The educational purpose of learning from the West for the sake of physical education in middle schools fully embodies China's thought of using physical education for the purpose of learning from the West.

Its essence is the product of the combination of feudal culture and western capitalist culture, which had a great influence on China's modern political thought. In the early stage, it played a positive role in breaking through the obstruction of feudal die-hards, introducing western natural science, and promoting the modernization of industry and military and the emergence of new education in China. Later, it became the ideological weapon of Qing rulers against bourgeois reform and bourgeois revolution.

The early thought of "learning from China and using the West" played a positive role in breaking through the obstruction of feudal die-hards, introducing western natural science, and promoting the modernization of China's industry and military and the emergence of new education. Later, it became the ideological weapon of the Qing rulers against bourgeois reform and bourgeois revolution. As the initial combination of Chinese and western cultures, it has its historical rationality.

However, as a cultural integration scheme and educational purpose, the application of China culture and western culture is crude, and it is a direct grafting without overcoming the inherent contradictions between China and the West, which will inevitably be replaced by the new situation.
