幅员辽阔的中华大地，孕育了世界上唯一没有被中止的文化传统，而这种历史悠久，连绵不断的文化形式，保存了太多的文化遗留，主流文化很早便完成了从蒙昧向文明的转变，而未被理性教化的民间社会却从未脱离原始思维，充斥于民间的神话、巫术、神坛祭祀等“迷信”活动，无不显露出这些原始信仰在民间社会的重要地位。武术根植于民间，在充满遗留文化的神秘环境中完成了自身的演进，从神话传说与神灵崇拜、巫术仪式、巫术修炼的角度解析武术，以一种文化遗存的态度来对待武术，将会扩展了解武术的视野。%The vast land of China had given birth to the only cultural tradition in the world which has never been interrupted, and such a form of culture with a long history and ceaseless development contains numerous cultural legacies; mainstream culture had completed the transformation from an uncivilized state to a civilized state a long time ago, yet the civil society that has not been enlightened by ration has never broken away from primitive think-ing; such activities of “superstition” as myths, witchcraft and altar sacrifice all over the folk world have unexcep-tionally revealed the important status of these primitive beliefs in the civil society.
