Recently, the famous director Mr. Zhang Huaxun felt that the "50th Anniversary Celebration of the Chinese Martial Arts Delegation to the United States" was launched in Beijing, and presented his own ink treasure to the organizing committee of the event, and wrote a poem to congratulate:
Climb to Kunlun and watch quietly, looking back on the wind and rain for 50 years.
Jiayin broke the waves across the continent, and Zhang Shan led the team to sail.
China's moral skills are like Kunpeng, flashing to the United States.
The invisible flyover martial soul casting, a new chapter in the spectrum of martial arts heroes.
The language of the poem is simple, the feelings are sincere, the meaning is far-reaching, and the true feelings reproduce the glorious course of "martial arts visiting the United States", and at the same time, 50 years later, the sentence "Invisible Flyover Martial Soul Casting" fully reflects the important role played by building a bridge of cultural exchanges between China and the United States with Chinese martial arts.
Zhang Huaxun believes that from the ice-breaking tour of "Ping Pong Diplomacy" in 1971 to the ice-melting tour of "Martial Arts Diplomacy" in 1974, it was cultural exchanges that broke the barriers of regions, and it was the trend of the times that brought the two countries together, giving a new voice of cultural integration.
"Because of our strong cultural foundation, we have attracted the attention of the whole world to our Chinese martial arts." Zhang Huaxun said: "Table tennis is a strong country and enjoys a good reputation all over the world, but as a cultural connotation, the long-standing martial arts are our local invention and creation of culture. Through martial arts, we let the people of United States and friends around the world see the depth and longevity of the Chinese national culture. Moreover, the inclusiveness of martial arts culture not only played a role in the ancient battlefield, but also still plays a huge role in sports and cultural value in terms of self-cultivation, physical fitness, and technical attack. Compared with the two sports, Chinese martial arts have more of the style and spirit of our Chinese nation. ”
Chinese traditional culture, which has lasted for more than 5,000 years, shines in the world with its richness, magnificence and unique characteristics. The Chinese martial arts, which are nurtured and developed in traditional Chinese culture, integrate philosophy, medicine, the art of war, health preservation, and art, reflecting the spiritual identity of traditional Chinese culture, and highlighting the common values of all mankind such as peace, development, fairness, and justice carried by Chinese martial arts. "After the successful visit of the Chinese martial arts delegation to the United States, many United States and foreign friends from various countries came to China to learn martial arts - some came to Beijing to learn kung fu from various schools and learned tai chi from Master Men Huifeng; There are also those who go to Shaolin Temple to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, go to Wudang Mountain to learn Wudang Kung Fu, and so on. Wushu visits to the United States, goes out, and exports Chinese culture, which has attracted martial arts enthusiasts from all over the world to enter the hundred gardens of Chinese martial arts. All this shows that we have a culture, a thought, and a spirit. Zhang Huaxun said.
Zhang Huaxun pointed to the huge character "Wu" in the middle of the calligraphy and said: "The word 'Wu' is a combination of 'stop' and 'Ge'. Through cultural exchanges, we have resolved many contradictions, and used martial arts as a bridge to convey the connotation of martial arts culture - Wu - 'stop fighting for martial arts', the word 'wu' is to put down the weapon, stop the war, and maintain peace. This point has important warning significance for the past, the present and the future, and for people and countries. ”
Whether it is the "soldier who surrenders without a fight" proposed in "The Art of War", or the ancient Chinese calligraphy method of "stopping the war for the sake of force", it all contains the idea of "harmony and harmony" in Chinese culture since ancient times. Zhang Huaxun stressed: "Stopping hostilities and turning them into force" means achieving the goal of pursuing peace through exchanges between the two sides. Its significance needs to be vigorously publicized in the context of today's world pattern. The world is not at peace, but we seek world peace. By what means? It is to communicate with each other, communicate with each other, and understand each other. The significance of holding this celebration is not only the celebration itself, but also the activities it extends to make people think deeply.

"After 50 years of wind and rain, the original intention is like a fire." Zhang Huaxun believes that by holding this event, more martial arts colleagues and people across industries can see that martial arts have attracted people's attention in the real society, because generation after generation of martial artists have inherited a culture and a spirit, and this spirit is unique to the Chinese nation. Just like what is shown in "Wulin Zhi", the film is used as a carrier to convey the value and essence of Chinese martial arts to the audience, arouse people's love and pride in the country and nation, and the cultural values and spiritual power it conveys will continue to influence and inspire more people.
Although "sideburns have not changed their minds", they are also "aging at a frightening rate". Zhang Huaxun said that the athletes who had visited abroad have now entered different stages of their lives, and the youngest athletes at that time, Jet Li, Lu Yan, and Cui Yahui, have also entered the age of ear shun. There are still a few athletes who have left, but the martial spirit is forever.

The way of civil and military affairs complements each other. To cultural people, to martial arts education, dual-track and the same direction, different paths and the same end. After thousands of years of cultivation and transformation, martial arts has gradually sublimated into a diversified cultural form integrating skill, fitness and artistry, and beyond the general sense of offensive and defensive techniques, and deepened into a kind of life, the way to enter the WTO and the way of doing things, the physical fitness, the country to help the people, the cultivation of the mind, and the integration of the family governance into an ideological system full of life wisdom.
"Through this activity, we will guide the current college students and teenagers to cultivate themselves with morality, strengthen their bodies with martial arts, and cultivate both inside and outside; Through strength, speed, endurance and skill to train the body, in the process of exercising the body, both personality and mental tempering. Wushu is more historical, philosophical, scientific, practical and artistic than any other sport, and best reflects China's profound cultural heritage and oriental wisdom. Zhang Huaxun said.
