道家身体观之于竞技武术的当代意蕴

The Contemporary Implication of Taoist Body View on Competitive Wushu

竞技武术的发展让全世界看到了来自东方的身体艺术,但以比赛为目的的竞技武术以最大限度发挥个人运动潜能和争取优异成绩,高水平、超负荷和突出竞技性的特点与传统武术要求习武者德才兼备、形神双修的思想相去甚远。回顾道家对身体的认识,探讨道家以气为本、以生命为本位,做减法的养身思想的当代意蕴。在道家身体观的思想影响下,武术技术讲究巧劲、意境与神韵,武术理论富有哲学性,习武者通过习练武术明拳理懂人生,进而超越身体活动实现人格理想,表现出道家率性放达的身体哲学,展现了当代竞技武术的另一面。

The development of competitive Wushu enables the world to see the body art from the east.However,competitive Wushu for the purpose of competition maximizes the potential of individual sports and strives for excellent performance.Its high level,overload and outstanding competitiveness are far from the traditional Wushu which requires both the integrity and ability of practitioners and the cultivation of both physical and mental forms.This paper reviews the Taoist understanding of the body,and discusses the contemporary implication of the Taoist thought of taking qi as the foundation,life as the standard,and doing subtraction.Under the influence of Taoist body view,Wushu techniques pay attention to the subtlety,artistic conception and charm,and Wushu theory is philosophical.Martial artists understand life through practicing Wushu and Ming boxing,and then transcend physical activities to achieve the ideal of personality,showing the Taoist body philosophy of freedom and freedom and showing another side of contemporary competitive Wushu.
