At the same time, China's traditional philosophy has a far-reaching influence on the traditional cultural value system, while China's traditional philosophy pays special attention to the cultivation of mind and nature, taking ethics as the standard. Whether it is Confucianism's dedication, intellectuality, knowledge of nature, self-cultivation, and emphasizing righteousness over profit; Taoist laws of heaven, earth and nature; The carefree journey of "no self" and "no wait" is based on noble feelings. In particular, Confucianism believes that as an individual, his life is closely related to others and the country, and the purpose of life is to be a dutiful son and a kind citizen. "A gentleman's business is life-oriented. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence! " Mr. Gu Hongming summed up the character of China people as "gentleness". Because there is a more effective, nobler and more respected "responsibility" behind China people than interest motive. This responsibility affects people's consciousness and behavior. For a samurai, his personal behavior represents the interests of a family, a Sect and even the country. He has the responsibility to maintain his overall reputation and status, so it is their bounden duty to pay attention to etiquette. Warriors are "worried about the world first, and happy after the world", and always take the principle of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".
The core of traditional philosophy is "ceremony". "Ethics constitutes the general spirit of the country" (Montesquieu, France). Due to the objective social environment of "ritual and music education", any form of activities, including martial arts activities, must "take Tao as the purpose, morality as the essence, benevolence as the basis, and art as the tour", otherwise "no rules can make Fiona Fang." The so-called rules are the norms of activities within the scope required by "courtesy". It is under the guidance of this "ceremony" that Wushu has established its own values, and gradually formed the code of conduct such as "teaching by choosing disciples", "learning from strict teachers", "respecting teachers and attaching importance to Taoism", "cultivating both body and mind", "taking martial arts as friends" and "stopping at everything". These codes and standards of conduct have been constantly improved and enriched under the historical combing and cultural accumulation, and Wushu, a by-product of war, has gradually been "ritualized" in the melting pot of "the state of etiquette". At the same time, the courtesy of self-effacing, implicit and easy-going national moral concept makes the form of Wushu take the form of focusing on moral perfection, ignoring the development of physical competitive skills, focusing on fitness and entertainment, and ignoring the form of martial arts confrontation and fighting. Confucius believes that only archery competition is the only competition between gentlemen. "A gentleman will shoot without contention! Give up and drink. Its struggle is also a gentleman. " This ideology has a great influence on the development of Wushu, which restricts the primitive and aggressive development of Wushu to a certain extent and limits the deepening of Wushu's attack and defense function. The agricultural society makes China people live a spiritual life with little or no utilitarian consciousness. China people advocate "glorifying ancestors". From the utilitarian point of view, it is difficult for future generations to give any benefits to their ancestors, but it is just a psychological pleasure that the whole world can experience. Chinese etiquette, which originated from the state of etiquette and omitted a lot of red tape, can no longer be compared with Japanese etiquette, but the heartfelt etiquette makes people feel sincere. In this social life atmosphere, Wushu gradually moves towards people's daily life, with self-care and self-entertainment as the leading forms. The level of Wushu skills is a means to make people happy. Wushu equipment has become an ornament for people to decorate their identity and family, and Wushu is regarded as a way to express their personal ability. In order to meet the needs of society and people, alienated Wushu runs through the traditional culture that China people are proud of in terms of routines, contents and drills, such as routines named after classic theories and theories, action contents arranged by traditional philosophy and boxing theories explained by traditional culture. Among them, the most important thing is the "ceremony" that runs through the routine, such as the opening ceremony before the drill, the gesture ceremony during the drill, the thank-you ceremony before the teacher, the solemn etiquette when learning to be a disciple, and the solemn etiquette and customs of the portal. This kind of "ceremony" is more about giving people a pleasant spiritual feeling, which makes Wushu appear more and more as a symbol of etiquette, but it can't produce more practical utilitarian effects.
The Taoist principle of "relying on nature and strengthening nature" further consolidates and highlights the dual cultivation attributes of Wushu. Zhuangzi, the Master of Health Care, points out that "my life is limited and my knowledge is limited, so it is dangerous to be limited by being limited". Taoism's thought of "focusing on emptiness and quietness and resting on nothingness" inhibits the development of samurai's extroversion, competitiveness and rigidity, and makes them stick to the feudal traditional "ritual" road. The widespread spread and infiltration of Buddhism among the people, as well as the views of "nothing in the world", "karma", "rebirth of life and death" and "cultivation of self-cultivation" have had a wide and profound impact on the spiritual core of Wushu, which has made the samurai afraid of the fate of retribution for evil deeds to a certain extent, and the ethical consciousness of observing "rites" and stressing "morality" is deeply rooted in their hearts.
