试论运用口述史方法研究中华传统武术的可行性

Feasibility of Studying Traditional Chinese Wushu with Oral History Method

为了保护中华传统武术这项非物质文化遗产以及促使其在全世界范围内得到更广泛的推广,对于中华传统武术的研究显得至关重要。而由于中华传统武术大多是在民间进行推广,因此仅仅依靠书面记载的史料已经无法满足研究的需要,在这种情况下,中华传统武术的研究必须要借鉴口述史的方法,而运用口述史方法研究中华传统武术也具有很大的可行性。本文在对口述史以及中华武术做出简要概述的基础上,进一步论述了运用口述史方法研究中华传统武术的可行性。

In order to protect traditional Chinese wushu(martial arts) as an intangible cultural heritage and promote wushu's spreading around the world more widely, the study on traditional Chinese wushu seems to be of vital importance. Since traditional Chinese wushu is mostly spread among the folk, merely depending on the historical materials on written records is not able to meet the needs of research. In this case, the study on traditional Chinese wushu must use oral history method for reference, and using oral history method to study traditional Chinese wushu also has great feasibility. On the basis of briefly sketching oral history method and Chinese wushu, this paper further expounds the feasibility of studying traditional Chinese wushu with the application of oral history method.
