当代西北棍术发展思路的探究

An Exploration on Development Thinking of Modern Xigun(Northwest Cudgel Play)

西北棍术历史悠久,是起源和流传在陕西、甘肃、宁夏、青海等西北地区的棍术体系。西北棍术内容丰富,与少林棍、南棍、东棍等其他棍术相比较,具有自己的特色和风格。在近现代武术的变中,西北棍术依旧保持着军旅武艺的旧有风貌。但在冷兵器时代消亡的大背景下,当代西北棍术一方面仍保持其固有的本性,另一方面却由于受到现代竞技武术的影响,在许多棍术中出现和夹杂了现代竞技武术的动作和风格。本文基于当代西北棍术的现状,探求西北棍术在当代社会的发展思路,以期为西北棍术今后的发展提供理论依据和参考建议。当代西北棍术在市场化的现代社会,仍需不断地提高各棍术的技法和训练,并且应在西北区域建立一体化发展的格局,走市场化发展之路,着力加强对外的推广,并进行系统化科学研究。这样不仅可以使具有军旅武艺的西北棍术得以继承和广大,同时也可形成西北武术的一个区域优势和特色,并且能够带动中国武术器械武艺的复兴,使古老的武术在当代焕发出新的生机。

With a long history,xigun(northwest cudgel play) is a cudgel play system originated and spread within China's northwest regions like Shaanxi,Gansu and Qinghai provinces and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.Xigun is rich in contents and has its own characteristics and styles compared with Shaolingun(Shaolin cudgel play),nangun(south cudgel play),donggun(east cudgel play) and other cudgel plays.In the constant changes of modern wushu(martial arts),xigun still keeps its old styles and features of military martial arts.However,under the background that a cold weapon age is dying out,modern xigun,on the one hand still remains its inherent natures,on the other hand,due to the impact of modern competitive wushu,many movements and styles of modern competitive wushu also appear and are mixed in it.Based on the xigun's present situations,this article explores development thinking for xigun in modern society,in hope to provide theoretical basis and references for its future developments.In the market society nowadays,the skills and training of various cudgel arts in xigun need to be constantly enhanced and a pattern of integrated development should be set up in northwest regions.Xigun should go on a market-oriented developing way,focus on strengthening an external promotion,and undertake a systematic and scientific study.By doing so,not only can xigun with military martial arts be inherited and enlarged,a regional advantage and feature of the play can also be formed,thereby spurring the revival of weapon martial arts of Chinese wushu and making this old martial arts fresh with new vitality.
