中国功夫有着数千年的历史，那么对于中国功夫你又了解多少呢？
Chinese kung fu，also known as wushu or Chinese martial arts，is one of the most wellknown examples of traditional Chinese culture.It is probably one of the earliest and longest lasting sports which uses both muscles and brain.
The theory of kung fu is based on classical Chinese philosophy.Over its long history it has developed as a unique combination of exercise，practical selfdefense，selfdiscipline，and art.
It is estimated that Chinese kung fu dates back to primitive society. 1 Gradually they accumulated experience in selfdefense.
2 It combines techniques of selfdefense and healthkeeping.
In Chinese kung fu，however，a difference is made between “external” and “internal” kung fu.It is said that “In external kung fu，you exercise your tendons，bones，
and skin; in internal kung fu，you train your spirit，your qi，and your mind.” And so internal kung fu can continue later in life， 3 .
