At the end, the authors put forward a way to the sustainable development of Chinese Wushu–“system mode” of inheritance and develop-ment by basing their theoretical foundation on philosophical principles of Marxism as well as viewpoints in sys-tematology, and at the same time probed into “system mode” operating procedures, so as to provide new ideas for the inheritance and development of Wushu.
