Wudang Wushu is a profound school with a long history in Chinese Wushu. Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest of Wudang in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, is considered as the founder of Wudang Wushu. The following is what I have arranged for you:

"Wushu originated in China and belongs to the world!" Some time ago, when I returned to Chengdu after finishing my solo exhibition and Wudang Wushu exchange activities in Beijing and Tianjin, I received an invitation and learned that the third traditional Wushu Festival will be held in Wudang Mountain, Shiyan City from June 28, 2008 to June 2, 2008, sponsored by the International Wushu Federation and the Chinese Wushu Association, and undertaken by the people of Shiyan City.

Wudang Wushu is a major school of China Wushu. There has always been a saying that Shaolin is worshipped in the north and Wudang in the south. Said. Wudang boxing also gave priority to "family-handed boxing". Wudang Wushu has a deep relationship with Taoism, and Taoist practice and enlightenment are often accompanied by martial arts practice. Before the Song Dynasty, there were countless martial arts experts among Wudang Taoist priests. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng, who was practicing in Wudang Mountain, was an expert in this field. He founded a school in Wudang Mountain according to the "Three Classics" of Taoist culture in China, and named it Wutang School. After hundreds of years of development, a variety of martial arts boxing has been derived, which laid the foundation for the development of Wudang Wushu.

From the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, Wudang Wushu Neijia Boxing prevailed in eastern Zhejiang for about 200 years, during which there were many masters. Tai Ji Chuan, Xingyiquan and Baguazhang were very popular in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. From the early years of the Republic of China, it was popularized to some cities and colleges and universities by establishing boxing clubs, books and opinions. 65438-0928 At the beginning of the establishment of Nanjing Central Martial Arts School, wudang boxing and Shaolin Boxing were offered. ?

After the founding of New China, Wudang Wushu was widely promoted, especially after 1978. 1982 After the National Wushu Work Symposium was held, various boxing methods scattered around Wutangmen were gradually excavated. Hubei province took the lead in discovering 8 kinds of boxing, and later collected more than 30 kinds of Wutangmen boxing. The relevant departments also set up Wudang Wushu Boxing Research Association and published Wudang Magazine. 1In June, 1987, Wudang Mountain held a national Wushu competition, and 160 Wushu masters from more than 20 Wushu teams from 9 provinces performed on the stage, with an audience of150,000. In June, 199 1,1,China Hubei Wudang Wushu Culture Festival was held in Wudang Mountain, which had a good influence on people's health and patriotism. Some types of Wudang Wushu have also spread to neighboring countries and many countries in Europe, America and Africa. Wudang Wushu is also listed as a compulsory course in primary and secondary schools in Wudang Mountain area to train successors.

Wudang Mountain is a world-famous Taoist shrine. Wudang Wushu has spread to this day, forming many kinds of boxing. Since the Song Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng, an alchemist in Wudang, watched the snake-sparrow fight in real life, dreamed that "Xuan Di" threw his fist at the gods at night, realized the principle of the transformation of Yin and Yang in Taoism, took meaning from pictograms and created the Wudang Fairy Tale. Zhang Songxi is the master in the south and Wang Zongyue is the representative in the north. Wu Tangmen's martial arts are famous all over the world.

Yu is the president of the Shenyi Neijia Boxing Research Association of Songxi School in Southern Wudang, the third generation descendant of Wudang Zixiao School, the authentic descendant of Nanzong Songxi School 12 generation, and the master and head of Shenyi Neijia Boxing School in Southern Wudang. I deeply feel that the times are flourishing. Although I am 60 years old, I still feel full of energy. I thank martial arts for bringing me good health. I am even more grateful to the great era for giving martial arts a better development and making martial arts better for the benefit of mankind.

The World Traditional Wushu Festival is held every two years. The first two sessions were hosted by Zhengzhou, Henan Province, which attracted more than 3,000 athletes from more than 30 countries around the world. It is the most influential martial arts event in the world, and has become an important platform for promoting China's traditional culture and promoting local economic development. This session was held in Shiyan City, Hubei Province. Wudang Mountain, as one of the main cradles of China Wushu, plays an important role in the history of world Wushu development. This is undoubtedly of great significance and far-reaching influence on the development, dissemination and promotion of Wudang Wushu and the promotion and development of China Wushu culture.

The development and popularization of Wudang Wushu must take the road of Wushu industrialization. With Wudang Mountain, the birthplace of Wudang Wushu, as the core, all kinds of martial arts of Wutangzong radiate outward, extensively carry out exchanges and competitive activities with various martial arts schools, and push them to the international market through commercial packaging, culture and economy combined with modern media. In addition to holding large-scale sports events and publishing newspapers, books, movies and CDs, it is suggested that Wudang Wushu Research Institute, Wudang Wushu Club and Wudang Wushu Development Foundation should be gradually established all over the world, and the rules of image identification, teaching materials and scientific evaluation should be unified. And with the help of social forces to recruit talents, gather money and recruit disciples, and better popularize them. What needs special explanation is that Wudang Wushu, as the treasure of China traditional culture, cannot develop without the great attention of * * *. Wudang Wushu, as a bridge connecting different countries and nationalities, will undoubtedly bring a leap to Wudang Mountain, Shiyan tourism, investment attraction and local economic development. Let's greet the victory of the 3rd World Traditional Wushu Festival in Shiyan City, Hubei Province with full enthusiasm, and wish the event a complete success.
