21世紀(jì),科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)展日新月異,發(fā)明創(chuàng)造層出不窮,知識(shí)更新日趨頻繁,全民學(xué)習(xí)、終身學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)成為適應(yīng)經(jīng)濟(jì)與社會(huì)發(fā)展的基本途徑。近年來,我國高等教育取得了跨越式的發(fā)展,毛入學(xué)率由1998年的8%迅速增長到2008年的23.3%,已經(jīng)進(jìn)入到大眾化的發(fā)展階段,這其中高等繼續(xù)教育發(fā)揮了重要的作用。同時(shí),高等繼續(xù)教育作為“傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校教育向終身教育發(fā)展的一種新型教育制度”,對(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)“形成全民學(xué)習(xí)、終身學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)習(xí)型社會(huì)”、“構(gòu)建終身教育體系”的宏偉目標(biāo),發(fā)揮著其他教育形式不可替代的作用。
2l世紀(jì),科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)展日新月異,發(fā)明創(chuàng)造層出不窮,知識(shí)更新日趨頻繁,全民學(xué)習(xí)、終身學(xué)習(xí)已經(jīng)成為適應(yīng)經(jīng)濟(jì)與社會(huì)發(fā)展的基本途徑。近年來,我國高等教育取得了跨越式的發(fā)展,毛入學(xué)率由1998年的8%迅速增長到2008年的23.3%,已經(jīng)進(jìn)入到大眾化的發(fā)展階段,這其中高等繼續(xù)教育發(fā)揮了重要的作用。同時(shí),高等繼續(xù)教育作為“傳統(tǒng)學(xué)校教育向終身教育發(fā)展的一種新型教育制度”,對(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)“形成全民學(xué)習(xí)、終身學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)習(xí)型社會(huì)”、“構(gòu)建終身教育體系”的宏偉目標(biāo),發(fā)揮著其他教育形式不可替代的作用。
目前,我國高等繼續(xù)教育的發(fā)展規(guī)模已占全國高等教育的一半左右,隨著我國產(chǎn)業(yè)結(jié)構(gòu)的調(diào)整、傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)部門的改造以及新興產(chǎn)業(yè)部門的建立,各種崗位上數(shù)以千萬計(jì)的勞動(dòng)者,需要通過邊工作邊學(xué)習(xí)來調(diào)整自己的知識(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)、提高自己的知識(shí)水平,以適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟(jì)與社會(huì)發(fā)展的要求。可見,我國高等繼續(xù)教育的發(fā)展,既肩負(fù)著重大的歷史使命,又面臨著難得的發(fā)展機(jī)遇。
我國的高等繼續(xù)教育要抓住機(jī)遇發(fā)展,完成自己的歷史使命,從根本上說就是要全面提高教育教學(xué)質(zhì)量,這涉及多方面的工作,但抓好教材建設(shè)是提高教學(xué)質(zhì)量的基礎(chǔ)和中心環(huán)節(jié)。眾所周知,高等繼續(xù)教育的培養(yǎng)對(duì)象主要是已經(jīng)走上各種生產(chǎn)或工作崗位的從業(yè)人員,這就決定了高等繼續(xù)教育的目標(biāo)是培養(yǎng)能適應(yīng)新世紀(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展要求的動(dòng)手能力強(qiáng)、具有創(chuàng)新能力的應(yīng)用型人才。因此,高等繼續(xù)教育教材的編寫“要本著學(xué)用結(jié)合的原則,重視從業(yè)人員的知識(shí)更新,提高廣大從業(yè)人員的思想文化素質(zhì)和職業(yè)技能”,體現(xiàn)出高等繼續(xù)教育的針對(duì)性、實(shí)用性和職業(yè)性特色。
為適應(yīng)我國高等繼續(xù)教育發(fā)展的新形勢、培養(yǎng)應(yīng)用型人才、滿足廣大學(xué)員的學(xué)習(xí)需要,中國人民大學(xué)出版社邀請(qǐng)了國內(nèi)知名專家、學(xué)者對(duì)我國高等繼續(xù)教育的教學(xué)改革與教材建設(shè)進(jìn)行專題研討,成立了教材編審委員會(huì),聯(lián)合中國人民大學(xué)、中國政法大學(xué)、東北財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)、武漢大學(xué)、山西財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)、東北師范大學(xué)、江西師范大學(xué)、南昌航空大學(xué)、華中科技大學(xué)、黑龍江大學(xué)等30多所高校,共同編撰了“2l世紀(jì)高等繼續(xù)教育精品教材”,計(jì)劃在兩三年內(nèi)陸續(xù)推出百種高等繼續(xù)教育精品系列教材。教材編審委員會(huì)對(duì)該系列教材的作者進(jìn)行了嚴(yán)格的遴選,編寫教材的專家、教授都有著豐富的繼續(xù)教育教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和較高的專業(yè)學(xué)術(shù)水平。

綜合練習(xí)
Wushu (also known as kung-fu or martial arts) is one of the typical demonstrations of traditional Chinese culture. It is a sport which utilizes both brawn and brain.
The theory of Wushu is based upon classical Chinese philosophy, while the skills of Wushu consist of various forms of fighting: fist fights, weapon fights, and other fighting routines (including such offence and defense acts as kicking, hitting, throwing, holding, chopping and thrusting) and unarmed combats.
Wushu is not only a sporting exercise but also an artistic form. It is used to cure illness as well as for self-defense and is a comprehensive form of culture of the human body.
Wushu enjoys a long history and great popularity in China. Thanks to its uniqueness and charisma originating from traditional Oriental culture, Wushu is captivating the attention of more and more people in other nations.
As one of the earliest and long-lasting sports, Wushu has developed its own characteristics over time. Major characteristics are listed below:
Because of its long history incorporating differences in culture, ideology, region and usages, Wushu has developed into a great variety of schools and styles. While some schools emphasize the use of fist and hand technique, others emphasize leg technique and footwork. Some take interest in the variation of acts whereas others prefer simplicity.
Some focus on keeping opponents at arms and legs length while others like to fight in close contact. The assortment of schools and styles displays the colorful features of Wushu and gratifies the various needs of people.
Wushu includes the use of many weapons. Chinese ancients named the Wushu arsenal the "Eighteen Arms", but there are many more in use. Almost all fights are accompanied by weapon usage of one kind or another. The combination of fist fights and weapon usage allows for a fuller and more efficient application of Wushu skills while sharpening the insight of combat and control and enriching the program of Wushu exercise.
