Aesthetics in China Wushu Culture

China Wushu has been spread in China for thousands of years, and even spread all over the world, not only because it has the functions of strengthening the body and self-defense, but also because it has high aesthetic value, thus giving people beautiful enjoyment and edifying sentiment. China Wushu can be said to have the most universal aesthetic culture color, and each kind of boxing has its own aesthetic style. Today, with the rapid development of modern sports, in order to make Wushu develop better and stand on the international stage, we must of course modify the rules to adapt to the international environment, and also grasp the aesthetic value contained in Wushu culture.

We know that the category of China's traditional aesthetics is very different from that of western aesthetics. Among them, meaning, taste, Tao, environment, strength, rhyme and other categories are not found in western aesthetics, and these categories are particularly obvious in Wushu culture.

An expression of Wushu aesthetics

(A) the formal beauty of Wushu

The formal beauty of Wushu refers to the beauty of physical movement and spiritual charm of Wushu aesthetic objects in the process of practicing Wushu. Mainly in the following two aspects:

1 the beauty of harmony between form and spirit

The combination of form and spirit in Wushu is lacking in other sports, and it is also one of the remarkable characteristics of Wushu as a traditional art and culture of our country. Only the harmony of form and spirit can achieve a high degree of unity between man and nature, man and equipment, body and consciousness, action and consciousness, and finally achieve the requirement of harmonious beauty of "both form and spirit"

2. The beauty of contradictory changes in action

"Constant is not beautiful" Wushu is the same, and every routine contains many contradictions and changes. Wushu athletes' careful handling of routines and skillful drills have made the aesthetic subject feel the beauty.

(B) the artistic beauty of martial arts

Although Wushu practitioners vary from person to person, they will be different in the process of practice because of their different personalities, plots and emotions. Artistic conception beauty is the combination of practicality and artistry in Wushu practice. The beauty of artistic conception shows the style and imaginative content of Wushu itself, thus revealing the creativity of Wushu. The overall beauty of artistic conception makes the essence of martial arts melt into the routine drills like flowing water, taking people with potential, entertaining people with action, inspiring people with spirit, like beautiful lyrics or unrestrained marches, making people enjoy beauty and taste mellow martial arts culture in the shadow of swords.

Second, the educational value of Wushu cultural aesthetics

(A) to cultivate aesthetic awareness

Wushu can be appreciated to enrich people's cultural life, and its unique beauty affects the cultivation of people's aesthetic consciousness to some extent. Wushu athletes' mastery of their own events and audience's understanding of their own Wushu performances directly affect their aesthetic feelings. A unique and elegant action made by the performer will have a great impact on the audience's vision, be praised by the audience and give people beautiful enjoyment. The audience is emotionally infected and influenced, imperceptibly cultivating aesthetic consciousness, which is irreplaceable by other ideologies.

(B) improve the aesthetic ability

So is the aesthetics of Wushu. When people watch martial arts competitions or performances, they often give out cheers and admiration involuntarily, which is a natural expression of the appreciator's heartfelt feelings and a positive judgment on the beauty of the aesthetic object. In this special way of reflection, the subjective initiative of the aesthetic subject has a particularly prominent significance, because although aesthetics is the visual appreciation caused by the aesthetic subject's perception of the object, it is not passive acceptance, but active, positive and discovery. To appreciate beauty, you must have eyes to appreciate beauty and understand the connotation of beauty with your heart, thus bringing shock to your mind. Under the influence of beauty, the ability to appreciate beauty will naturally improve over time.

Aesthetic pleasure value in Wushu culture

(A) cultivate one's morality

Wushu can not only strengthen the body, but also cultivate self-cultivation and noble moral sentiments. In martial arts, Tai Ji Chuan's self-cultivation value is most vividly reflected. Tai Ji Chuan's exercises combine the three methods of "boxing, martial arts and health preservation", so that the body can be exercised, the spirit can be cultivated, and the body and mind can be cultivated, thus achieving physical functional ability, moral and artistic ability, and both civil and military skills. This is the result of Tai Ji Chuan's self-cultivation. It can also fully reflect the unique value of self-cultivation

(B) cultivate sentiment

The beauty of Wushu has a strong permeability, which can play a role in cultivating sentiment and shaping personality in a subtle way. The beauty of martial arts infects people with vivid artistic images, melts unconsciously in participation and appreciation, and touches people's heartstrings, thus building a monument of truth, goodness and beauty in people's hearts. Attracted by the irresistible beauty of martial arts, people get rid of the inherent psychological stereotype and moral preaching, and get a happy practice.

China Wushu, once synonymous with China, can only develop further by going out and facing the world! The aesthetic value of China Wushu culture is influencing the whole world. If you want to get more development, you can only infect the world from the connotation and thought!

China Wushu is a kind of pride of our nation, symbolizing a kind of spirit of our nation. Whether Wushu can be accepted by more people is related to the development of Wushu in China to some extent, and also affects the inheritance of Wushu cultural value. The beauty of Wushu should be used to serve people's lives, not a purely theoretical beauty. The beauty of Wushu should be tested and developed in life practice. It comes from life and should also serve life. This is the essence of beauty. Only by organically combining the beauty of Wushu with the beauty of modern life can Wushu go further!

Throughout the history of human cultural development, China Wushu, like other foreign sports, is closely related to and influenced by the political, economic, technological and cultural development of a country or nation. Therefore, China Wushu, like other foreign sports, is the product of social and cultural development and belongs to the category of world sports culture. Any excellent culture in history is not only the symbol of a highly developed country or nation, but also the cultural wealth of people all over the world. Therefore, I believe that in the near future, China Wushu will go to the world in the form of excellent national culture.
