What are the schools of ancient martial arts in China?

There are many schools of Wushu in China, but there is no unified naming method. Some are named after regions, such as Henan psychological boxing; Some are named after mountains and rivers, such as Wu Tang clan; Some are named after the surnames of a generation of grandmasters, such as the biography of Yang Taj Mahal. In the past, these schools were roughly divided into two categories: internal boxing and external boxing.

2. China Wushu is an important part of China's traditional culture, one of the main contents of China's national sports, and a method used by China people to exercise and defend themselves for thousands of years. People in Guangdong and Guangxi called it Kung Fu, and in the early years of the Republic of China it was called national martial arts, which was regarded as the quintessence of the country, so it was also called the quintessence of the country. There are many schools and routines of Wushu in China, which is a great sight. In addition to Shaolin, Wudang, Emei and Nanquan, there are many tribes within each faction. If a certain road of each tribe has obvious characteristics, it is possible to develop into a new tribe.

3. In addition to the four schools, there are many smaller schools, which are like stars all over the sky, forming a grand view of China Wushu culture. There are many martial arts schools in China, which is very rare in the world. According to statistics, there are currently more than 300 kinds of boxing with clear history, orderly context and unique style. Guo Xifen's History of Sports in China mentioned that many sects are caused by the differences in geography, climate and people between North and South.

Northerners are tall, and the cold climate in the north has caused the prosperity and opening of school boxing in the north. There is much water in the south, and southerners are short in stature and delicate in boxing. Proverbs also have the saying "southern boxing and northern legs". Of course, this is not absolute. For example, Bagua Palm, which originated in the north, rarely attacks with legs, while Wing Chun Boxing in the south has many leg hitting skills.
