What does "martial arts" mean?

Wushu: refers to the traditional Wushu in China. This is an honorific title for martial arts. According to the explanation of Chinese Wushu Association, "Wushu", as a fairly clear concept similar to "Chinese painting" and "Chinese medicine", came into being in modern times. It is a national sports system with unarmed combat and equipment as its core, including many independent events of traditional Wushu. There are boxing drills, unarmed and long-short equipment fighting events, national wrestling that has been complementary to Wushu since ancient times, archery, slingshot, shuttlecock, force measurement and other projects closely related to traditional Wushu. Generally speaking, Wushu is an attempt to integrate and systematize China's traditional body movements. Although the word Wushu is widely used in China, other descriptions of China Wushu, such as Wushu and Kung Fu, are also famous overseas. Especially today, when the Party and the country advocate the people-oriented social development attitude guided by Scientific Outlook on Development and devote themselves to the harmonious development and coexistence of China society and even the whole world, the traditional culture of China, represented by Sinology, is once again sought after with the rapid economic development, which shows that China people are pursuing and returning to the cultural standard. As an internal part of Chinese studies, China Wushu is undoubtedly the inevitable result of historical development and the basic demand of the development of the times for China culture to go global. Wushu: 1928, the Central Martial Arts School was established in Nanjing, and the word "Wushu" appeared for the first time, which was later adopted by Taiwan Province Province. 1952, Chinese Wushu Association was established in mainland China, and the word "China Wushu" appeared. "Chinese Wushu" can be a name to solve the cross-strait name dispute, but it cannot be said that "Chinese Wushu" is abbreviated as "national martial arts" or "martial arts" just because the name "Chinese Wushu" appeared later.
