Wudang martial arts originated in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province. Its founder was Wudang Taoist Zhang Sanfeng at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Sanfeng skillfully integrated the essence of the Book of Changes and the Tao Te Ching with martial arts, creating Wudang martial arts with important health and fitness values, with Taijiquan, Xingyiquan and Bagua Palm as the main body. Over the past few hundred years, countless Chinese cultural schools have gradually formed, which take "truth" as the core "," health preservation as the purpose "," combat as the end "," morality as the style ", and" nature as the charm ".
The cultural characteristics of Wudang Wushu. Wudang martial arts is the product of the integration of Taoism culture and Chinese traditional martial arts. It is a natural combination of martial arts and health preservation methods. It has both profound traditional martial arts culture and exquisite scientific principles. Taijiquan emphasizes "using your heart first" and then "using your body to follow your heart". Xingyi Boxing stresses "using your mind without exertion, using your mind to get your qi, and using your qi to get your strength". The Bagua Palm requires you to walk in circles and "using your mind to get your feet". All of these reflect the fitness purpose of Taoism, which is "hiding in the Tao" to achieve the goal of "where you want to push your intentions, and prolonging your life without getting old". It is in line with the sports concept of combining physical training with psychological training, which is the combination of internal training and external training.
The characteristics of the theoretical system and technical system of wudang wushu. Wudang martial arts theory system and fighting system are relatively complete. It takes "the view of the universe as a whole", "the view of the unity of heaven and man" as its purpose, "virtue carries things", "Taoism follows nature" as its principle, and "combination of movement and stillness", "internal and external cultivation" as its method to form many distinctive boxing and sword techniques, which have both principles and techniques, as well as routine operations and the main thrust. These are embodied in Zhang Sanfeng's Three Classics: "General Theory of Taijiquan", "Song of Taijiquan", and "Thirteen Forms of Taijiquan".
Wudang martial arts used to take Wudang Mountain as the cultural space. Historically, there were countless reclusive people and professional monks living in Wudang Mountain. Through their cultivation and dissemination, Wudang martial arts became more and more skilled and famous, and eventually spread all over China.
However, with the development of modern society, there are also some obstacles in the inheritance of Wudang martial arts. First of all, the early Wudang martial arts were bound by the Taoist idea of "secret monologue", with a narrow spread; Secondly, most of the current successors are old and scattered all over the country, so the exploitation and utilization of Wudang martial arts resources are limited; Thirdly, the theoretical research of Wudang Wushu is not enough, and its cultural significance needs to be further explored. Under this situation, it is necessary to quickly formulate reasonable and feasible measures to rescue, protect, sort out and develop Wudang martial arts.
