Abstract: By means of literature review, field investigation and in-depth interview, the social characteristics of the Wushu master-apprentice system are analyzed and its inheritance of excellent cultural traditions are revealed.The research explores the mechanisms that promote the development of contemporary martial arts. The following conclusions are drawn: First, the master-apprentice system is a cultural system that maintains the social reproduction of Wushu.The Wushu apprenticeship system is not only a "technical teaching" model, but also an "identity transfer" system, which has social reproduction significance.The study of Wushu master-apprentice system requires researchers to pay attention not only to the knowledge transfer method of "oral teaching", but also to the inheritance and continuation system of the "generational inheritance" social community.Second, cultural identity and inheritance responsibility are the core of the inheritance of Wushu master-apprentice system.The pedigree of Wushu master-apprentice system forms a "multilateral interaction" relationship between master and apprentice, which gives the mission of "power and responsibility" to different generations and roles.The generational responsibility connection between master-teaching and apprentice-learning forms the motive force for the inheritance of martial arts from generation to generation.Third, the master-apprentice system is the inheritance rule of civilian Wushu.On the one hand, the intergenerational relay of the cultural identity of the master and apprentice maintains the social reproduction of Wushu, and the inheritance responsibility guarantees the power of Wushu inheritance.The master-apprentice system maintains the survival of the cultural community and provides a social ecological soil for the survival of Wushu skills.The inheritance pedigree established by the master, apprentices and re-passed disciples maintains the living inheritance of Wushu. On the other hand, the continuation of the pedigree of the master and apprentice is a historical clue to the development of Wushu skills, and the skills preserve their individuality and continue to develop in the trajectory of the master-apprentice system, and maintain vitality.Fourth, the idea of inheritance of martial arts culture is a precious cultural heritage that needs to be protected.Protecting the inheritance of Wushu must not only protect the inheritors and learners, but also respect the inheritance system and inheritance responsibility.Finally, the new concept of the relationship, the new sense of the role, and the new responsibility are the constituent elements of perfecting the inheritance of master-apprentice system.
