Welcome to baoku, the online learning library of the Confucius Institute at Mason. Baoku, in Chinese, means "treasure trove"—we hope that you find the site's useful information to be just that.
Chinese Kung-Fu and Calligraphy Demonstration
Kung-fu refers to Chinese marshal arts, which originated from people’s needs of self-defense, hunting, and military techniques in ancient China and developed into various branches over the Chinese history. Chinese calligraphy, or brush calligraphy, is an artistic way of writing Chinese characters with ink and a brush. Numerous styles and schools of calligraphy arose and were refined over thousands of years. This video cleverly presents Chinese physical arts and spiritual arts in a seamlessly combined demonstration.
