The Current Situation of Taichi Boxing among International Learners in Jiangsu Universities and its Influence on Learners' Mental Health

Abstract

Taichi boxing is not only beneficial for physical fitness, but also an integral part of Chinese folklore and traditional sports culture, as one of the most representative items of Chinese folklore and traditional sports culture. Taichi boxing is not only beneficial to the body and mind, but also helps spread the nation's excellent traditional culture. Taichi boxing in colleges and universities has also ushered in new opportunities due to the general environment and trend, and it will be of great value to cultivate the physical and mental health of college learners. It is necessary to investigate the growth of Taichi boxing among international learners enrolled in colleges and universities, and the survey data will serve as a baseline for future research. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the current situation of Taichi boxing and its influence on learners' mental health among international learners in Jiangsu colleges and universities, to summarize the regular and special Taichi boxing activities available to international learners in each college, and to analyze the training status of Taichi boxing in Jiangsu colleges and universities. International learners have a strong desire to practice international Taichi boxing. However, because these learners come from a variety of countries and ethnic and cultural backgrounds, their personal circumstances, Chinese language proficiency, thinking styles, national mentality, cognitive habits, and study methods all vary, affecting their Taichi boxing instruction and practice. From the perspective of study content and course purpose, the majority of international learners come to China primarily to learn the Chinese language and experience Chinese culture. From the perspective of program design and course difficulties, the majority of colleges and universities are ineffective at providing Taichi boxing instruction to international learners. The courses' content includes some comparisons between Chinese Taichi boxing culture and the cultures of various countries, with the goal of increasing learners' interest in practicing Taichi boxing and bridging the gap between international learners and teachers. According to the course assessment, the primary purpose of the examination in the majority of universities is to ascertain learners' comprehension of the fundamental content of Taichi boxing. The thesis concludes that if the status of Taichi boxing among international learners in Jiangsu colleges and universities is to be improved, two aspects of the international learners' martial arts program's management and training systems must be improved. Taichi boxing's dissemination among international learners at Jiangsu universities can be enhanced through the development of selected contents, the most effective training mode, the most optimal classroom format, teachers who are integrated with science and practice, effective Taichi boxing propaganda, and regularly organized training competitions and exchange activities. Only by combining scientific popularization and instructional improvement can Taichi boxing's development among international learners at Jiangsu universities be more stable and sustainable.
