Wushu is a traditional sport in China, which is mainly based on attack and defense, routine and fighting, and is both internal and external.

Wushu was formed in slave society. After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, after continuous wars, Wushu was further developed into practicality and standardization in order to meet the needs of actual combat. In Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Taiji theory came into being, and China Wushu system was established. Pan Guojing Wushu, represented by Shaolin Kung Fu, developed in feudal society. Wrestling and fencing were popular in Qin and Han dynasties, as well as "knife dance" and "vigorous dance" The implementation of Wushu system in Tang Dynasty greatly promoted the development of Wushu.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a period of great development of Wushu, with many schools and different kinds of boxing, which formed the main boxing systems such as Tai Ji Chuan, Xingyiquan and Bagua Boxing.
