How much do you know about Chinese KungFu

 

Kung Fu, also known as Chinese kung fu and Traditional Chinese martial arts, is another name for "martial arts" in the late Qing Dynasty. It is mainly reflected in the application and attainments of individuals in martial arts. It is more philosophical, technology-oriented to "stop invasion", and enters into the traditional education and personal practice of understanding the objective laws of man and nature and society.

Chinese kung fu has a wide influence in the world. There are not only a large number of Chinese and foreign films and television works on the subject of Chinese kung fu, but also Shaolin, Tai Chi, Wing Chun and other Chinese kung fu widely spread around the world. At present, the traditional Chinese kung fu has been retained and carried forward in the whole country.
Kung Fu was first embodied in the performing arts, mainly in the form of stage drama before the advent of movies.

Because opera and drama are widely spread among the people, and the real martial arts have always been secret skills of the royal family and nobles, so it is rare for people to see the true martial arts (the whole picture). Later, the wide spread of "Chinese martial arts" and "Chinese Kung fu" in film art created a preconceived impression of "martial arts" of routine and performance in ordinary people, leading to the evolution and routine of modern people's concept of Chinese martial arts.
However, in the folk, there have always been groups who practice traditional Chinese martial arts, still uphold its traditional integrity of not performing or competing, introverted and respectful, and widely spread among the folk.

There are so many different fighting skills in the world, and so many different factions. But no other fighting skills, such as taekwondo, karate, boxing, etc., are comparable to kung fu. Because kung Fu is not only a fighting skill, but also a spiritual culture.
Kung fu emerged because of the suppression of the Qing Dynasty and the blockade of iron weapons, and the root of kung fu is the determined resistance of the governed to the ruler.

Chinese kung fu is the cultural essence of the Chinese nation after thousands of years of war. Martial arts based on actual combat (such as Wing Chun) have also been learned and spread by many countries around the world, and developed rapidly because of its philosophical meaning of "having strength, winning without fighting", which is highly recognized.

Chinese wushu not only covers many forms of western sports, but also has unique Oriental traditional sports forms, profound thoughts and profound culture.

The "martial arts" displayed by performance is the dance art, which cannot show the real action and effect of martial arts. Competition is a momentary art. Martial arts displayed in a competitive way can not reflect the deterrence brought by the destruction of martial arts. Metaphysical, can not reflect the martial arts to the practitioners of the spirit of the comprehensive quality of improvement. Therefore, if we measure the effect of wushu by the effect of dance and competitive results, we are falling into the wrong shackles and cannot understand the real Chinese Kungfu.

Chinese kung fu has a history of 4,200 years

Kung Fu is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation, the embodiment of traditional Chinese culture, and the unique "martial arts" in the world. It emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness, and has both internal and external . It not only has a strong and beautiful appearance, but has elegant and profound connotation. It contains the sage's meditation on life and the universe, and is a precious cultural heritage accumulated by the Chinese working people for a long time.
