中国功夫:从实战技击到文化传承的千年演进
What is the Real Chinese Kung Fu
Chinese Kung Fu, also known as Chinese martial arts, is a traditional sport that integrates combat techniques, routines, and culture. With a long history and numerous schools, it emphasizes the cultivation of both inner and outer qualities and embodies rich philosophical thoughts and cultural connotations. It is not only a means of self-defense but also an important way to exercise the body and mind and promote Chinese culture.
The Essence of Martial Arts Culture
The essence of martial arts culture lies in the spiritual home of human beings, seeking peace and harmony (referred to as "non-fighting") through the interdependence of nature, rather than fighting. At least, this has always been the case with the mainstream.
Other Types of Kung Fu
