Description

2005. — 13 p., English.Most Asian martial arts were developed in China, Korea, Okinawa and Japan. An important link between them is the use of Chinese characters in their written language. The original thoughts pertaining to martial arts were written in Chinese, and many concepts can only be analyzed through a study of the characters. Many martial arts share this linguistic lineage with each other, though it is often obscured by politic. Examining the words in Chinese unlocks their common origins, and reveals the commonality and distinctiveness of their heritage. Martial artists, particularly instructors, need to gain an understanding of the history of the arts for their own enrichment. The practitioner needs both physical and mental information to evolve their skills to higher levels. Статья иллюстрирует тесную связь между китайскими иероглифами и боевыми искусствами.
