpulence” to the modern imperative of “weight loss and slimming.” Body weight has transcended mere biological characteristics to metaphorically represent diverse bodily narratives and aesthetic dissolutions within social and cultural contexts. It has become symbolic of disciplinary practices involving power and capital and metonymically represents moral hierarchies and identity markers. The proposal of a “Weight Management Year” is not only a proactive response to China’s health crisis but also a strategic measure addressing structural contradictions within the national healthcare system and demographic transitions. Furthermore, it serves as an assurance of healthy human capital to support the nation’s industrial transformation. Sports hold strategic significance and practical value in weight management initiatives. It is imperative to leverage the unique strengths of sports in this domain by fully utilizing the advantages of exercise intervention, scientific fitness, health promotion, industrial transformation, value orientation, and behavioral demonstration. Sports should actively undertake the unavoidable mission of weight management in the current era, making body weight a visible indicator of improvements in national health and an effective barometer for advancing the prevention and control of chronic diseases.
