How do you think about "martial virtues"?

Wudu refers to the spirit of "stopping the sword for the sake of martial arts, honoring martial arts and promoting virtue". The ancient understanding of "wu" in China refers to military action in general. The Shuowen Jiezi (Explanation of Characters in Chinese) says that "stopping the spears is for wu", which means that wu should be used to prohibit violence and rule over chaos, stopping the dry spears, and seeking stability and peace. The original meaning of the word "wu" is not to tell people to "use military force" to dominate, to serve the strong, to bully the weak, to kill and injure, to annihilate countries, to take over land, to seize property and to enslave the people. If you do that, it is not "martial arts", but "aggression", aggression is not worthy of being called "martial arts". Aggression is not worthy of the name "wu". The meaning of "wu" is justice, such as the ancient Zhou Wu Wang crusade against the lawlessness of the feudal king, after his death was overflowing for the "king of wu"; Yue Fei against the Jin soldiers, after his death was named "Yue Wu Mu Wang". This crown "Wu" is a beautiful name with the meaning of praise and glorification.

In recent times, people have been practicing boxing and kicking, knife and gun skills called martial arts, the purpose of which is for self-defense and fitness, not to deceive others. China's martial arts community has always had a good tradition of honoring martial arts and virtue. In the past, if any one of the martial arts sect out of the scum, in accordance with the sect's "family law precepts" count their sins, and mercilessly clean house, in order to warn those who do not abide by martial arts ethics and do all the bad things of the people. If the ancients still attach such importance to martial arts ethics, we martial arts practitioners today should inherit and carry forward the spirit of martial arts ethics. Specifically, we practice martial arts today, the main purpose is to fitness and self-defense, self-defense, but also should have to preside over the "moral" responsibility, for example, in order to do justice, it should be "the road to see the injustice, see the righteousness and courage". Martial arts practitioners should be moral people, open-minded people, people with a sense of justice, people who know right from wrong, law-abiding people. Why? The reason is very simple, if a strong martial arts people, but do not know how to do things, rude and reckless, when things do not say open, then a moment of spontaneity, three punches and two kicks, hand up and down the knife to make people die of gas, that will cause much disaster and misfortune to the individual and society ah! Therefore, the requirement of martial arts practitioners, must fully recognize and fully understand the legitimate use of martial arts and the purpose of martial arts practice, must strictly abide by martial arts ethics.

In short, martial arts ethics, as a kind of moral code, has been a guideline that martial arts practitioners must strictly abide by since ancient times. Our today's Wudu, more should be in the inheritance of traditional Wudu on the basis of the establishment of the characteristics of our new era of Wudu difficult rules, that is, the majority of our martial arts practitioners in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, seriously do the "five speak", "four beautiful", "Three Favors", so that they can become a person with ideals, morals, culture and discipline. Both noble spirit, but also have a good martial arts, once the motherland and the people need, we will be able to immediately come forward, listen to the call and contribute to the motherland and the people.
