Wushu dance is a kind of sports and cultural activity that combines strength and beauty. In ancient times, martial arts dance was not only used for military training and sacrificial activities, but also for emotion and entertainment spirit. The training of various body movements is to improve the ability of primitive humans (war, hunting, production) and to show off their skills. The development of war and production promoted the development and progress of Wushu.

With the change of history, the definition of Wushu and dance has been clearly distinguished:

Dance is an artistic expression based on refining, organizing and beautifying human movements, focusing on the inner deep spiritual world and reflecting social life. Dance is the body language of inner spirit.

Martial arts originated from the evolution of natural fighting and fighting methods between ancient humans, which is the fighting of human living space, thus forming the technological evolution of spatial fighting methods and equipment fighting.

The difference between Wushu and dance;

1, performance properties. Wushu, as a military training project, pays attention to both internal and external training, such as holistic view, yin-yang change view, theory of form and spirit, etc. And dance pays more attention to artistic expression, which is a true portrayal of people's hearts and their spiritual world.

2. Expressiveness. Wushu is characterized by both internal and external cultivation, which is a major feature of China Wushu. Inside and outside, form and God are interrelated and unified. And dance is an elegant product of the combination of body and music.

3. purpose. Wu is a mode of production and a self-protection function; Dance is a product of recreation, venting and self-expression.

In modern times, martial arts and dance are still harmonious. Wushu, also known as Wushu, is not a simple Wushu, but a combination of strength and beauty. There is no martial arts abroad, only dance, and it also pays attention to the combination of strength and beauty, and it also integrates martial arts. Many dances at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games also have the fusion of martial arts and dance. The difference between Wushu and dance is a development. With the continuous development, "new artistic style" may appear.
