中國功夫（英）

　　“中華之美”叢書圍繞中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化這一主題，擇取其中15個(gè)專題分別加以介紹。這15個(gè)專題，包括以思想、智慧、藝術(shù)為主的“無形遺產(chǎn)”，以工藝、器物為主的“有形遺產(chǎn)”，以衣食住行樂為主的“民俗生活”，它們精心構(gòu)架，有機(jī)結(jié)合，勾勒出中國文化的一個(gè)總體面貌，并反映出“中華文化的理念、智慧、氣度、神韻”。 中國功夫是一種特殊的文化形態(tài)，它以攻防搏擊為表現(xiàn)形式，以豐富的套路、招式、功法為具體內(nèi)容，在激烈的身體對抗（多數(shù)表現(xiàn)為假想對抗和模擬對抗）中敢于勝利并善于勝利。中國功夫是千百年來民族智慧的結(jié)晶，是民族傳統(tǒng)文化在武技一道的體現(xiàn)，也是民族心理個(gè)性在健身自衛(wèi)領(lǐng)域的合理反映。中國功夫不僅僅是搏擊術(shù)，更不是單純的拳腳運(yùn)動，也不是力氣與技法的簡單結(jié)合，它飽含著哲理，深蘊(yùn)著先哲們對生命和宇宙的參悟，以一種近乎完美的運(yùn)動形式詮釋著某種古老的哲學(xué)思想，追求那種完美而和諧的人生境界。 Wushu， the Chinese martial art form known as kungfu in the West， embodies the national traditional culture in martial art form and also reflects the self-defense and health practices of Chinese people. The core philosophy of Wushu is drawn from the Confucius principle of physical and mental integration combined with neutralization; the Taoist principle of dynamic balance; the Buddhist principle of showing cultural syncretism of Confucianism， Daoism and Buddhism in China; and the Eastern theory， which believes man is an integral part of nature.
