What is the inner spirit of Wushu?

The intrinsic spirit of Wushu is "virtue"

Since Dong Zhongshu ousted a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism has gradually become the orthodox culture of China's feudal society for more than two thousand years. Naturally, China's martial arts will also be influenced by Confucianism. Martial arts practitioners value a person's martial arts virtue most. Virtue, Confucian benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, as well as filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, honesty and shame. A person who doesn't know Xiu De won't achieve anything in martial arts, and thinks he is just a reckless person. "Practicing martial arts first and cultivating morality" and "gravity instead of quality" are the embodiment of China Confucian traditional culture in martial arts. Since ancient times, scholars have attached importance to both civil and military training. Six arts advocated in Confucian culture-the number of books shot by rites and music. Among them, shooting pays attention to the cultivation of martial arts.

China people are tolerant, broad-minded and broad-brow. This is well reflected in the martial arts. For example, when we watch martial arts TV again, when two people compete, they always say "Let's stop", which will not only save face for each other, but also hurt harmony. This is what Confucianism calls "gentlemen are harmonious but different", which embodies the tolerance and eclecticism of China's traditional culture.

It is the essence of martial arts to cultivate the moral sentiments of respecting teachers, honoring ceremony and keeping promises, valuing righteousness over profit, being lenient with others and being strict with self-discipline. "The text is judged by the heart, and the martial arts are arrogant." It is the essence of traditional Confucian culture in China.
