Nanyang Wushu fest seen as a cultural attraction

THE 19th Nanyang Wushu Festival in Kuching is expected to attract more visitors to Sarawak.

“We have been working with the Nanyang Wushu Federation of Sarawak for 10 years and we find that the festival not only promotes cultural values but Sarawak as well,” said Sports Toto Malaysia communications manager Emily Tan during a cheque-presentation ceremony in Kuching yesterday.

Nanyang Wushu Federation of Sarawak chairman Professor Dr Song Swee Hee said the World Hall of Fame Conference during the festival had the potential to be a cultural attraction for Sarawak.

“We are thankful for the state’s support and hope the festival will be included in the Sarawak Tourism calendar. It has already attracted exponents from Taiwan, Australia, the United States, Canada and Singapore and more will come,” he said.

Sports Toto Malaysia contributed RM20,000 to the federation as part of its corporate social responsibility and aims to be more diversified in charity work.

“We want to broaden our scope by nurturing the growth of sports and culture as well as help the less fortunate.”

The festival from Aug 5 to 7 will be packed with activities such as the Nanyang Wushu Golden Dragon and Lion Dance Festival, Chinese New Year Festival Show and Drum Festival.

Among the important events during the festival is the 7th World Hall of Fame Conference 2010 themed Giving Due Recognition and Honour to Outstanding Martial Arts.

The festival’s highlight will be the 8th Malaysia Sarawak International Nanyang Wushu Kung-Fu, Dragon and Lion Dance Festival, the World Martial Arts Top Level Celebrities Demonstration Match and the World Hall of Fame Seminar to be held at Crown Tower in Jalan Pending.

The official opening will be done by MBKS mayor James Chan on Aug 5 while the grand finale, the World Hall of Fame Awards Banquet, will be officiated by Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr George Chan on Aug 7.

MCA president lauds association for promoting sports and cultural events
By CHITRA S. NATHAN

MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek has commended the Negri Sembilan Chin Woo Athletic Association for promoting sports and cultural events.

“I hope the association, through its many sporting and cultural activities, continues to contribute to society and our nation,” he told an audience of almost 1,000 people at the Chung Hua High School in Seremban on Monday.

The association is the second oldest in the country and has some 1,000 members, including students from 40 schools statewide.


In action: Wushu athletes performing during the anniversary celebration.

Association president Chong Kim Fatt said the association was started to promote wushu, a Chinese martial art, not just for self-defence but as an activity with health benefits.

Chong said wushu, although rooted in Chinese culture, could be practised by anyone regardless of race or religion.

“We hope to get more people involved in this sport. At the moment, we have a few Malay and Indian students in our association.

He said wushu was now practised in more than 100 countries in the International Wushu Federation.

Chong said the first national inter-school wushu championship would be held in Seremban next month attesting to the association’s efforts in promoting the sport.


Thank you: Chua (right) receiving a token of appreciation from Chong (centre). With them is Kee.

“Negri Sembilan was the first state to organise an inter-school wushu competition a few years ago and this was thanks to the support and cooperation we received from the state government.

“Now, we will be hosting our first national meet with more than 1,000 athletes from 12 states taking part,” he said, adding that the association’s wushu athletes had represented the state and country at national and international meets.

Guests at the function were treated to a dinner and entertainment with Chinese drum performances and wushu displays throughout the four-hour event.

This year also marks the association’s centennary celebration.

The movement was founded a century ago in Shanghai by grandmaster Huo Yuanjia to promote wushu as an art form under a common banner.

Since its establishment, the movement has spread its wings across the globe and there are now 19 branches in Malaysia.

Also present at the event was Malaysian Wushu Federation president Datuk Seri Kee Yong Wee.

The Historical Moments....

The genesis of Chinese martial arts has been attributed to the need for self-defense, hunting techniques and military training in ancient China. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons practice were important in training ancient Chinese soldiers.[3][4]


Ancient depiction of fighting monks practicing the art of self-defense.According to legend, Chinese martial arts originated during the semi-mythical Xia Dynasty (夏朝) more than 4,000 years ago.[5] It is said the Yellow Emperor Huangdi (legendary date of ascension 2698 BCE) introduced the earliest fighting systems to China.[6] The Yellow Emperor is described as a famous general who, before becoming China’s leader, wrote lengthy treatises on medicine, astrology and the martial arts. He allegedly developed the practice of jiao di and utilized it in war.[7]

