Introduction
Chinese martial arts is an important component of Chinese culture. It has a long history and is one of the valuable cultural heritages of the Chinese nation. It is the crystallization of national wisdom.

Chinese martial arts, also referred to by the Mandarin Chinese term wushu (simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: wushù) and popularly as kung fu or gung fu (Chinese: ??; pinyin: gongfu), are a number of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" (?, jia), "sects" (?, pài) or "schools" (?, mén) of martial arts. Examples of such traits include physical exercises involving animal mimicry, or training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions and legends. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal (???, nèijiaquán), while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called external (???, wàijiaquán). Geographical association, as in northern (??, beiquán) and southern (??, nánquán), is another popular classification method.

It is currently the first one to show the all-round display of martial arts history and culture museum in the world.
