Briefly describe the function of martial arts movements.
The sum of the spiritual and material effects and functions of Wushu on society, and the continuous understanding and further development of Wushu will certainly promote the development and progress of Wushu. Wushu, as a unique national sport, has been deeply influenced by the traditional culture of China in the course of its development for thousands of years, and its function also shows diversified cultural values. In each specific historical period, the values and behaviors of Wushu have different and multifaceted effects and influences on society. To sum up, there are four kinds. (1) Fitness Function: During its formation and development, Wushu absorbed many essences of Chinese medicine, health preservation and bionics, and became one of the mass fitness programs. As a fitness project, Wushu is different from other sports in that it stresses the concepts of "internal and external cultivation" and "spiritual cultivation" and emphasizes the high unity of consciousness and body movements, that is, "the integration of body and mind". Nowadays, a large number of scientific practices have proved the role of Wushu in fitness and health preservation. The principles of Wushu, such as "opposing one's will with one's mind", "opposing one's will with one's mind" and "transporting the body with qi", are also very beneficial to the exercise of human nervous system. The influence of Wushu on human physiology and biochemistry is all-round. Long-term Wushu training can develop the comprehensive physical qualities of human body, such as speed, agility, coordination, flexibility, endurance, bounce, etc. Improve the function of internal organs, promote the all-round development of the body and enhance physical fitness; Improve the adaptability and immune function of human body, and delay the natural aging of human body. (2) Cultivation function of self-cultivation: The cultivation function of Wushu mainly refers to the improvement and promotion of Wushu morality. China's traditional culture belongs to the ethical culture with the goal of "doing good", and the exploration of practical technology is often subordinate to or based on ethical basis. Wushu has naturally become a carrier tool to strengthen moral cultivation, objectively has the function of nourishing the heart and nature, and has become an important means for martial arts practitioners to pursue individual consciousness, spiritual realization and personality value. The edifying function of Wushu is mainly manifested in the following aspects: promoting personal integration into society, realizing moral purification, and pursuing the ideological realm of "harmony between man and nature" (3) the aesthetic function of combining martial arts with martial arts: Wushu has two forms: one is the practice of routines; The second is unarmed or armed confrontation. It is the combination of the two that brings out the best in each other, which fully embodies the unique aesthetic characteristics of China's traditional aesthetics of "showing truth with beauty" and "preserving goodness with beauty", and also enables people to be entertained, cultivated and purified in aesthetic taste. The aesthetic function of Wushu is embodied in three independent and interrelated aspects: pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the heart, which can also be understood as three levels in aesthetic form. They play their respective roles in turn. (4) Self-defense function with both offensive and defensive functions: "Self-defense" is the most fundamental purpose of Wushu at the beginning of its emergence. In the harsh living environment at that time, our primitive ancestors relied on tenacious survival consciousness and simple tools to help their fists and feet hunt for food and protect their own safety in order to fight for the right to survive, which can be described as the initial driving force for the development of Wushu. With the accumulation of life experience, people have realized the necessity of summing up combat experience to improve their combat defense ability, and then sort out, summarize and refine simple and practical methods and implement necessary training. This should be said to be the initial embodiment of the martial arts fighting system. With the development of society, the scope of fighting has been expanded again and again, and martial arts fighting techniques have been applied to all aspects of social life, especially in the era of cold weapons, and martial arts fighting techniques have always been the most important means of fighting and killing. Due to the long time, the continuous accumulation and dissemination of people's actual combat experience, and the continuous improvement of people's cognitive ability, this skill has become more abundant and perfect, and gradually formed a complete martial arts fighting technology system, with orderly attack and defense, which embodies the wisdom of the East.
