I want to talk about Chinese martial arts

The one on the first floor is used to speak with the history almost, people there are willing to listen to oh. I think to study must let everyone understand can not be too esoteric, try to avoid the use of terminology:

Chinese martial arts in the feudal society had "practice martial arts, martial arts, fighting" and other titles. In the old society nearly forty years during the Republic of China, known as the national essence called "national art". After the founding of the country was renamed the current name "martial arts". So practicing martial arts, martial arts, fighting, national art, martial arts are a lineage of Chinese martial arts, in addition to the characteristics of the school, there has never been a classification of the name. Since 1959, the 10th anniversary of the National Day held the first National Games, a variety of martial arts types come and go (including domestic and foreign ridicule), there are traditional martial arts, school flow martial arts, official martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, competitive martial arts, modern martial arts and so on more than a dozen confusing name, the formation of each is said to be, each act in its own way, each take what they need, mutual rejection of the taboo and other confusing situations. So that the Chinese martial arts were divided, dismembered, deformed. Traditional wushu in the "gold medal strategy" under the guidance of the wrong thinking, long-term ineffective development, until there is no chance to enter the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Traditional wushu is not a branch of the chaotic wushu, stripped and exclude the messy things, traditional wushu is the original face of the Chinese wushu. From this concept, here from the "martial arts culture" this perspective to recognize the traditional martial arts, because of its very wide range of areas, the following only seven aspects of a simple brick to attract jade, I hope that the same way to expand the complementary and criticism and correction.

(I) Wushu and philosophy. Wushu originated from military offense and defense fighting, which requires a philosophical culture with dialectical relationship. Many martial arts schools have adopted philosophies with simple materialism, such as Fu Xi "I Ching", Lao Zi "Tao Te Ching", Zhuang Zi "South China Classic" of the doctrine of the three sutras, as well as the Han Dynasty Wei Boyang "Zhouyi Sen Tongqi", etc., with Taiji yin and yang, Bagua Yi Chang, five elements of the birth of the grams and the essence of the river and Luo and other material and dialectical approach to the study of the philosophical principles of attack and defense.

(ii) martial arts and military. The composition of martial arts is military martial arts, social martial arts and religious martial arts three organic combination, any party can not rely on the operation of speculation to erase the facts inverted alternative. Cold War era of military training needs culture and actual combat, the need for actual combat - theory - and then actual combat again and again theory. As early as in the Zhou Dynasty, the provisions of the fifteen-year-old man, we must participate in the "dance elephant" military training, which is China's earliest military martial arts, in the study of culture at the same time practicing military training, the combination of culture and martial arts. The first Chinese martial arts work was the ten-volume "Wujing" by Tang Shunzhi during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, who was a hero in the fight against Japanese invaders and the teacher of Qi Jiguang's martial arts and marksmanship. The Wushu Zhizhi is a collection of military strategies and tactics, applications of weaponry production, and experience in unarmed integrated short and loose fighting. When he was a brigade commander, Li Jinglin, a modern military martial artist, built a martial arts team in the army and used martial arts to train soldiers in grappling and fighting, especially to train cavalrymen in "chopping and slashing live targets and counterattacking with live targets" and demonstrated them in person. It is not uncommon for the chief to build a martial arts team in the army, but it is very rare for the chief to be personally involved in combat training. Wushu military culture is the most practical embodiment of military training, combat and fighting theory, the most "heroes have a place to use".

(3) martial arts and social customs. Here is just one example. In the national martial arts census period, I investigated in Changzhou City, the foot of the Hengshan West Village, found that the martial arts have a special function for the construction of social and cultural services. The village of the old society, some period of the people's morale is not correct, security is not good, the effect of civil rules and regulations, the village chief thought of a way to let everyone practice martial arts, hire a teacher named Yang Huanzhang teach martial arts, and later also invited two blacksmiths to build and repair martial arts equipment for many years, the formation of households, men, women and children of the full range of martial arts culture, the village of the security is good, in particular, there is no eating, drinking, whoring, corruption, gambling, opium smoking and other vices, this martial arts Culture, there is a special function of cleaning up the social and public morals and revitalizing the health of the people, greatly exceeding the village statute.

(4) martial arts and youth quality. Juvenile is the budding growth period, youth is the development and growth period, youth is a variety of qualities of the comprehensive training period, in which sports are particularly important. Youth sports program is not suitable for teenagers, only the martial arts movement is most favorable to the growth of teenagers health, will health and intellectual health. For example, the positive kick, gymnastics requirements are over the head, martial arts requirements foot jaw, has been training waist and legs, hook foot is the ligament vascular stretch to the medulla oblongata, the maximum stretching of the spine, improve the spinal nerves and twelve pairs of medulla oblongata nerve microcirculation, can improve the intelligence quotient and increase the length of the body, so that the ear is smart and eyesight. In short, martial arts for teenagers have anti-myopia, anti-obesity, anti-anorexia, anti-lazy, promote diligence and other roles, can cultivate the physical beauty of teenagers, the beauty of the soul, the quality of the United States, and cultivate young people's strong will, bravery and patriotic national spirit. Can improve the flexibility of the juvenile body, sensitivity and explosive force and other juvenile growth qualities, martial arts culture in the school, is a "growth quality of students," martial arts into the school without delay.

(E) martial arts and science. At the beginning of the twentieth century, although the international insult to the Chinese people as "the sick man of East Asia", ridicule the weak physique of the people, but very admirable and horrified Chinese kung fu. After a century, now at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the reality is the opposite, turned a 180-degree turn, the Chinese people have long thrown away the hat of the sick man of East Asia, is running towards well-off, our comprehensive national strength enhanced, the sports industry is also booming, the Olympic gold medals have been ranked second in the world, but the Chinese kung fu, and then degradation of obliteration.

Chinese kung fu is the best of Chinese sports, the pursuit of the goal is extremely high to the limit of the challenge, the training method beyond the conventional, to endure the difficulty of the great, demanding and harsh, so the practice of not many. In addition to the teacher, financial and other conditions, a very important reason is that there is no use of modern scientific knowledge to explore a variety of kung fu scientific principles, laws and scientific and rational methods, has been stuck in the conservative narrow closed original special training methods.
