Wushu is not only a sport, but also a culture. This is the biggest feature that distinguishes Wushu from other sports. China Wushu has a long history. The following is a brief history of Wushu development that I compiled for you. I hope you like it.
A Brief History of Wushu Development Wushu has a long history in China, which originated from the productive labor of our ancient ancestors. People gradually accumulated the skills of chopping, chopping and stabbing in hunting and production activities. These primitive forms of offensive and defensive techniques are all low-level, not divorced from the category of production technology, but they are the basis for the formation of Wushu technology. Wushu, as an independent social and cultural phenomenon, is synchronized with the emergence of Chinese national civilization.
Wushu sprouted in primitive society. In the era of clan commune, tribal wars often occurred, so we constantly sum up the experience of fighting on the battlefield. The relatively successful hitting, stabbing, boxing and legs were imitated, taught and practiced, which promoted the germination of Wushu. Wushu was formed in slave society. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, in order to meet the needs of actual combat, Wushu developed into practicality and standardization. Martial arts activities in Xia Dynasty mainly developed in the following two aspects: first, martial arts activities in the army, and second, school education based on martial arts.
In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, hunting, as an important means of martial arts training, appeared in Shang Dynasty. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, soldiers were trained with "martial dance" to boost morale. Shooting and dancing were also listed as one of the educational contents in the schools established in the Zhou Dynasty. According to legend, the Book of Changes, an important work in the history of China martial arts, appeared in the Zhou Dynasty. This book contains rich philosophical thoughts, which has a far-reaching impact on the development of China's health preservation. It is easy to have Tai Chi, that is, the second instrument gives birth to four elephants, and the four elephants give birth to gossip. The emergence of Taiji theory laid the foundation of China Wushu system. After entering the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, each Warring States period attached great importance to the application of technology in the battlefield. Qi Henggong held a "gladiator" in the spring and autumn to select heroes from all over the world. During this period, the manufacture of swords and kendo have achieved unprecedented development.
Wushu developed in feudal society. Since Qin and Han Dynasties, wrestling and fencing have prevailed. With the custom of "banquet dance", dancing with musical instruments often appears when drinking. For example, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended to serve the public" in the "Hongmen Banquet" recorded in Historical Records of Xiang Yu is the embodiment of this form. In addition, there are "knife dance" and "dance troupe", which are entertaining, but technically closer to today's routine sports.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts system has been implemented, which has promoted the development of martial arts, such as awarding honorary titles to soldiers with special skills. General Pei Min's swordsmanship was dominant for a while, and it was called "three unique skills" in Tang Dynasty together with Pei Min's swordsmanship, Li Bai's poems and Zhang Xu's cursive script. It can be seen that Wushu, as a cultural form, has been quite influential.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, folk Wushu activities with Wushu organizations as the main body flourished, and there appeared "English Club" and "Archery Club" which practiced guns and sticks. Due to the active commercial economy, there are "vagrants" who wander the rivers and lakes, practice martial arts and buy works of art for a living. There are not only solo exercises, but also duet exercises.
The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a period of great development of Wushu, with many schools and different kinds of boxing. There are dozens of boxing methods such as Changquan, Monkey Boxing, Shaolin Boxing and Neijia Boxing. At the same time, Tai Ji Chuan, Xingyiquan and Bagua Boxing were formed.
In modern times, Wushu adapted to the changes of the times and gradually became an organic part of modern sports in China. During the Republic of China, many martial arts organizations such as boxing clubs and samurai clubs appeared among the people. 1927, the Central Wushu Museum was established in Nanjing. 1936 China Wushu Team went to Berlin Olympic Games to perform.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Wushu has developed vigorously, and Wushu, as an excellent national heritage, has been inherited, sorted out and improved. Wushu associations at all levels have been established, and the state has set up special institutions to carry out Wushu sports, and Wushu has been listed as an official competition. 1999, the International Wushu Federation was accepted as a full member of the International Olympic Committee. This is another historic breakthrough in the development of Wushu, which means that Wushu will soon become an Olympic event in the near future, which means the further realization of the grand goal of "pushing Wushu to the world"!
