Abstract: Under the background of adhering to the confidence in path, system and theory, China’s national cultural construction must strengthen the identity of Chinese culture and the cultivation of socialist core values. The paper researches the cultural identity in the Wushu development with the result indicating that it is the one-dimensional measurement of the values of Chinese traditional Wushu on the stance of western culture that has resulted in the indentify crisis of traditional Wushu. It does not accord with the need of national culture development strategy to strengthen the protection of the diversity of traditional Wushu culture without discrimination. The development of Chinese Wushu must be based on the national cultural construction and extract the core value of the Chinese Wushu recognized by the Chinese culture. At the same time, we should desalinate Wushu school identity by correctly guiding Wushu school identity. It is of great significance to bring Chinese Wushu into the track of the national cultural development strategy so that Chinese Wushu culture can play its role to promote the national cultural construction. As such, the Chinese Wushu culture can really move into its modernization and receive its deserved position in the national cultural development.

Key words: Chinese Wushu, cultural identity, cultural construction, Wushu schools
