The purpose of this study was to clarify the structural relationship between “SHE” (Chinese archey in ancient times) and “SHELI” (ceremonial system of Chinese archey in ancient times) in Confucianism and then to indicate its implication to sport education. The method of this study was to treat the fundamental literature in Confucianism. The author especially attached importance to Japanese interpretations, because they give us a definite interpretation.
“SHE” was one of the cultural movement forms, while “SHELI” was a system of ceremonial form of “SHE”. In Confucianal education, the aim was to make students become a perfectman- “JUNZI” (ancient Chinese gentleman). The function of “SHE” was not only to enhance physical ability, but also to embody the virtue of “YU” (Brave) as “JUNZI”. Based on this function, the role of “SHELI” was to embody many virtues in Chinese society.
The form and value of “SHE” and “SHELI” in the past were entirely different from modern sport. However, it seems that this research on “SHE” and “SHELI” will contribute to sport education studies because of the coincidence of the social function of the communities.