The Development Prospect of Wushu Since the reform and opening up, with the deepening of the political and economic system reform, the ancient Wushu movement in China has also been full of vitality. Under the guidance of the policy of "excavating and sorting out, inheriting and developing, popularizing and improving", great achievements have been made in the past ten years. From the 1 1 Asian Games in Beijing, he became a member of the Asian Olympic family and successfully held four Wushu championships. From the establishment of the International Wushu Federation to just being recognized as an international single organization by the International Olympic Committee. Wushu has appeared in the international sports world with a brand-new look, realizing the dream of several generations of Wulin people to revitalize Chinese Wushu and the promise that Wushu originated in China and belongs to the world. It can be said that China Wushu has entered the stage of comprehensive promotion and development.
China Wushu is one of the important heritages of China traditional culture. After thousands of years of development, there are many schools and forms, and the audience is growing, vast and spectacular. With the influence of modern sports thoughts on China, China Wushu has been transformed into modern competitive sports for a hundred years. Nowadays, Wushu is not only one of the 99 special events in China, but also a competitive event of comprehensive events at home and abroad such as the National Games and the Asian Games. Even entering the Olympic Games has reached a critical stage, only one step away.
1 Modern Living Condition of Traditional Wushu in China
As we all know, after thousands of years of history, China's traditional martial arts, with the development of science and technology, social progress, martial arts in the military.
The status of the field of affairs has declined, and it has also declined as a means of personal self-defense and national struggle, so its survival can no longer be aimed at "technical attacks." In peacetime, especially now, in such an era of science and technology, its existence function and value are more just as an effective means to improve people's quality of life. China's traditional Wushu has long attached importance to the theory of attacking skills over attacking skills, and only a few people will be engaged in the work of expounding the function and value of Wushu, resulting in the popularity of Wushu in China being far less than that of Olympic sports.
The ancient society of China was a "people-oriented" society, which paid attention to the unity of heaven and man and the theory of Tao and Qi. Affected by this, martial arts practitioners have formed such a remarkable feature: through physical exercise, they can realize physical activities from the outside to the inside, from the outside to the inside, and from the outside to the bottom, thus promoting the sublimation of metaphysical intangible spirit and further shaping their ideal personality. Western sports advocate the external form of the body and no longer attach importance to the connotation of action. With the popularization and publicity of modern sports ideas and western sports concepts in the world, China Wushu has also been influenced by it, paying more and more attention to performance and aesthetics, and losing its traditional connotation and essence in some aspects.
2 Wushu goes to the world
As a valuable cultural heritage of China, Wushu is attracting worldwide attention. According to incomplete statistics, at present, 70 or 80 countries and regions have carried out Wushu, and there have been "Wushu fever" and "Kung Fu fever". Foreigners call China Wushu one of the representatives of oriental culture. Many countries and regions invite coach China to teach martial arts or send people to visit and study in China. With the emergence of "Wushu fever" in many countries and regions, Wushu groups have sprung up all over the world, promoting the development of Wushu in breadth and depth.
Wushu is naturally a worldwide sport because of its own characteristics. As a manifestation of traditional culture, Wushu has penetrated into the national style, habits, psychology, feelings, thinking and appreciation in the course of thousands of years of historical development. In a sense, Wushu can be said to be a microcosm of China culture. Since Wushu is a kind of culture, it is obviously feasible for Wushu to carry out international cultural exchange in the form of national culture.
3 Wushu enters the Olympic Games
Undoubtedly, the development direction of China Wushu should be based on national tradition and internationalization. The internationalization of China Wushu is also the way for Wushu to move towards world sports. The symbol of its internationalization is undoubtedly entering the Olympic Games.
First, the necessity of China Wushu entering the Olympic Games: 1 Wushu originated in China and belongs to the world; The combination of Wushu and the Olympic Movement will make the Olympic Movement more perfect and harmonious.
Second, the feasibility of China Wushu entering the Olympic Games: 1 stable and perfect competition system; 2? The development of international Wushu organizations; 3. Successful experience of Wushu competitions at home and abroad.
