The Forms and Spirits of Martial Arts in "Kung Fu Panda"

Chinese Kung Fu embodies a profound philosophy and a sense of human life and social values (some people therefore call it "philosophic boxing"). Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, or other Chinese Kung Fu stars they all show our Chinese traditional martial ethics in their movies. The hero Po has also showed his martial ethics in the film "Kung Fu Panda". There is an old saying: "Using ethics not fist to make others respect you." This old saying is the spirit of Chinese Kung Fu art. The purpose of it is not pick on little person but strengthen physical health and prolong one's life.

This film shows the Chinese Kung Fu ethics and spirits. Firstly, it shows the Respect for Human Life. The shot that Panda Po and the five masters, they study Kung Fu not for the purpose to pick on little person, but to protect other people.

Secondly, it expresses the Emphasis on Moral Principles. The hero Po, five masters, Shifu and Wugui master, they are all tracing self cultivation and obey the moral principles of the society. Although Tal Lang is stronger than other masters and have the better Kung Fu skills, his lack of moral cultivation make him can't be respected by others and can't be accepted as the dragon warrior.

Thirdly, it represents the Respect for the Teacher and Care for Each Other. The shot that Shifu didn't like Panda Po at first, in Shifu' mind, Po is just a big fat panda, and he couldn't become the dragon warrior to defeat Tai Lang, so Shifu made a lot of obstacles and let Panda Po quit. Although he disliked by Shi fu, Panda Po gave his respect to Shi fu from the first moment to the last, and Panda Po used his persistence and perseverance to let Shi fu admit that he is the best choice of the dragon warrior. And in the end, for Panda Po's great effort and his care for all the citizens in Peace Valley make him a real hero.

Fourthly, it acts in Modesty and Eagerness. Although having become the dragon warrior, Panda Po never failed to pay his respect to Wu Gui master, Shi fu and the five masters. The true hero should possess the quality that he should be modesty. For Panda Po love Kung Fu so much and pay all his passion in it, this help him to become a master in the end. The last but not least, it shows up in persistence and perseverance.
