Abstract
The history of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic clearly showed the close
relationship between sport, nationalism and politics, and reflected the changes in Chinese
society and Chinese people’s view of their identity as well as their way of thinking. Sport
had a great importance, not only for the construction of Chinese nationalism and
national consciousness, but also for the eventual transformation of China from a celestial
empire into a modern nation state. It played an important part in Chinese nationalists’
strategy of restoring the power of the nation.