3. Obstacles for China Wushu to enter the Olympic Games: 1 After the launch of the Olympic "Weight Loss Plan", old Olympic events such as softball and baseball were swept out of the house, and other events were constantly adjusted or merged, making it more difficult for a new event to join the Olympic Games; Although Wushu is a single sport with the largest number of employees, reaching 70 million people in the world, to a large extent, these people are still concentrated in a few countries. Because of this, the international popularity of Wushu is not enough, which has become the biggest obstacle for Wushu to enter the Olympic Games. In addition to the slimming and popularization of the Olympic Games, the nature and characteristics of Wushu itself are also a huge obstacle for Wushu to enter the Olympic Games. The quantitative standards of Wushu are different, so it is difficult to determine a unified standard. Many Wushu practitioners specialize in a certain genre, and if they want to compete for sects, it will violate the development law of Wushu itself. China's martial arts are colorful. If they are all made into a unified Olympic Wushu, it will violate the original intention of promoting Wushu culture and affect the diversified development of Wushu.
Two views on the influence of Wushu "Olympic bid" on China Wushu.
There have been two voices about Wushu entering the Olympic Games. One is that Wushu entering the Olympic Games is beneficial to the development of Wushu, and the other is that Wushu entering the Olympic Games is not conducive to the development of Wushu.
Supporters believe that the Olympic Games can give us another platform to develop Wushu, which is very beneficial to the promotion and innovation of Wushu in China. 1. The Olympic Games can effectively promote and improve the international recognition of Wushu. One of the keys to the development of Wushu is how to introduce this oriental Wushu from Asia to the world. The Olympic Games can show the little-known side of Wushu through the powerful power of the media, and let all mankind further understand the mystery of China Wushu. The development of Wushu is not only related to the wisdom and enthusiasm of Wushu practitioners, but also needs financial support, and the difficulties in this respect can be greatly solved after bidding for the Olympic Games. The communication platform of the Olympic Games will promote the innovation and breakthrough of Wushu. When Wushu enters the Olympic Games, it can provide learning and communication opportunities for Wushu elites with different cultural backgrounds, and bring new opportunities for the future of Wushu.
Opponents believe that China Wushu has a long history and rich connotations. It pays attention to inheriting the whole organic culture including pedigree, value orientation, philosophical thinking, aesthetic feelings and even lifestyle, and advocates the realm of winning without recruiting. Its development follows the inheritance of cultural blood and the promotion of Wushu spirit, and the Olympic Games is a city's sports platform, which is contrary to the connotation of Wushu development. 1. Wushu entering the Olympic Games is not conducive to the continuation and innovation of Wushu's own inheritance pedigree. 2. The fair competition pursued by the Olympic Games requires us to introduce a unified set of difficulty standards and evaluation rules in performance routines, which stifles the development and innovation space of Wushu itself. 3. Wushu entering the Olympic Games is not conducive to the promotion and dissemination of Wushu spirit. The Olympic Games advocates a higher, faster and stronger embodiment of human beings' idea of getting rid of the bondage of nature and pursuing the limit of physical fitness. However, China Wushu never only pursues the perfection of individual body, but also emphasizes the harmony between the internal relationship of human body and the external society and even the whole universe, so as to achieve the harmony between man and nature advocated by China's classical philosophy.
The main source of China Wushu: personal self-protection
Primitive society: the strong and the weak fight, one side moves, and then martial arts. Wu, stop fighting for Wu and come to an end.
Martial arts, the art of eliminating armistice. China Wushu and China traditional Wushu, through the spread of Wushu and under the technical guidance of "stopping invasion", guide practitioners to enter the traditional education mode of understanding the objective laws of man, nature and society. It is the guidance and guarantee of human material civilization.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Zhuangwang, the son of King Chu, was the King of Chu. From 6 13 BC to 59 1 year BC, he was one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius visited the State of Chu, saying that Chu Zhuangwang's political thought was consistent with the Confucian "benevolence". Before Chu Zhuangwang, Chu had been excluded from China culture. Since Chu Zhuangwang, it has made Chu strong, played a great role in the spread of Chinese culture and the formation of national spirit, and dominated the Central Plains, making it famous all over the world.
