What lies behind its popularity in modern China is a deep concern with the idea of national salvation that is prevalent in colonial countries. It should also be seen as part of an obsession with body, which manifested itself in modern Chinese literary/cultural practice. Although scholars have recently devoted much attention to the general roles tiyu plays in this process of nation building, I find there is a lack of systematic examination of the relationship between physical activity of the female body and the tropes of modernization and nation building in both the Republican and PRC periods. 2007 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1413476520 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1413476520 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
