Is traditional Chinese martial arts really flowery

Traditional Chinese martial arts have flowery style as well as practical combat kung fu.

Traditional martial arts, because of its historical development, is a mixture of fighting, practicing and performing, that is to say, there are actual combat kung fu and performance kung fu. In some special times, our traditional martial arts do not have a competitive ring environment, most people are practicing sets, and therefore the lack of actual combat, I believe that with the liberalization of the national sports market, traditional martial arts will also be reformed.
