近代文化保守与激进主义思潮下武术发展之嬗变

Wushu Development changes under influences of modern cultural conservatism and radicalism

近代思想文化史上保守与激进两种思潮间的震荡和冲突,给中国传统文化及在此环境中成长起来的中国武术带来了巨大的冲击,并成为武术发展的外在动因。研究认为,没有文化保守主义的保存国粹,就没有中国武术走上体育化的道路;没有文化激进主义的科学主义,就没有中国武术科学化的理念。尽管二者在某种意义上对武术的认识均存在不同的局限性,但从中国近代武术发展的总趋势看,正是这种文化保守与激进主义思潮下的两极互动所形成的合力,客观上推动武术文化形成了新旧杂糅与中西折衷的初期形态。

Modern cultural conservatism and radicalism in China have intluenced Wushu development in that the former has helped preserve the Chinese traditional sports and the latter has helped Chinese Wushu become more scientific. It is because the combination of the two ideologies that Wushu has embraced the old tradition with the new ideas and been know internationally.
