摘要
对一如流水的历史进行分期,是史学研究的基本方法与通例,旨在揭示不同历史时期或阶段之间的差异,从中把握历史发展的特点及规律。因此,要清晰彰显古代武术不同时期的基本特征及发展规律,也当然离不开对它的历史分期研究。所谓"古代武术",是指由先秦时期至清末这一历史时期内的武术活动。在中华武术历史进程中,古代武术的历史绵延时间最长,其内容也最为丰富。对古代武术的历史进行分期并进而归纳出各时期的基本特征,并非研究者的"发思古之幽情",而自有其多重的学术意义和理论价值:首先,可以较为清晰地显现中华武术在二十世纪之前从萌芽、形成到发展、成熟的逶迤历史进程;其次,可以反映古代武术在历史发展过程中对于其他临近文化的摄取与融合;再次,有助于对中华武术历史基本规律的总结和把握,以对新世纪武术发展提供"执古之道,以御今有"的历史借鉴。
To make a division of historical periods that flow like a river is a basic method and usual practice in historical study,which aims at revealing the differences at different historical periods or stages and grasping the characteristics and laws of historical development from it.Therefore,to highlight basic characteristics and laws of development of ancient wushu (martial arts) at different periods cannot do without the study of its historical period division as well.The so-called 'ancient wushu' refers to the wushu activities during the historical period from Pre-Qin (the Qin Dynasty:221-206 B.C.) Period to the end of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).In the historical process of Chinese wushu,ancient wushu has the longest stretching time with the richest contents.The purpose of period division for the history of ancient wushu and then generalizing the basic characteristics of each period is not to express the researcher's melancholy feeling of reminiscence for ancient times,but because of its multiple academic significance and theoretical values of its own.Firstly,it can clearly display the meandering historical process of Chinese wushu from germination and formation to growth and maturation before the twentieth century.Secondly,it can reflect the absorption and integration towards other approaching cultures during the course of ancient wushu's historical development.Thirdly and lastly,it can help summarize and grasp the basic laws of Chinese wushu history,and provide a historical reference that 'those who understand ancient ways can manage today's things' for wushu's development in the new century.
