Why are there four martial laws in the history of China? Wushu is so useless?

There will be four martial arts bans in history, mainly because martial arts are too powerful. The authorities imposed the ban because they were afraid that those with high martial arts skills would threaten their rule.

First, martial arts has become a posturing gesture, which does not mean that martial arts are useless. Wushu is a unique traditional technique in China, which has been highly sought after since ancient times. However, in people's eyes, countless actions seem to be just posturing and posturing, and have no other functions. In ancient times, Wushu was not only beneficial to people's health, but most importantly, some people who practiced Wushu to the extreme could also break through the limits of their physical strength through Wushu. Some powerful people can even fly over the eaves and climb the wall, and they can kill many enemies with martial arts. People who know martial arts on the battlefield can be described as fierce.

Second, in order to consolidate his rule, the emperor ordered the ancient people to learn martial arts, and learning martial arts must pass the test of weapons. The emperor was afraid that the people would learn martial arts and threaten their rule, and ordered several times to ban martial arts. At the time of Qin Shihuang, those private weapons were confiscated and then refined into copper liquid, just to prevent the people below from rebelling. Wushu must be very useful. Otherwise, why did a powerful emperor like Qin Shihuang go to great pains to learn this instruction and take away all those weapons? Zhao Kuangyin is also a military commander. He knew how powerful martial arts people were, and he was afraid that some martial arts experts would learn from him, so he also ordered martial arts to be banned. Song dynasty also valued literature over martial arts.

Third, repeated martial arts made martial arts decline, especially in the Yuan Dynasty. Martial arts are more strictly controlled, and even kitchen knives at home must be registered with the government. People were forbidden to fight boxing in the Qing dynasty, and it was precisely because of repeated prohibitions that Wushu became weak. In fact, China's martial arts did not take the violent route, but the rulers were too scared, so it also made martial arts decline.
