| 摘 要： | Japan＇s Judo and Karate and Korea＇s Taekwondo, which all originated from traditional Chinese Wushu （martial arts）, all have the Chinese character ＂Dao＂ （way or doctrine） in their names. However, Chinese Wushu itself just adopted the word ＂Shu＂ （art or skill）. In traditional Chinese philosophy, ＂Dao＂ and ＂Shu＂ are two opposite concepts, with the first referring to something metaphysical and the latter something physical. ＂Dao＂ usually means ＂law＂ and ＂truth＂, while ＂Shu＂ just means the application or reflection of ＂Dao＂. Then, why didn＇t Chinese Wushu call itself a kind of ＂Dao＂？
