Understanding of martial arts.

I have always been curious, what is the highest realm of traditional martial arts? A few years ago, Mr Lv Zijian often appeared in the media. During the Republic of China, he worked as an instructor of major general under Chiang Kai-shek, defeating the instructor brought by the American general in charge of state mediation. However, this American has already defeated many China coaches before. However, Mr Lv Zijian has worshipped many famous teachers. He is a boxer who has studied internal boxing for many years. He knocked down the Americans with his fist. He is proficient in eight diagrams, but he didn't hit them with his palm. Alas, what is the power of the palm? What are mantis hands, eagle claws and the like? In fact, when you finally hit someone, you still rely on boxing. Alas. It seems that western boxing is not as advanced as China's, but China's is not much different.

First, traditional Wushu is a kind of culture, not just a simple fighting skill.

Our traditional Wushu is definitely not just a simple fighting technique, but the carrier of our traditional culture. The Chinese nation has formed a unique culture in which Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated in a long history, and the crystallization of the wisdom of these working people is embodied in our martial arts. The theoretical essences of traditional Wushu, such as "everything is suitable for people", "omnipotent" and "consistency of Tao and law", are closely related to traditional culture and come down in one continuous line. For example, in boxing, "transcending all boundaries" is actually the best embodiment of the "golden mean" in life.

Traditional Wushu is not only a trick of punching and kicking, but also an enemy of ten thousand people. If you know martial arts, you will understand the art of war. If you really understand the true meaning of martial arts, you are not just a soldier, but a general who can lead troops to fight. Further, I really understood the true meaning of martial arts and gained a key to understand the traditional culture of China.

Our theoretical system is different from that of the West, and our traditional Wushu is also explained by the five lines of gossip principle of Yin and Yang in traditional culture, some of which are difficult for modern science to explain. Some things are hard to say now, because we can't explain now, so it's hard to explain. Let's also have a "keep them outside Liuhe". Just like some friends ("fish scale" friends) in The Scholars, why are mentoring different? > message: mystery. I think the apprentice should learn from the master, shine on you is better than Lan. Yes, there are some metaphysical things in our traditional martial arts. Therefore, traditional Wushu pays attention to both "practice" and "enlightenment". This is also one of the reasons why traditional Wushu is difficult to practice. Even if you practice perfectly in appearance, it's hard to say that what you practice is right. People who have studied boxing may know something about this. What you have to learn is what's in your fist. You are eager to learn when you are dead, but hard to learn when you are alive. Boxing can't be done without a grasp of the situation, and more importantly, "learn to live." Without analogy and mastery, it's hard to say that you really know boxing.

Second, traditional martial arts can preserve health and prolong life.

Traditional Wushu has the function of keeping in good health, so it is estimated that few people will object. Otherwise, there would not be 654.38+600 million people practicing Tai Ji Chuan in China. Get up in the morning and go for a walk in the park. There are still many people who practice boxing now, most of whom are old people. What they pursue is the health-preserving function of Wushu.

Traditional Wushu can preserve health, and its function may be different from that of lifting dumbbells and running, and its principle of action may be different from that provided by modern civilization. This still needs to return to traditional culture, because China traditional Wushu is rooted in the traditional culture of our motherland, and the two are inseparable. I'm afraid its health care function still depends on Chinese medicine.

Third, martial arts is the soul of traditional martial arts.

However, no matter what role it plays, no matter how big it is, boxing is boxing after all. Boxing should have the concept of boxing and be able to attack and attack. Wushu is the soul of Wushu. Without martial arts, it can't be called martial arts, only "dancing" and "gymnastics".

Martial arts originated from fighting and was designed for fighting. All actions and goals are for fighting skills. Some people say "I am a health school". I don't want any martial arts. I just want to exercise. It doesn't matter, it will also have a certain effect. "Shake it and the spine will be sold." Exercising your bones and muscles is also good for the human body. The real masters we see are good at fighting and healthy. In other words, if you can learn the real things in boxing, fitness will become a natural thing. However, it should be noted that "everything is true, and the law is also true", that is to say, learning and understanding boxing through mastering martial arts will be healthy. If you don't study martial arts seriously and don't really understand boxing, will the effect of health preservation be discounted? Whether keeping in good health or studying China's classical philosophy, if you want to achieve your goal through boxing, you should still grasp the key and soul.
