Martial Arts
Chinese martial arts are always filled with myth and truth. Serving as a form of physical and mental exercise, martial arts have a strong presence in Chinese culture and society. Many forms of martial arts have been developed over hundreds of years under Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist principles and theories. Millions of people practice martial arts daily in public squares across China in groups or alone. However, you don’t really see martial arts practitioners flying in the air or walking on the surface of water. The martial arts masters in movies are created to carry fantasies and ideal human characters. After all, the Chinese culture also needs its own superheroes.
