With the implementation of the reform and opening-up, the emancipation of minds is unprecedented. When we introduce the advanced experiences on economy, science and education, etc. from the west, our cultural nationalism begins to revive. In the late of 20th century, the controversy on the western and eastern cultures affects the Chinese Wushu profoundly. Different scholars hold different opinions, and they give the annotations and solutions on the development of Chinese Wushu from various perspectives in their own fields. However, the rising tends of nationalism does not obstruct the dissemination of the western culture to the east, but rather accelerate it. In fact, there exist various acts of semiotic violence in the activities of cultural exchanges among the different nations. This kind of act is generally carried out by the way of acquiescence. When people enter into the other cultures with tolerate attitude, some sub-culture probably penetrates the local cultural system with the limitless enlargement of culture, which will manifest the cultural attitude of“right”or“wrong”in certain period or even longer. Reviewing the development of the Chinese Wushu, the road is rough in the long period of controversy of“enemy or friend”. It demonstrates that tolerance and coexistence, exchange and dialogue between the western and eastern physical cultures are the wise choice for the development of Chinese Wushu.“Cultures in different times and different places bear a variety of embodiments.”Because natural environment and human society play important roles in emergence and evolvement of the culture, so this dissertation investigates systematically the“cultural space”in Wushu adopting literature data, field investigation, interview method and logic analysis which is based on the theory of intangible cultural heritage and stratification of social culture.1.“Cultural space”in Wushu refers to the place where it shows the cultural activities or cultural elements of Wushu, and a period when it plans the schedule about Wushu culture.“Cultural space”of Wushu can be stratified into different levels according to the geography and history. Some kind of“cultural space”has the nature of compatibility and overlap.2. The“cultural space”of Wushu shows such characteristics as regionalism, activity, heredity, integrity, and field performance. The main cause of formation Wushu schools lies in the regional culture characteristics and culture itself; The nature of activity refers to that Wushu depends on“active”inheritance subject to protect, continue and build; Heredity is diachronic performance in anthropology, which is the organic integration and accumulation, and the identity and extension of the ancient Wushu culture; The nature of integrity is manifested in the composition of human beings, utensils, skills, ideas, activities and environment, i.e., the organic union of nonmaterial and material; Field performance means the“cultural field”where the subsistence of Wushu, is produced, processed and praised. 3. New policy of Qing Dynasty in the last century is the original controversy of eastern and western cultures, which provides the ideological preparation for the transformation of Chinese Wushu, and also induces the traditional review on the idea of“emphasizing the humanity more than the military”, and advocating“the Wushu spirit”. Influenced by the controversy between the eastern and western cultures, Chinese Wushu culture actively has gone through the modern extension and inclines to the maturity of Wushu.4. The“culture space”of folk Wushu exists the following problems, the vagueness of the function to protect the subject; the“blind zone”existing in the inheritance and protection; the empty of traditional culture; the fault of“cultural space”between the mainstream and the non-mainstream; the distortion of the“restoration”of information and off-odor of“transplantation”in Wushu field. Therefore, it should develop the native cultural safety consciousness among the citizens; establishing“security system of public service in Wushu”; strengthening“heritage protection”; Combining the resurrection of“cultural space”with the reproductive building; Combining school inheritance with the dissemination; paying much attention to the financial value of traditional resources; exerting the double driving forces of the coordinate management of government and social organization; establishing the selection mechanism of“Wushu village”, and strengthening the sense of village culture, etc.5. The Beijing Olympic Games has blown "rally marl" for the Wushu toward Olympic goals, which made technical produces the new and reorganization fast; the mass audiences tend to be small; the traditional technology uncollected; Cultural connotation strikes. Therefore, we could do the step as returning to traditional culture; Pushing the field“urbanization”and“rural change”; combining Encourage technology to grassroots“paint”; Increasing Wushu arena“cultural soft power”; carrying on the showing“national Wushu congress”, etc.6. Wushu education environment exist many problems: the contradiction between the subject potential energy and the subject resource waste; there is the“west strong east weak”phenomenon in teaching; Language advantage is a little; Schools lack of“Wushu”person; Heredity on“cultural space”has lost. Therefore, we should break the traditional concept of“single subject development to professional”; across the idea of that the identity for the Wushu talent is different from the Folk and schools; Adhere to combine the classroom inside cultivation mechanism and the outside; recommendations the Wushu education for the inside Institutions of education and outside ones; furthering the school DuanWeiZhi work of the Wushu.7. Deductive Wushu“culture space”is one of the spaces hosting Wushu culture. However, the deduction Wushu and cultural products incline to pursue excessively economic benefits, which lead to the decadent of culture, the scarcity of the narration of Wushu and the macroscopic cultural development strategies. Therefore, we should protect Wushu expression on deduction Wushu from the misleading of high-end technology; Reductive the natural of the Wushu techniques; Pay attention to Wushu narrative type plot; completely eradicate the elimination on the deductive Wushu culture.8. Facing the virtualization network“cultural space”of the Wushu, we must strengthen the legal system management, and strengthen the moral supervision by the public, standardize the network market; Establish“filter technology”, prevent raunchy culture into the network; pay attention to the role of the language in network in the process of internationalization.
