Physical education first appeared in China at the beginning of 20th century and the end of Qing dynasty, which originated from the educational policy of setting up kindergartens in Hubei and giving children comprehensive health care. On July 9, 2009, the State Sports General Administration redefined "traditional sports": Wushu is a traditional sports event with Chinese culture as the theoretical basis, Wushu as the basic content and routine, fighting and Wushu as the main sports forms.

In form, it distinguishes the "Wushu" of traditional sports defined by the State Sports General Administration from the traditional Wushu of China preserved by the people.

Sports Wushu relationship

Looking back at the development history of the Chinese nation, before modern times, there was no concept of "sports" at all, only "literature and martial arts". Wushu, in a broad sense, has included all forms of sports and is not limited to the external forms of sports.

We are familiar with such sports forms as "Crossing Yang with Hundred Steps", "Floating on the Water", "Walking in the Pacific Ocean" and "Holding a Stone Lock", all of which belong to the category of ancient China Wushu.

Under the framework of competitive sports dominated by modern western anatomy, contemporary Wushu is classified as a sport in the category of beauty, which is only a few tenths of the sport.

In fact, Wushu not only covers many sports forms of western sports, but also has unique traditional sports forms, profound thoughts and heavy culture of the East. From this perspective, Wushu is not subordinate to sports, but a superior sports concept.
