天津是一个因运河而兴的城市,运河的兴衰是天津城市变迁的一个风向标。京杭大运河虽修建于隋代,但真正的发挥作用则是在元代将大运河东移之后。而此时,正是中国武术发展的“轴心期”。沟通南北的京杭大运河在为天津带来诸多移民的同时,也将各地的优秀武术拳种带入天津。就这样,天津的武术文化逐渐形成并发展起来,并最终形成了自己的特色。 Tianjin is a city prosper because of the canal, the rise and fall of the canal is a vane of the city of Tianjin. Although the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was built in the Sui Dynasty, but the real role is in the Yuan Dynasty to the Grand Canal eastward. And this time, it is the development of Chinese Wushu “axis”.

In this way, Tianjin’s martial arts culture gradually formed and developed, and eventually formed its own characteristics.
