武学修炼体系与道家“气”论

The Wushu Cultivation System and the "Qi" Theory in Taoism

"气"是中国古代哲学的核心范畴,是中国文化思想中人们对自然界现象的一种朴素的认识基础,也是道家哲学的主要命题。道家用"气"字来代表宇宙万物的根本,"气"也即"道",万物变化皆由天地产生的阴阳二气和阴阳混合之气而生成。道家的养生以"气"的修炼建立了武学修炼的基础与根本,是研究武学的重要哲学思想与技术渊源。

'Qi' (energy flow), which is the core concept in the ancient China' s philosophy, is the foundation for people's knowledge of natural phenomena in Chinese culture, as well as the main topic in Taoism. According to Taoism, 'Qi' is the origin of the cosmos, and therefore 'Qi' is also 'Tao', which was generated from Yin and Yang's harmonization and further generates all other things in this universe. In Taoism, 'Qi' is important in terms of health-preservation, and this builds up the wushu(martial arts) cultivation system. Thus it is important to study such an important philosophy and technical origin.
