文化面面觀

Kung fu and wushu are popular terms that have become synonymous with Chinese martial arts. However, the Chinese terms kung fu (Chinese: 功夫 pinyin: gōngfū) and wushu (traditional Chinese: 武術(shù); simplified Chinese: 武術(shù); pinyin: wǔshù) have very different meanings. Wushu can describe greatly varying martial arts traditions. Kung fu can be used in a context without any martial arts whatsoever. Colloquially, kung fu (or gung fu) alludes to any individual accomplishment or cultivated skill obtained by long and hard work. In contrast, wushu is a more precise term that refers to general martial activities. The term wushu has also become the name for a modern sport similar to gymnastics, involving the performance of adapted Chinese bare-handed and weapons forms (tàolù 套路) judged to a set of contemporary aesthetic criteria for points.

中國武術(shù)是中國傳統(tǒng)文化的重要一環(huán)。兩廣人稱為功夫，民國初期簡稱為國術(shù)被視為中國文化之精粹，故又稱國粹。由于歷史發(fā)展和地域分布關(guān)系，衍生出不同流派。中國武術(shù)主要內(nèi)容包括搏擊技巧；格斗手法；攻防策略和武器使用等技術(shù)。當中又分為理論和實踐兩個范疇。從實踐中帶來了有關(guān)體育、健身、和中國武術(shù)獨有之氣功、及養(yǎng)生等重要功能。理論中帶來了不少前人之經(jīng)驗和拳譜記錄。因此，它體現(xiàn)中華民族對攻防技擊及策略上的理解。加上經(jīng)驗上積累，以自立、自強、健體養(yǎng)生為目標的自我運作，練習(xí)套路時顯示出身體動作之優(yōu)美姿態(tài)。中國武術(shù)往往帶有思想冶煉的文化特征及人文哲學(xué)的特色、意義，對現(xiàn)今中國的大眾文化有著深遠影響。

中國武術(shù)門派之多，在世界武術(shù)中也是非常少見的。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，中國目前有「歷史清楚，脈絡(luò)有序，風(fēng)格獨特，自成體系」的拳種約300多個。郭希汾的《中國體育史》中提到門派眾多是由于南北地理、氣候、人的不同而造成的。北方人身材高大，北方氣候嚴寒造成北派拳術(shù)氣勢雄勁，大開大合。南方多水，南方人身材矮小，拳術(shù)也比較細膩。諺語也有「南拳北腿」之說。當然這并不是絕對的，例如起源自北方的八卦掌就很少用腿攻擊，而南方的詠春拳卻有不少腿擊技巧。中國武術(shù)的流派繁多，卻沒有統(tǒng)一的命名方法。有些按地區(qū)命名（如河南派心意拳）；一些按山脈、河流（如武當派）；有以宗師姓氏命名（如楊氏太極拳）……以往，這些流派會以主修內(nèi)功、外功來粗略劃分，成為內(nèi)家拳和外家拳兩大類；現(xiàn)代，一般按其內(nèi)容分為套路和搏擊格斗兩個類別。
