Barehanded Fighting
手搏
Barehanded fighting in the broad sense means to fight with hands and no apparatus. In this way, it originated with the appearance of human being because the barehanded fighting between human and animals happened frequently in the remote antiquity. In the narrow sense, it means to fight with bare hands with skills and rules. From this point of view, barehanded fighting is somewhat like Chinese boxing.
从某种意义上说，只要不用器械而展开的徒手相搏就是手搏。鉴此，有了人类就有了手搏，因为在远古人类的生活中，人与野兽或人与人之间经常会有徒手相搏。狭义的手搏指运用一定的技巧和方法徒手相搏，从这个意义上说，手搏应是与武术中的类似拳术的活动。
It had developed into a special skill in the Period of Spring and Autumn and had its great development in the Han dynasty, including the three aspects. 1) Different skills and methods were invented such as Juji (means to hold a person fast first and then knock it down), hitting on the back, sidewinder, fast hitting, xiangpi and curling like a wheel; 2) the different nicknames for barehanded fighting which distinguished itself clearly from Juedi; 3) it was applied as a means to check the soldiers in the army.
春秋战国时期，手搏已成为一种专门的技能。汉代有了较大的发展，这主要表现在三个方面，一是发明了很多手搏的技巧和方法，出现了拘击、击背、旁击、疾击、相僻、卧轮等手法和名称。二是出现了手搏的别名，并把它与角抵明确区分开来。三是军队中已把手搏作为考核军人的一种手段。
Afterward, the title of barehanded fighting was gradually neglected with the thriving and development of serial Chinese boxing stunts.
在以后的历史中，随着武术中的各种拳术套路的兴盛和发展，手搏之名逐渐不为人们所提及。
