The Charm of Chinese Traditional Sports
Wushu is the embodiment of traditional Chinese culture, with a long history and deep cultural heritage. It is also an important sport, which not only strengthens the body and improves physical fitness, but also cultivates one's will and perseverance.
Teachers and students of Chinese and foreign partner universities make friends through Wushu, learn from each other and experience the diversity of Wushu culture in sports exchange activities. Wushu enables them to have a better understanding of Chinese philosophical thinking, to realize the Chinese wisdom of subduing strength with softness，internal and external cultivation. It also promotes the fusion and recognition of Chinese and foreign sports culture.
