"Wu" is composed of the characters "stop" and "spear", which shows that true "Wu" is not just violence and bloodshed, but also to stop the spear and stop the war, bringing peace to human society. This is the core of Chinese martial arts. As one of the Chinese cultures, Chinese martial arts has a long history, but due to the lack of written records, many martial arts stories are passed down by word of mouth, and it is often difficult to distinguish between true and false. What can be certain is that since the Ming and Qing dynasties, many schools have spread southward, first in Guangdong and then in Hong Kong. After the war, Hong Kong's martial arts halls were everywhere, and the small place became a martial arts center for a while. However, martial arts masters are also mortals, and they also need to face livelihood and different real problems. After the war, does Hong Kong's martial arts hall need to accept challenges from various schools and factions? Is the martial arts hall, as ordinary citizens know, a hotbed of evil? Is the arena the hero land of martial arts people? This book will try to break it down. The author particularly emphasizes the interaction between martial arts and the development of Hong Kong society: on the one hand, it is the impact of the changing society on martial arts; on the other hand, martial arts also affects Hong Kong's social life, gradually integrating into the lives of ordinary citizens, and developing into a sport that is suitable for all ages and beneficial to physical and mental health today.