Early history
Shǒubó (手搏), practiced during the Shang dynasty (1766–1066 BCE), and Xiang Bo (similar to Sanda) from the 7th century BCE,[8] are two examples of ancient Chinese martial arts. In 509 BCE, Confucius suggested to Duke Ding of Lu that people practice the martial arts as well as the literary arts[8]; thus, martial arts began to be practiced by laypeople outside the military and or religious sects. A combat wrestling system called juélì or jiǎolì (角力) is mentioned in the Classic of Rites (1st century BCE).[9] This combat system included techniques such as strikes, throws, joint manipulation, and pressure point attacks. Jiao Di became a sport during the Qin Dynasty (221–207 BCE). The Han History Bibliographies record that, by the Former Han (206 BCE – 8 CE), there was a distinction between no-holds-barred weaponless fighting, which it calls shǒubó (手搏), for which "how-to" manuals had already been written, and sportive wrestling, then known as juélì or jiǎolì (角力). Wrestling is also documented in the Shǐ Jì, Records of the Grand Historian, written by Sima Qian (ca. 100 BCE).[10]

A hand to hand combat theory, including the integration of notions of "hard" and "soft" techniques, is expounded in the story of the Maiden of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue (5th century BCE).[11]

In the Tang Dynasty, descriptions of sword dances were immortalized in poems by Li Bai. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, xiangpu (a predecessor of sumo) contests were sponsored by the imperial courts. The modern concepts of wushu were fully developed by the Ming and Qing dynasties.[12]

Philosophical influences
The ideas associated with Chinese martial arts changed with the evolution of Chinese society and over time acquired some philosophical bases: Passages in the Zhuangzi (庄子), a Daoist text, pertain to the psychology and practice of martial arts. Zhuangzi, its eponymous author, is believed to have lived in the 4th century BCE. The Tao Te Ching, often credited to Lao Zi, is another Daoist text that contains principles applicable to martial arts. According to one of the classic texts of Confucianism, Zhou Li (周禮/周礼), Archery and charioteering were part of the "six arts" (simplified Chinese: 六艺; traditional Chinese: 六藝; pinyin: liu yi, including rites, music, calligraphy and mathematics) of the Zhou Dynasty (1122–256 BCE). The Art of War (孫子兵法), written during the 6th century BCE by Sun Tzu (孫子), deals directly with military warfare but contains ideas that are used in the Chinese martial arts.

Daoist practitioners have been practicing Tao Yin, physical exercises similar to Qigong that was one of the progenitors to Tai Chi Chuan, from at least as early as 500 BCE.[13] In 39–92 CE, "Six Chapters of Hand Fighting", were included in the Han Shu (history of the Former Han Dynasty) written by Pan Ku. Also, the noted physician, Hua Tuo, composed the "Five Animals Play"—tiger, deer, monkey, bear, and bird, around 220 BCE.[14] Daoist philosophy and their approach to health and exercise have influenced the Chinese martial arts to a certain extent. Direct reference to Daoist concepts can be found in such styles as the "Eight Immortals" which uses fighting techniques that are attributed to the characteristics of each immortal.

The modern era
The fighting styles that are practiced today were developed over the centuries, after having incorporated forms that came into existence later. Some of these include Bagua, Drunken Boxing, Eagle Claw, Five Animals, Hsing I, Hung Gar, Lau Gar, Monkey, Bak Mei Pai, Praying Mantis, Fujian White Crane, Wing Chun and Tai Chi Chuan.

In 1900-01, the Righteous and Harmonious Fists rose against foreign occupiers and Christian missionaries in China. This uprising is known in the West as the Boxer Rebellion due to the martial arts and calisthenics practiced by the rebels. Though it originally opposed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi gained control of the rebellion and tried to use it against the foreign powers. The failure of the rebellion led ten years later to the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the creation of the Chinese Republic.

The present view of Chinese martial arts are strongly influenced by the events of the Republican Period (1912–1949). In the transition period between the fall of the Qing Dynasty as well as the turmoils of the Japanese invasion and the Chinese Civil War, Chinese martial arts became more accessible to the general public as many martial artists were encouraged to openly teach their art. At that time, some considered martial arts as a means to promote national pride and build a strong nation. As a result, many training manuals (拳谱) were published, a training academy was created, two national examinations were organized as well as demonstration teams travelled overseas,[21] and numerous martial arts associations were formed throughout China and in various overseas Chinese communities. The Central Guoshu Academy (Zhongyang Guoshuguan, 中央國術館/中央国术馆) established by the National Government in 1928[22] and the Jing Wu Athletic Association (精武體育會/精武体育会) founded by Huo Yuanjia in 1910 are examples of organizations that promoted a systematic approach for training in Chinese martial arts.[23][24][25] A series of provincial and national competitions were organized by the Republican government starting in 1932 to promote Chinese martial arts. In 1936, at the 11th Olympic Games in Berlin, a group of Chinese martial artists demonstrated their art to an international audience for the first time. Eventually, those events lead to the popular view of martial arts as a sport.