There are many records about self-cultivation in China's ancient masterpieces, all of which are aimed at persuading people to cultivate self-cultivation. "Huai Nan Zi Yuan Dao Xun" contains: "The man who is in the shape of a husband is born; Angry people are full of life; God, the system of life; Losing your position is three evils. " Therefore, the principle of self-cultivation is put forward, that is, "the essence and spirit must be nurtured, the qi must be eliminated, and the form must be equally responsible", and "keeping the position is irrelevant". In addition, there are also a lot of discussions on internal cultivation and self-cultivation in the works such as Bao Puzi, Tong Canqi of Zhouyi, Guiting Jing and Tips for Health Preservation. These classics have a strong influence on Wushu, which not only enriches the content of Wushu practice and promotes the scientificity of Wushu, but also provides direct cultivation skills for Wushu practitioners. Therefore, martial arts practitioners also pursue "practicing bones and muscles outside and practicing spirit inside." The essence of self-cultivation is to improve people's ethical and moral cultivation level, and to achieve "three provinces and three provinces" at ordinary times can continuously improve the cultivation realm and become a modest gentleman with a broad mind.
While China's ancient material civilization was at the forefront of the world, its spiritual civilization became a model for all countries in the world. "Civilization is the state of human intellectual and moral progress." ([Fukuzawa Yukichi]) Indeed, the development of ancient civilization in China has improved the overall quality of the people, thus forming a good civilized social environment. Even martial arts originated from war have become more and more civilized.
In the historical process of the whole feudal society, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism infiltrated each other, especially Confucianism had a far-reaching influence, which made the ethical concept of "ceremony" in Wushu classes more deeply rooted. All these make the development of Wushu conform to the social trend, become an integral part of social life, and become the concrete embodiment of the "ritual" culture in China culture.
There are many martial arts commandments centered on ceremony, such as the Ten Commandments of Shaolin, the Ten Commandments of bunting, the Ten Commandments of Wudang and the Ten Commandments of various schools, all of which reflect the influence of traditional moral norms, such as "Benevolence loves people", "sage plants", "benevolence, righteousness, ceremony, filial piety and faith". There are "one precept for conceit, two precepts for service, three precepts for profit, three precepts for murder and temptation, and five precepts for superciliousness" in Qing Ping Key Jian Zhen. It is a brave move to state in the Shaolin precepts that only self-defense is allowed and personal invasion is forbidden. Children, a modern martial artist, comprehensively summed up in The Warrior's Notes: "Perseverance, discipline, strategy, arrogance and loyalty" are the "etiquette" of martial artists-the standard of martial arts. While formulating the martial arts discipline, the martial arts community has always emphasized "valuing morality with martial arts", "respecting morality with martial arts" and "learning from the prophet before learning arts, learning from martial arts before learning morality". While practicing martial arts, we should pursue the synchronous cultivation of martial arts. Generally, martial arts are superior to the strong, and martial arts are even more admirable. Usually, martial arts practitioners pay special attention to the cultivation of "hand virtue", "mouth virtue" and "heart virtue", that is, they are required not to show their martial arts, not to hurt people with their hands, and to be lenient when fighting with each other. Nor should we be arrogant, harmful, provocative or expose shortcomings. Treat people with sincerity, treat people with courtesy, respect teachers, be helpful, abstain from violence, be brave in taking responsibility, be broad-minded and generous. After social development enters the information age, Wushu morality is not only a very useful code of conduct for Wushu practitioners, but also a fine tradition that all members of society can learn from. Especially in today's era of global cultural integration and industry-oriented social structure, it is China people's due contribution to all mankind to maintain the vitality of excellent national culture, carry forward national culture and enhance the level of civilization. Talents with noble virtues are the premise of giving full play to the role of "social people" in social groups, ensuring the display of individual wisdom and ability, ensuring the overall strength of society and promoting social progress.
