武毅军是满清政府为维护其政权,在寻求富国强兵的诉求下,建立的一支典型近代化标准的军事力量。武毅军有别于传统的八旗、绿营及湘淮各军,它从丁勇的挑选、管理、教育、训练到部队的编制、官制、装备等全部采用德国近代陆军制度及操练方法,由此揭开了中国陆军近代化的序幕,是中国由传统军制向相对先进的近代军制演变的重大转折。在晚清政府学习采用西方军事训练方法图自强之道的同时,西方体育也随之而来,兵操体育的探讨对于辨明中国近代体育的发展脉络显得格外重要。本文将探讨武毅军的建制背景和德式兵操具体内容,以及武毅军军事操练所含涉的兵操体育。 Wu Yi-jun was a typical modern standard military force established by the Manchu government to safeguard its regime and seek the rich and the strong. Different from the traditional Eight Banners, Green Camps and Hunan-Huai armies, Wu Yi-jun used all modern German military systems and training methods from the selection, management, education and training of Ding Yong to the establishment of military units, official systems, and equipment. The prelude of the Chinese Army’s modernization is a major turning point in China’s evolution from the traditional military system to the relatively advanced modern military system. In the late Qing dynasty, the government learned the road to self-improvement by adopting the method of western military training. Meanwhile, Western sports also came along. The discussion of barbaric sports was especially important for identifying the development of modern Chinese sports. This article will discuss the institutional background of Wu Yijun and the contents of the German Barracks, as well as the military exercises involving Wu Bing military operations involving barracks.
