Abstract: From the perspective of cultural studies and on the classification of material culture, institutional culture and spiritual culture, the present paper analyses the levels of Wushu culture inheritance and points out that Wushu culture inheritance consists of three progressive levels, namely, "retention of the original form", "continuation of the cultural essence" , and "extension of the cultural links". In terms of Wushu cultural inheritance space limits, the plights facing modern Wushu cultural inheritance mainly include: overprotection of "static" culture versus inadequate efforts in carrying on "living" core culture; well-developed intangible cultural heritage protection system versus challenge facing nongovernmental inheritance environment; emergence of academic stereotype versus lack of creative ideas. A breakthrough of the third level of Wushu cultural inheritance space requires us to carry forward Wushu cultural essence and develop its inheritance mechanism in a creative way.

Key words: Wushu Culture, Wushu Heritage, Inheritance Level, Inheritance Dilemma, Inheritance and Development
