Based on traditional Chinese martial arts, this study explores the development of
their values and dilemmas in modern society, and proposes paths to cope with them.
Traditional Wushu carries multiple values such as technical combat, health preservation,
cultural inheritance and spiritual cultivation, but in the context of modernisation and
globalisation, it faces challenges such as declining cultural status, functional
transformation and social identity.
Objective of the study: to sort out the value evolution of traditional wushu, analyse
its value transformation in modern society, reveal the dilemmas and causes, and explore
the path of inheritance and development.
Research Methods: This study uses literature analysis, field research, interviews and
questionnaires, combined with SWOT analysis and cultural identity evaluation model to
explore the modern dilemmas and solutions of traditional Wushu. The subjects of the
study include five experts with rich experience in martial arts, 200 martial arts enthusiasts,
and five martial arts institutions. Through expert interviews, questionnaire surveys and
in-depth interviews, multi-level data support on the change of value orientation,
contemporary cognition and inheritance practices of traditional wushu were collected.
FINDINGS: Traditional Wushu presents a dual identity in modern society. The core
values face challenges, such as the weakening of skill inheritance, the dilution of cultural
connotation, the decline of social concern and the ambiguous positioning in international
communication; however, they also show new and diversified values, such as the
functions of national fitness, cultural communication and spiritual education. The study
suggests that the multiple values of Wushu can be further explored through educational
promotion, technological innovation and policy support.
Conclusion: The modern development of traditional Wushu is a dynamic adaptation
of core values and modern needs. By protecting tradition, promoting innovation, and
balancing globalisation and localisation, the cultural values and social functions of
traditional Wushu can be innovatively developed and become an important carrier of
Chinese culture to the world. In the future, we should improve the inheritance mechanism,
enhance public recognition, and deepen its application in the cultural industry, education
and international communication.
