Counter Measures for the Popularization of Chinese Fitness Qigong in Africa from the Perspective of the InternationalDissemination of Chinese Culture ——A Case Study of Benin

The fitness qigong, as the traditional means of Chinese health-care culture, boasts its own characteristics and advantages: it gives emphasis on the cultural deposits, etiquettes and self-perfection. A brief introduction is given to the advantages and present situation for the fitness qigong popularization inBenin. Starting off from the survey of the commonly-seen sports activities in Africa, a bottleneck restraint analysis is made of the popularization of fitness qigong in Africa and it is found that: first, the theory is too abstract; the teaching masters are far too insufficient; cultural difference is too huge. And thus counter measures for the sustainable fitness qigong development in Africa are put forth: standardization; policy formulation; domestication and pluralization. Gradual industrialization by full use of the radiation effect, thus a hopeful and all-round development of fitness qigong in Africa can be expected.
