Why is the actual combat ability of traditional Wushu weakened?

There are many reasons for the gradual weakening of traditional Wushu. On the one hand, the government has compiled a large number of official standard Wushu routines to adapt to the life of a peaceful society. These routines have greatly adapted the movements of traditional Wushu routines, weakened the actual combat function of traditional Wushu, and added more fitness and actual combat components. Through official promotion, these peaceful martial arts routines can not only satisfy people's desire to practice martial arts, but also will not cause trouble to social security. For these reasons, traditional Wushu gradually weakened its actual combat function and changed to "dance".

On the other hand, the reason is that in the old society, there were often many artists who lived by martial arts. In order to attract the audience, many performance elements are added to the original Wushu, which makes the performance elements of Wushu greater than the actual combat function.

In addition, the actual combat function of traditional martial arts is gradually weakening, and another reason is that many superb martial arts are gradually lost. Generally, there are fewer real martial arts masters, and even fewer martial arts masters can inherit these martial arts, and some superb martial arts are gradually lost. At other times, real martial arts masters may only give some people some ostentatious martial arts routines when they don't want to teach them martial arts, but they have to. Even if they do teach martial arts routines with the essence of actual combat, not everyone can learn them.