Chinese martial arts experienced rapid international dissemination with the end of the Chinese Civil War and the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949. Many well known martial artists chose to escape from the PRC's rule and migrate to Taiwan, Hong Kong,[26] and other parts of the world. Those masters started to teach within the overseas Chinese communities but eventually they expanded their teachings to include people from other ethnic groups.

Within China, the practice of traditional martial arts was discouraged during the turbulent years of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1969–1976).[27] Like many other aspects of traditional Chinese life, martial arts were subjected to a radical transformation by the People's Republic of China in order to align them with Maoist revolutionary doctrine.[27] The PRC promoted the committee-regulated sport of Wushu as a replacement to independent schools of martial arts. This new competition sport was disassociated from what was seen as the potentially subversive self-defense aspects and family lineages of Chinese martial arts.[27] Rhetorically, they also encouraged the use of the term Kuoshu (or Guoshu meaning "the arts of the nation"), rather than the colloquial term gongfu, in an effort to more closely associate Chinese martial arts with national pride rather than individual accomplishment.[27] In 1958, the government established the All-China Wushu Association as an umbrella organization to regulate martial arts training. The Chinese State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports took the lead in creating standardized forms for most of the major arts. During this period, a national Wushu system that included standard forms, teaching curriculum, and instructor grading was established. Wushu was introduced at both the high school and university level. The suppression of traditional teaching was relaxed during the Era of Reconstruction (1976–1989), as Communist ideology became more accommodating to alternative viewpoints.[28] In 1979, the State Commission for Physical Culture and Sports created a special task force to reevaluate the teaching and practice of Wushu. In 1986, the Chinese National Research Institute of Wushu was established as the central authority for the research and administration of Wushu activities in the People's Republic of China.[29] Changing government policies and attitudes towards sports in general lead to the closing of the State Sports Commission (the central sports authority) in 1998. This closure is viewed as an attempt to partially de-politicize organized sports and move Chinese sport policies towards a more market-driven approach.[30] As a result of these changing sociological factors within China, both traditional styles and modern Wushu approaches are being promoted by the Chinese government.[31] Chinese martial arts are now an integral element of Chinese culture

Wushu
Traditional Chinese 武術
Literal meaning martial art
[show]Transliterations
Mandarin
- Hanyu Pinyin wǔshù


Chinese martial arts, also referred to by the Mandarin Chinese term wushu (simplified Chinese: 武术; traditional Chinese: 武術; pinyin: wǔshù) and popularly as kung fu (Chinese: 功夫 pinyin: gōngfu), are a number of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" (家, jiā), "sects" (派, pài) or "schools" (門, mén) of martial arts. Examples of such traits include physical exercises involving animal mimicry, or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles which focus on qi manipulation are labeled as internal (内家拳, nèijiāquán), while others concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness and are labeled external (外家拳, wàijiāquán). Geographical association, as in northern (北拳, běiquán) and southern (南拳, nánquán), is another popular method of categorization.


Kung-fu and wushu are terms that have been borrowed into English to refer to Chinese martial arts. However, the Chinese terms kung fu (Chinese: 功夫; pinyin: gōngfū) and wushu (simplified Chinese: 武术; traditional Chinese: 武術; pinyin: wǔshù listen (Mandarin) (help·info); Cantonese: móuh-seuht) have very different meanings;[1] the Chinese literal equivalent of "Chinese martial art" would be zhongguo wushu (traditional Chinese: 中國武術; pinyin: zhōngguó wǔshù).

Wǔshù literally means "martial art". It is formed from the two words 武術: 武 (wǔ), meaning "martial" or "military" and 術 (shù), which translates into "discipline", "skill" or "method." The term wushu has also become the name for a modern sport involving the performance of Chinese bare-handed and weapons forms (tàolù 套路) adapted and judged to a set of contemporary aesthetic criteria for points.
