Was Wudang Wushu created by Zhang Sanfeng?
Taoism spread for nearly 2000 years, Zhang Sanfeng was only 600 years old, and Wudang Mountain has a history of 1200 years. Before Zhang Sanfeng, Wudang Mountain was already a place of local Taoism, where Taoist priests had long lived in seclusion and created martial arts. Even after Zhang Sanfeng came to Wudang Mountain, he also created Wudang Neijia Boxing, of which Tai Ji Chuan was the representative, which was widely circulated. Wudang Mountain before Zhang Sanfeng was still a deep forest, far away from the world. Taoist practitioners there practice martial arts mainly for self-protection. It should be an almost isolated environment where they can sit down and meditate while practicing martial arts. The root of Wudang Wu Neijia Boxing is also here. Unlike Shaolin Temple, they didn't have so many grudges from the beginning. The main task of Shaolin disciple martial arts is to defend the country, eliminate rape and evil, and often fight against some foreign forces or gangs, which makes Shaolin kungfu powerful and fierce. Wudang Wushu is different. Because it lives in the deep mountains, outsiders either don't know about it or can't go, so Wudang Mountain was not famous nearly 1000 years before Zhang Sanfeng, and many people were even more stupid and didn't know about it. Taoism also pays attention to the unity of man and nature. At that time, the only threat of Taoist people was the wild animals on the mountain, but the core of the unity of man and nature was not allowed to hurt them. Therefore, the main task of Wudang Taoist martial arts is self-defense, and it is the originator of Neijia Boxing. Any kung fu with internal skills must have originated in Wudang, and later evolved into a center after nearly a thousand years. Including Tai Ji Chuan's self-defense, and more importantly, self-cultivation. Therefore, Wudang Wushu seems to be feminine on the surface, but in fact it pays attention to both rigidity and softness, and has just become another source of world Wushu.
