In the past, the apprentice looked for the master, but now the master looks for the apprentice. How can traditional Wushu save itself?

Zhang Zhenshan, the eleventh descendant of Chaquan, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service: "In traditional martial arts, the apprentice used to find the master, and now the master is looking for the apprentice." Directly tells the embarrassing situation of traditional martial arts. What happened to martial arts? Isn't it said that Wushu is profound and profound, and it is the quintessence of our country? How come no one wants it for nothing now? Is the treasure left by our ancestors really going to be lost?

Martial arts can only be regarded as mixed feelings at best. The good news is that, first of all, Wushu has attracted the attention of the country, and the government has begun to find ways to protect it instead of letting it die. Second, some people have been blessed by the government and become the authentic descendants of "King James". Of course, the former is the pleasure of martial arts, and the latter is the pleasure of individuals. What we are worried about is that, firstly, the martial arts we love have not been reduced to the point of being protected as "giant pandas"; Second, the success of "applying for the World Heritage" may not stop the pace of the demise of traditional boxing.

In this era, the development of Wushu must be linked to money. From famous boxers to unknown boxers, we should put away the lofty mentality of "treating money like dirt" and be secular. Use the hard lever of money to incite Wushu to the path of benign development.

Wushu is in today's commodity economy. If it can't go to the market and be linked to the currency, it will decline and even lose money. Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of skills, from the perspective of commodity economy, traditional Wushu is definitely seriously behind the times. Many kinds of boxing may be good skills, but they are definitely not good commodities. Many martial arts fighters may be good teachers, but they are not good waiters.

They have no money to invest in opening a decent martial arts school, nor can they give students a comfortable and quiet practice environment, so they can only set up stalls in the park; They want to use martial arts to help people keep fit, but they lack basic physiological and medical knowledge and can't give students scientific and accurate guidance. They can only talk about some theories that they don't know much about, such as Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Qi and Blood. They emphasize that Wushu is the real kung fu of Wushu, but they have practiced for decades and have never met anyone, so they can only show the power of the technique by beating their apprentices when they make moves. What they know is what Master taught him. All he can do is teach what he has learned, and teach him now. Looking around, we can see that yoga has been subdivided into many subcategories according to the different needs of different groups of people. Wushu still thinks that a round pile can cure all diseases. This is the gap and the reason for the decline of Wushu. We can't blame the society for abandoning Wushu, but the Wushu people themselves don't work hard.

In contemporary society, professional Wushu people (people who live entirely by Wushu) are still rare animals, and there is no complete Wushu industry (even a decent pole can't be bought, let alone any industry). Without the temptation of money, it is difficult to attract more people to join this industry, and martial arts can only be the sustenance of a small number of people to entertain themselves. In this way, martial arts will be abandoned in the corner by society like many lost crafts, or exist in the bookcases of experts and scholars and become memories.

Wushu is not without market, but Wushu people don't know how to tap the market. Most people who teach boxing do not refine martial arts according to the needs of society. Whether you want to keep fit or like confrontation, it's the same content. A teaching method, the final result is that fitness people think they can play well, but confrontation is actually just fitness.
