Wushu

The disorder in the development of social wushu is a negative social and cultural phenomenon, which is jointly constructed by the background of China's social transformation and the deviant behavior of grassroots wushu individuals. It poses a threat to the orderly development of social wushu. This paper discussed the generative logic of the disorder of social wushu from the perspective of grassroots wushu individuals and the cultural space in which they live. The paper indicated that the individual maladjustment and deviant behavior of grassroots wushu individuals are the concrete manifestations of disorder. The lack of self-identity of folk wushu practitioners caused by the change of wushu evaluation standard resulted in the identity crisis. The self-labeling driven by the identity recognition is the behavioral manifestation of the individual maladjustment. The defects of the grassroots culture induced the deviant behaviors of individual wushu practitioners and presented a disordered tendency of irresponsibility, profit-seeking, materialization, and falsification. It is imperative to realize the orderly development of social wushu by promoting self-governance of grassroots wushu individuals, enhancing the governance ability of social authority and the binding force of social norms, as well as improving the coordinated mechanism for wushu.
