The
origin of Kung Fu has a legendary back-story to it. It is a legendary story and
is apocryphal with no evidential proof as to its accuracy. Its date can be
fairly traced back to 4000 years though again one cannot vouch for the
preciseness. The legend goes that the art of Kung Fu originated during the rule
of the Yellow Emperor. He was a far-sighted man with major leadership
qualities. He was also a highly erudite person and had read a lot about Chinese
art, warfare, astrology and science. His knowledge and experience led to the
birth of a martial art called Jiao Di. This art is the root of Kung Fu and if
the story is to be believed than this is also the true origin of the martial
art. Over the years, these martial arts have developed and prospered. A Warrior
Show at the Red Theater in Beijing can give you a vignette of the beauty and
philosophy of this art in a brilliant and engaging way.
It
may seem astounding to find that Kung Fu originated such a long time back. But
now after so many centuries, it has evolved into something more. It is not just
practiced for self-defense but is also exhibited in recreation shows and
entertaining films. In this context, it would be vital to say that Kung Fu
strategies found a powerful role in Chinese warfare. It was deployed in several
strategies in the war fronts and is now practiced by thousands both within and
outside China.
For
this reason, a Warrior Show at the Red Theater in Beijing becomes a must-watch for any
tourist on a city trip.
