The resulting phenomenon was that military wushu and folk wushu had their own features but were interconnected. During the Western Chou dynasty, after the collapse of the slavery system, military wushu (which had been controlled by the slave masters) was introduced to the ordinary people. In the early development stage of wushu, its whole content was military wushu. In ancient times, those martial arts practiced by military personnel were called “military wushu.” Those outside of “military wushu” were called “folk wushu,” practiced by ordinary people. In the Chinese history of martial arts, “traditional wushu” has often combined “military wushu” and “folk wushu” into one.
So-called “traditional wushu” refers to a martial art that has its roots in China. Inheriting all that is excellent in Chinese culture, it is regarded by the Chinese as a cultural treasure. It mixes in a philosophy of living and an understanding of the human condition. Chinese wushu is not only treasured for defense, physical exercise, preventing illness, and longevity, it also best illustrates Chinese behavior, morality, philosophy, and aesthetic expression. Its association with Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and hundreds of other Chinese philosophical systems cannot be ignored. Over its five-thousand-year history, it has acquired a theoretical framework that embraces many Chinese traditional cultures (classical philosophy, ethics, militia, regimen, Chinese medicine, and aesthetic, etc.). It is so broad that one cannot see its edges. It is broad and deep and so profound that one cannot see its beginning or its end. In the long golden river of Chinese cultural history, wushu is a feature of great significance. The correct name is, indeed, wushu, as I discussed in detail in my article, “ Wushu Needs Name Rectification” But, if one mentions kung fu, everyone knows what is meant. When one mentions wushu, many Americans may not understand. Wushu concept, theories, principles, and philosophies Tradition Wushu and Competition Wushu
