65438+February 1, china national radio broadcast gymnastics music for the first time.
Once broadcast gymnastics was introduced, it was highly valued by leaders at all levels, which was inseparable from the urgent need at that time.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the average life expectancy was as low as 35 years, and the infant mortality rate was as high as 20%. 1950 when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, a simple physical examination for enlistment kept many young people out of the army. Many of them are either too short or too thin, and they have many diseases. Now there is a set of broadcast gymnastics that can not only strengthen the body but also be fresh and interesting. It is very happy to implement it from top to bottom. Because the broadcast gymnastics was to be broadcast at that time, the central and local people's broadcasting stations became "standard bearers". They have invited local education, health, trade unions, youth and women's organizations to discuss with them, and organized a "Radio Gymnastics Promotion Committee". A large number of "broadcast gymnastics backbone training classes", "broadcast gymnastics teaching stations" and "broadcast gymnastics promotion groups" have sprung up all over the country.
On June 20th, 1952, the National Sports Federation was formally announced. I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional. The People's Daily published the article "Broadcast Gymnastics Widely Promoted in China" the next day, which summarized in detail the fruitful achievements of broadcast gymnastics promotion in the past six months. At that time, China People's Broadcasting Station and 40 people's broadcasting stations broadcast gymnastics programs in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. These programs occupy 52 wavelengths every day, totaling 1205 minutes. At the same time, People's Broadcasting Equipment Factory also worked overtime. In order to meet the needs of areas with inconvenient listening or insufficient listening equipment, it supplied 3,800 "Radio Gymnastics" records.
According to the incomplete statistics of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and other cities 13, the number of people participating in broadcast gymnastics reached10.48 million; Among them, the students in various schools are the most enthusiastic. There are 230,000 students in Beijing alone, and more than 80% students in various schools in Shanghai do broadcast gymnastics every day. In September, 1952, 7-year-old Xie Dong went to an arsenal children's primary school in Chongqing. Physical education class's first class is to learn the first set of broadcast gymnastics. At that time, the school playground was built on the rolling hills and divided into three pieces. High school students (grades 5 and 6) are doing boy exercises in a playground, while primary and secondary school students (grades 3 and 4) are "playing lotus guns", while these junior students are learning the newly promulgated broadcast gymnastics.
"Boys are hard, very powerful to do, and difficult to move; Playing the lotus gun means hollowing out the bamboo pole, putting copper coins in it, which is more than one meter long, and then playing everywhere. " My brother is four years older than Xie Dongda and is in the fifth grade. He pretends to be a boy's drill in the uniform of the school every day. But the next year, boys' exercises and lotus guns were gone, because broadcast gymnastics was fresh and interesting, and the movements were very handsome. Those big brothers and sisters took the little ones to learn broadcast gymnastics.
Right: Children's songs-we do radio exercises together.
The lyrics are as follows:
Children's song "Let's do radio exercises together"
You're early, I'm early,
Let's do radio exercises together.
Stretch your legs,
Bend over,
Let's see who did it well.
Hello, I'm fine,
Let's do radio exercises together.
Take good exercise for the motherland,
Ouch,
How happy we are!
This nursery rhyme describes that children also get up early to do morning exercises. They do broadcast gymnastics together.
In the 1970s, broadcast gymnastics ruled the world.
"Develop sports and enhance people's physique; Exercise and defend the motherland. " This slogan, which we used to be very familiar with, contains a strong desire of a nation: health is the capital of revolution, and exercise is to defend and build the motherland!
Before the reform and opening up, although there were basic sports facilities in some places, they were rarely very simple, or even there were no large stadiums at all. In the middle school of the 1970s, as long as it blows, the dust all over the sky makes people unable to open their eyes. I accidentally fell on the court, and the cinder made people bleed. Playing football on the muddy ground in rainy days, one foot deep and one foot shallow, after the weather clears up, the mud dries up and there are muddy footprints all over the field. At that time, it was unthinkable to have a perfect stadium and a green lawn.
In the sixties and seventies of last century, almost everyone was accompanied by broadcast gymnastics when they were students. At that time, even earlier, with the sound of gymnastics music on the radio, the scene of "let's do exercises together" was spectacular and had been deeply buried in people's nagging memories. Broadcast gymnastics is the embryonic form of modern body culture and modern civil politics. In the era of construction in full swing, the government advocates that physical fitness is the capital of revolution, physical exercise is the means, and the goal is better work. It is not your choice to take part in mass fitness activities, but the needs of the revolution. For many people, broadcast gymnastics is more of a sign to remind people of the beginning of work and study time and to remind people to activate their bodies.
