Traditional Martial Morality
传统武德
Traditional Wushu morality includes patriotism, uprightness, politeness and faith. In old times,the Wushu community followed strict regulations and commandments. For example, each school had strict requirements about leaching disciples. The regulations of Shaolin Temple included:“Disciples should be selected with great care,and Wushu shall only be taught to those have proved to be honest and upright. ’’The Wudang School also had five rules on admitting disciples;a low-quality, insidious, or bellicose person or one who indulged in excessive drinking would be turned down. Wudang rules also forbade adultery,theft, viciousness,obscenity, and gambling.
传统的武术道德包括爱国,正直,礼貌和信仰。在旧时代,武术社区遵循严格的规定和戒律。例如,每个学校对其弟子有严格的要求。少林寺的法规包括:“弟子应该非常小心选择,武术只应教给那些已被证明是清正廉洁的人。”武当学校还对其弟子有五条规则;低质量的,阴险的,或好战的人或过度沉迷于酒的人会被拒绝。武当规则也禁止通奸,偷盗,邪恶,淫秽,赌博。
Because Wushu's very nature is founded on attack and defense, the slightest neglect of moral discipline can result in injury or even death. In ancient times,the Wushu community forbade attacking a total of eight vital parts of the human body. Today,the modern Wushu community conducts competitions according to the requirements of modern sport,and therefore has drawn up competition rules and moral requirements according to current standards,so as to re-emphasize Wushu morality.
因为武术的本质是建立在攻击和防御上,道德纪律丝毫的怠慢可能导致人身伤害,甚至死亡。在古代,武术社区禁止攻击人体八个要害部位。如今,现代武术社区根据现代体育的要求进行比赛,因此制定了比赛规则,并根据现行标准的道德要求,从而再次强调武德。
