To sum up, it can be seen that:

1. The mainstream of Hui martial arts in Ningxia belongs to northwest folk martial arts, which has strong northwest local characteristics. It is different from the folk martial arts in Gansu and Qinghai, and has a wide and close relationship with the folk martial arts in Gansu. After liberation, the boxing departments in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places were introduced into Ningxia in different ways, which enriched the content of Ningxia Wushu and promoted the development of Ningxia Hui folk Wushu.

2. Historical practice shows that Hui folk martial arts include "Jiaomen Boxing", which is actually a martial arts boxing system and genre with Hui national characteristics summarized, developed and created by Hui people in the struggle to defend national survival, and is an inseparable and important part of Chinese martial arts. Taking routine as the main practice form is an extremely important feature of Chinese Wushu, and "returning to eighteen elbows" and its "five swords" are no exception. Visible, hui martial arts is the fruit of Chinese martial arts, an ancient and lush tree. It is well integrated with the brothers' national Wushu, influencing and promoting each other, creating Chinese Wushu, an excellent traditional culture of the motherland.

3. Hui people in Ningxia have a fine tradition of worshipping teaching and martial arts, attaching importance to the practicality and fighting skills of martial arts, and have made many achievements. Because the Hui people have a long history of practicing martial arts, they have accumulated a lot of valuable fitness experience and skills from generation to generation, which has high fitness value. Most Hui martial artists in Ningxia live a long life. For example, Ma Hong, Yu and Bow are all long-lived people who are nearly a hundred years old. Ma Zhenwu, a famous Hui folk martial artist, was 90 years old at 1997. He is deaf, blind, clear-headed, strong and refreshed, and is still practicing martial arts. 1990 According to the fourth population census of the whole region, "there are 33 centenarians in Ningxia, including 26 centenarians in Hui nationality, accounting for 78.8%". This also shows that, in addition to other factors, the longevity of the Hui people is closely related to the fine traditions of the Hui people, such as frugality, self-discipline, religious piety, non-smoking and non-drinking, and martial arts.
