Historical Development of Wushu
The history of Chinese martial arts can be divided into four major evolutionary phases:
Birth of Chinese martial arts and formation of ancient systems (early antiquity – 221 BC)
Enrichment and development of ancient Wushu (221 BC – 960 AD)
Maturation of ancient Wushu and its evolution into popular Wushu (960 AD – 1644 AD)
Traditional Wushu, creation and development of competitive Wushu (1644 AD – to date)
