该著作是张宝强博士在其博士学位论文的基础上修改、充实而完成的。张宝强是福建师范大学与首都体育学院联合培养的2011公博士生，我担任他的导师。其毕业论文因质量较高荣获福建师范大学优秀博士学位论文。

体育留学教育是中国近代以来教育制度的基本组成部分，体育留学生是中国留学生群体中的一员。目前学界对体育留学教育、体育留学生问题关注不多，也鲜有全面、系统的探讨。张宝强博士的这一研究成果，在拓展留学史、体育史等研究领域，具有较高的理论价值和现实意义。

从总体上看，该书具有这样几个特点：一是选题较新，有研究价值。从理论上来看，该研究属于尚需开发的一个新领域。同时当前赴海外留学大潮方兴未艾，在实践上有许多问题亟须进行探索和回应。二是跨学科研究特色明显。该选题至少涉及历史学、教育学、体育学、传播学、跨文化交流学等领域，正是在这些学科的交叉地带，容易出新思路、新观点与新成果。三是逻辑清晰，分析全面。全书既有纵向的历史梳理，也有横向的贡献总结；既有群体研究，也有个案分析。特别是把研究的主体部分——体育留学生在中国体育发展过程中的众多贡献，从器物层、制度层、思想层等三个层面进行归纳、总结，让人对体育留学生的历史作用一目了然。四是有新的见解和新的贡献。如作者对近代以来体育留学教育中“主导作用递减”等规律的凝练，对体育留学生“享有突出的跨文化比较优势”等文化特质的概括，以及“维护世界体育文化多样化”等历史使命的提出等，是作者得出的新观点、新见解，在该领域有一定的独到性，颇具学术价值。而《中国体育留学生名录（1903—1963）》的编制，又是在文献资料方面对该领域的重要贡献。另外，全书资料丰富，引证严谨，文笔简练，行文流畅，具有一定的思想性和可读性。

该书纵贯60年，横跨多学科，虽成果丰硕，但也略有不足。如在研究方法方面，若在文献分析的基础上结合口述史研究，方法上会更丰满，论证上也更具说服力；研究对象多集中于体育专业留学生范畴，而在近代史上许多非体育专业的留学生对中国体育也做出了重要成就，如张伯苓（出国学习教育）、王正廷（赴海外攻读法律）、陈家琦（出国学习医学）等，如对这些重要历史人物有所关照与对比，研究会更全面一些。

明末清初著名学者顾炎武在《日知录》卷十九“著书之难”中指出，凡著书立说必须“古人之所未及就，后世之所不可无，而后为之”。这句话对当今著书、撰文仍有重要的启示意义。希望张宝强博士以此书的出版为契机，再接再厉，继续攀登，在体育学术道路上不断前进，是为序。

Zhou Dengsong's work was revised and enriched by Dr. Zhang Baoqiang on the basis of his doctoral dissertation. Zhang Baoqiang is a 2011 doctoral student jointly trained by Fujian Normal University and Capital Institute of Physical Education, and I serve as his supervisor. His graduation thesis was awarded the excellent doctoral dissertation of Fujian Normal University for its high quality. Physical education is a basic part of China's modern education system, and sports students are a member of the Chinese student community. At present, the academic circles do not pay much attention to the issue of sports study abroad education and sports students, and there are few comprehensive and systematic discussions. Dr. Zhang Baoqiang's research results have high theoretical value and practical significance in expanding the research fields of study abroad history and sports history. On the whole, the book has the following characteristics: First, the topic selection is relatively new and has research value. In theory, the research is a new area that needs to be developed. At the same time, the current tide of studying abroad is in the ascendant, and there are many problems in practice that urgently need to be explored and responded. Second, interdisciplinary research has obvious characteristics. At least the topics involved in the fields of history, education, physical education, communication, and cross-cultural communication, it is at the intersection of these disciplines that new ideas, new perspectives and new achievements are easy to produce. Third, the logic is clear and the analysis is comprehensive. The book has both a vertical historical combing and a horizontal contribution summary; There are both group studies and case studies. In particular, the main part of the research, the many contributions of sports students in the process of sports development in China, are summarized and summarized from three levels: the material layer, the system layer, and the ideological level, so that people can understand the historical role of sports students at a glance. Fourth, there are new insights and new contributions. For example, the author's condensation of the law of "diminishing leading role" in physical education in modern times, the summary of cultural characteristics such as "enjoying outstanding cross-cultural comparative advantages" of sports students, and the historical mission of "safeguarding the diversity of world sports culture" are new views and insights obtained by the author, which have certain uniqueness in this field and have academic value. The compilation of the Directory of Chinese Sports Students (1903-1963) is an important contribution to this field in terms of literature. In addition, the whole book is rich in information, rigorous in citation, concise in writing, fluent in writing, and has a certain degree of thought and readability. The book spans 60 years and spans multiple disciplines, and although it is fruitful, it is also slightly inadequate. For example, in terms of research methods, if oral history research is combined on the basis of literature analysis, the method will be fuller and the argument more convincing; The research objects are mostly concentrated in the field of international students majoring in sports, and in modern history, many non-sports majors have also made important achievements in Chinese sports, such as Zhang Boling (studying abroad to study education), Wang Zhengting (studying law overseas), Chen Jiaqi (studying medicine abroad), etc. Gu Yanwu, a famous scholar at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, pointed out in "The Difficulty of Writing Books" in volume 19 of the "Records of Daily Knowledge" that all books must be written and said that "what the ancients did not reach, what future generations must do, and then do it." This sentence still has important enlightenment significance for today's books and articles. It is hoped that Dr. Zhang Baoqiang will take the publication of this book as an opportunity to continue to climb and continue to advance on the academic road of sports.
