Inheriting Chinese Traditional Sports: An Integrated Model for Promoting Emei Martial Arts Development
Abstrct
Emei Martial Arts, as a symbol of China's rich heritage, holds immense cultural significance and offers numerous health benefits. This study seeks to explore the correlation between the motivation, sense of belonging, and commitment of individuals practicing Emei martial arts. Additionally, it examines the influence of Emei Martial Arts' cultural identity as a mediator and moderator in this relationship. A stratified sampling method was employed to survey Emei Martial Arts practitioners in 40 training centres, resulting in the collection of 445 valid questionnaires. Factor analysis was conducted on the data using AMOS 26.0. The study found that motivations for practicing martial arts (enjoyment, mastery, competition/ego, physical condition, psychological condition, and appearance) had a significant positive impact on adherence to Emei Martial Arts practice (β = 0.22, t = 3.964, p < 0.001). On the other hand, there was no notable connection between affiliation and the expectations of others when it came to adhering to martial arts practice. The cultural identity of Emei Martial Arts plays a significant role in motivating individuals and ensuring their commitment to practicing martial arts (β = 0.074, p < 0.001). It also influences the connection between perceived belonging and exercise adherence (β = 0.038, p < 0.001). The perceived belonging of Emei Martial Arts practitioners had a significant positive effect on adherence (β = 0.24, t = 4.800, p < 0.001). All research hypotheses were confirmed. This study aims to enhance the research perspectives on Emei Martial Arts, thereby contributing to its preservation and promotion. Additionally, it will provide valuable insights for investigating other martial arts and traditional sports.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
