Up to this day, although sports form and content have changed a lot, its essence remains unchanged. In the 1970s and 1980s, LIN Xiao-feng, a contemporary scholar, put forward the concept of “true sport”; his sport ideology inherited and deepened “the true of sport” by MAO Ze-dong, theorized and scientized true sport. Under the background of Chinese sport in the new period, the ideological connotation of true sport will boost the sustainable healthy development of sports undertakings of China, and play an irreplaceable role in guiding the organic combination of education and sport.
