Inheritance and Development of Tujia Martial Art Culture Under Social Changes

Taking the social changes as the research background, this paper uses the literature method, field visits and other scientific research methods to study the inheritance and development of the Tujia martial arts culture under the social changes. After researches, it finds that under the social changes, there are “three crises” in the ecology of Tujia martial arts culture, that is, the continuous lack of survival soil, the fragility of intergenerational inheritance and the strong impact of modern sports. In the future, in inheriting and developing the Tujia martial arts culture, it should proceed from “two spaces”, namely cultural space and living space. The systematic study of the Tujia martial arts culture plays an enlightening role in inheriting and promoting the excellent Chinese traditional martial arts culture as well as promoting the development of regional martial arts culture.
