“发而皆中节”是指武术功夫无过不及的身体权变能力或境界,这需要经历合规矩的习拳规之“中”、用规矩的查拳理之“中”、脱规矩的现主体之“中”的习拳历程。武术功夫习练是对中华优秀传统文化“发而皆中节”的创新传承与实践,武术功夫习练与践行中华优秀传统文化相辅相成,在合文化规矩之“中”与合自我天赋天性之“中”的功夫技艺中实现身心改变并生成身体主体,身体能力成为武术主体自我确证的依据,这是武术对传承中华优秀传统文化的实践智慧,也是武术研究的文化自觉。

“All in due degree” refers to the physically qualified state of equilibrium that Wushu pursues,which requires equilibrium in learning,applying and breaking the rules and principles of Wushu. The practice of Wushu skills is an innovative inheritance and practice of the fine traditional Chinese culture. The practice of Wushu and the inheritance of the fine traditional culture of the Chinese nation are mutually reinforcing. It is in the equilibrium of the culture and individual talent that practitioners of Wushu find themselves improved both physically and mentally,which therefore generates the body subject,and the very existence of Wushu subject is verified by the acquired physical abilities.
