Abstract: The paper reviews the sports exchanges between China and the West and researches the transforming process of centennial Wushu into sports, with the result indicating that western sports guides the development of modern Chinese Wushu; Chinese Wushu carries the cultural responsibility of national rejuvenation, and it chooses the development model of Western sports, which led to the " cultural truth" of the sport transformation of the centennial Chinese Wushu.. However, the development of Wushu belonging to the sports discipline has caused the "alienation" of Chinese Wushu culture, leading to the loss of Wushu's cultural character and the misunderstanding of Wushu culture. Therefore, the development of Chinese Wushu has to possess its uniqueness so as to promote the universal development of Wushu culture under the condition of maintaining its national cultural uniqueness.
