Abstract: Taking anthropology as a perspective, this paper aims to explore regional Wushu culture studies including its research methods and perspectives, practical operation and application, cultural construction and its significance. The author proposes that the holistic view of anthropological ethnography can help redefine culture and this culture should be the logical starting point of regional Wushu culture studies; The “logic in fields” and the “fields in logic” illustrate that the learning of “local knowledge” and the interpretation of “the other” cultures are the practical basis of regional Wushu culture studies; Overcoming the regional and national boundaries to seek the universal principles of human culture and its meaning system is the ultimate goal of regional Wushu culture studies; Exploring the meaning of human practice through culture studies and highlighting cultural reconstruction are the orientation of regional Wushu culture studies. On this basis, this paper puts forward that regional Wushu studies in the future should pay more attention to the microcosmic field investigation and case analysis so as to promote the integration of Wuhsu skills and cultural studies on the academic level, and deepen the anthropological ethnographic insights into Wushu studies. These will provide theoretical enlightenments and practical guidance for conducting regional Wushu culture studies in a comprehensive way.
