When will wushu be accepted as an official&nb
[align=justify][size=4]武术，凝聚了中国文化艺术的精髓，深藏着中国传统哲学和道德观念。武术成为奥运会的正式比赛项目是每一个中国人期待多年的梦想。虽然申请道路困难重重，在北京承办08年奥运会之际，武术被列入北京奥组委的一项组织比赛，期待武术转正的梦想，也许指日可待。[color=#6600cc]Most visitors to China are deeply impressed by the [color=#ff9900]tremendous[/color] popularity of wushu in this country. Going out early in the morning, they can see people doing this traditional form of exercise [color=#ff9900]barehanded[/color] or with weapons in parks and on roadside open grounds. Marked by [color=#ff9900]callisthenic(柔软体操的)[/color] beauty and rhythm and suggestive of real fighting, their movements follow set patterns that are designed more for health-building than for self defence.
Wushu, which [color=#ff9900]literally[/color] means "martial arts(武术)[/color][/size][size=4][color=#6600cc]" and is sometimes called "kungfu" abroad, may be traced back to(追溯到) pre-historical times when our [color=#ff9900]ancestor[/color]s had to fight against wild animals and among themselves for [color=#ff9900]existence(存在)[/color] and [color=#ff9900]subsistence(生存)[/color]. Wushu is a very important aspect that represents the spirit of Chinese culture and art. According to the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, wushu exercises consist of(由…组成) both "external" and "internal" work, the former meaning movements of the body, the hands and the feet and expressions of the eyes, and the latter being related to "the spirit, willpower(毅志力), vital energy and strength." The two aspects are combined as movements are guided by consciousness so as to achieve "a unity of body and mind."
Wushu is very rich in form and content, [color=#ff9900]encompassing[/color] [color=#6600cc]hundreds[/color] of styles and thousands of routines, each with its own[color=#ff9900] distinctive[/color] features. Changquang (Long-Range Shadow Boxin(拳击练习)) is characterized by speed and[color=#ff9900] vigour[/color], while taijiquan is noted for its slow and gentle movements. One[color=#ff9900] category[/color] of wushu forms is called xiangxingquan, which [color=#ff9900]portray[/color]s the movements and [color=#ff9900]posture[/color]s of various animals, as [color=#ff9900]exemplified[/color] by houquan (Monkey's Shadow boxing) and tanglangquan ([color=#ff9900]Mantis(螳螂)[/color]' Shadow Boxing). Then there is the humorous zuiquan that describes a drunkard who is "drunk in appearance but not in mind" and is [color=#ff9900]sober[/color] enough to [color=#ff9900]outwit [/color]his opponent.
However, as wushu is becoming worldwide popular, It's a common wish of all Chinese people to watch kung fu competitions at the Beijing Olympic Games. In 2008 Olympic games, wushu is not an official event nor performing event, but wushu is allowed to hold a international competition under Olympic Organizing Committee's permission.
