Collective Memory, Academic Practice and Discipline DevelopmentThe Growth Narrative of the Post-80s Martial Arts Scholars

In recent years, in the process of researching the major proposition of "accelerating the construction of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics", it has become an important paradigm to trace the development of disciplines and academics from the academic practice and life course of academic producers (scholars). As an important part of the construction of sport science with Chinese characteristics, the attention to martial arts scholars will become the breakthrough of the research. Since the reform and opening up, a complete martial arts (Wushu) talent training system and academic production field have been formed with the efforts of several generations in China. Born in the 1980s, these scholars are both witnesses and beneficiaries of the development of martial arts. The martial arts fever in the 1980s, the common desire to study martial arts, and the strenuous study of postgraduate all endowed them with distinct time characteristics and problem awareness, which determined their distinctive academic practice. Although the post-80s martial arts scholars have formed an academic increment in the traditional direction of the traditional disciplines such as Wushu history, Wushu education and Wushu culture, the "inadequacy" in the research field and the "unprominence" of the research subject have become the bottleneck that hinder their academic development. The post-80s martial arts scholars' special growth experience not only gives them the vitality of academic production, but leaves room for their improvement.
