武术文化与唐代豪侠精神

唐人尚武,在唐代武术文化中,往往还推重比武过程中的灵感智慧,以一种乐观豪迈的精神,描绘比武过程及其所引起观众的热烈反响。武术中某一技艺以技服人,还往往有为国争光震慑外夷的更大用场。这种主要以武术比试较量所形成的豪侠观念,还泛化到其他文化分支。成因有:人类争强好胜的本能与宽松文化环境的充分适合;中外往来活动的催发;帝王将相的喜好与江湖技艺游乐精神的共生互动。

"Wu Shu" culture and gallant's spirit in Tang dynasty

People in Tang dynasty admired Wu Shu. In Wu Shu culture of Tang times, people often put stress on wisdom in Wu Shu games. They depicted the process of the competition of Wu Shu and the resulting hot response of the audience with an optimistic and heroic spirit. Some skills in Wu Shu could convince the foreigners and frightened some foreign invaders as well as strove for the glory of the country. The gallant's concept which was mainly formed in the competition of Wu Shu also spread to other cultural fields. The reasons of its formation are as follows: the human instinct of scrambling for power and victory adapted to the harmonious cultural environment; the foreign and domestic contact activities speeded mutually; and the emperors' and generals' fondness coexisted and interacted with the itinerant entertainers' wandering spirit.
