Martial arts has always been an important element of mainland China ’s foreign cultural propaganda, but in recent years, many chaos of“ folk martial arts masters ”have been derived.According to Taiwan scholars, this reflects that although martial arts symbolize national emotions, they no longer have the inherent logic contradictions with substantial resistance to fight, making the official face complicated considerations in governance.
From Bruce Lee to the movie to crouch, martial arts have always been regarded as an important cultural symbol that represents China.Many foreigners are also attracted by martial arts and go to Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain to "learn the scriptures"; China has always been actively striving to make martial arts a Olympic project.
Cai Wenxuan, a researcher at the Institute of Political Science, Taiwan Central Academy of Sciences, and Lin Zhengwei, a full -time lecturer of the Department of International and Mainland Affairs of the University of Kinmen University, sorted out historical materials in recent years, and visited a number of people and relevant officials in mainland Chinese martial arts.What role is martial arts play in different periods of national governance in China.
Cai Wenxuan's speech on Wednesday (November 15) pointed out at the East Asia Research Institute of the University of Politics that since the beginning of the Republic of China, martial arts have been used as an important element of warlords as an important element of nationwide and cultivating patriotism.The function is significant.

Cai Wenxuan pointed out that the mainland began to try to remove the mysterious colors of traditional martial arts and establish a management system; while maintaining traditional martial arts culture and performance in the perspective of rationality;Modern martial arts "Sanda" who developed fighting skills.
In this context, the mainland has regarded martial arts as a soft power for cultural output since the 1990s, and actively strives to become the official Olympic project.
But Cai Wenxuan also mentioned that because the official has vigorously advocated cultural self -confidence in martial arts in recent years, it is inevitable that the folk martial arts master such as "Hun Yuan Xingyi Tai Chi Gate" is chaotic.At the same time, it is still necessary to take into account the effects of foreign culture.
He believes that because martial arts are closely related to China ’s century -old national shame, social governance, social transformation, and globalization, and going global strategy, it makes mainland martial arts control so complicated and shows different appearances in different periods.
