The Comprehensive Development of Chinese Wushu
摘要
In the 1990s, Chinese Wushu entered a new stage of comprehensive development marked by systematization, industrialization, and internationalization. Domestically, standardized management was achieved through the establishment of the Chinese Wushu Administrative Center and the implementation of the Wushu Duanwei (Rank) System. The competition system saw significant innovation; Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) events enhanced their spectator appeal through rule reforms and commercial operation, initiating explorations into industrialization. Simultaneously, traditional Wushu actively served the goals of public fitness and local economies. Internationally, the Wushu internationalization process accelerated. International organizations formulated unified rules, and Wushu became a permanent event in the Asian Games. This period laid a solid foundation for the continued development of Wushu in the twenty-first century.
