Kung Fu is the common name of China Wushu and the origin of China Wushu.

According to tradition, China Wushu originated from ancient wars, and some competitive skills mastered by soldiers during the Warring States Period gradually evolved into China Wushu. But there are also some views that China Wushu originated from primitive society. At that time, people fought wild animals with sticks and other tools. People think that wild animals can fight against many people, and they begin to imitate the actions of wild animals, from the initial bears and wolves to cranes, snakes and mantis. Many Shaolin martial arts are similar to boxing. This era is called the boxing era. Hunting in Shang Dynasty was regarded as an important means of Wushu training. There is no exact time for the origin of Wushu. Ancestors mastered fighting skills when hunting, which paved the way for soldiers to use fighting skills on the battlefield in the future. In addition to these two viewpoints, the book "China Wushu-History and Culture" points out that although part of Wushu comes from military needs, most of it comes from private struggles among the people. Military Wushu and folk Wushu have different requirements. There are three views on the origin of China Wushu. No matter which point of view has its own truth, after all, the origin of China Wushu cannot be limited to an activity in a certain period.
