功夫不是单纯的拳脚运动,它是民族智慧的结晶,也是民族传统文化的体现。

但功夫的历史源远流长,非三言两语可以说清楚。
In the center of the vast Chinese nation lies the Mountain of Songshan, one of the country’s holiestspots and home to the Shaolin 1)Monastery, the birthplace of kung fu.The Buddhist monks of Shaolin were 2)pacifists, who mastered a deadly art using kicks, weapons and well-placed 3)punches. They were able to kill a man with the palm of a hand. These deadly skills are 4)in line with their faith and 5)spirituality, because Buddhists believe that, in order to follow the path of 6)compassion, they must 7)root out the heart of evil.In AD 527 the religious teacher, Da Mo, traveled from India to Shaolin to spread the word of Buddha. He spent nine years living alone and 8)meditating in a cave above the Shaolin temple. To keep his muscles healthy, he developed a series of movements and breathing exercises based on the movements ofanimals. These were to become the basis of kung fu.When Da Mo returned to the Shaolin temple, he began to teach the monks these techniques, and his tool of meditation evolved into a tool of 9)combat. Kung fu was born.As Shaolin’s 10)reputation grew, more and more young 11)novices traveled from all over China and attempted to join the 12)order. They had their heads shaved as an external sign of inward purity, and they swore an 13)oath of 14)obedience to their masters. Their training was 15)relentless. Their fists wouldbecome as hard as iron and their bodies almost .16)impervious to pain. Training would leave its mark not just on the students but also on the temple itself, as over the centuries their pounding feet crushed the stones beneath them.Kung fu, which in Chinese means “learned skill”or “great achievement,”has now given rise to more than 1,000 styles of martial arts. The Shaolin style is still probably the most famous of all.Today, the temple welcomes millions of tourists a year and sells them a 17)commercialized version of its history. But in the less visited temples of theSongshan hills, the original spirit of Shaolin lives on. 中国功夫英语介绍1.僧院2.和平主义者3.用拳猛击4.符合。
