We should not only learn physical norms, but also seek spiritual communication. The holistic view of internal and external integration is a major feature of China Wushu. The so-called interior refers to the spiritual activities such as mind and mind, and the overall movement of qi; The so-called watch refers to physical activities such as hands, eyes, body and steps. Inside and outside, form and god are interrelated and unified whole. For example, Wuqinxi is a wonderful effort to imitate five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird. Its essence is: "external movement and internal static, dynamic and static, both dynamic and static, both rigid and flexible, both internal and external repair." China Wushu is an exercise method that focuses on physical fitness, supplemented by fighting. There is no inherent form of practice, focusing on both internal and external training. At the same time, because of its origin, it exists in every corner of our lives. Kung fu is embodied in our life, in every action in our daily life. China Wushu is a kind of knowledge and a kind of defense, not for war, but for peace. To truly understand the connotation of China Wushu, we should put aside all the concepts of sects and feel with our heart. Because Wushu has no form, but it can be in any form, so there is no difference between strong and weak Wushu. The cultivation of China Wushu is precisely to strengthen the body, cultivate one's morality and keep fit, and China Wushu is regardless of height, but pays attention to understanding the spirit of fighters and reforming it from the outside.
