Features: This book categorizes all human behaviors into two types based on their direction or nature: the construction of the empirical mind and the manifestation of the transcendental mind. It elaborates on the significance of both types and their relationship, then uses this framework to explore the intrinsic connections between Chinese martial arts and the mainstream forms of traditional culture, such as the School of War, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, at the levels of constructing the empirical mind and manifesting the transcendental mind. Additionally, it provides a relatively in-depth theoretical analysis of the rational reconstruction of Chinese martial arts under the influence of traditional culture. The book is well-organized, deeply thoughtful, and analytically thorough, making it a scholarly work of high theoretical value and practical significance.
