山左聊城人氏傅斯年在《历史语言研究所工作之旨趣》中曾指出:“凡一种学问能扩张他研究的材料便进步,不能的便退步”。傅先生这句话虽就历史学研究而说,但对武术学研究依样管用。在我看来,武术研究材料共包括文字材料、考古材料、口述材料、民俗武风和武术技艺五种。它们之间各有特点,难以互相代替,但可相互补充。 Shan people left Liaocheng Fu Si years in the “history of Language Institute of the work of interest” has pointed out: “Any kind of knowledge can expand his research materials will be improved, they can not step backwards.” Although this sentence on the history of Fu said that, but according to the same martial arts research. In my opinion, the martial arts research materials include a total of five kinds of text materials, archeological materials, oral materials, folk customs and martial arts skills. They have their own characteristics, it is difficult to replace each other, but can complement each other.
