It is a routine of martial art skills  involving stringent arm, leg and body movements.<\/p>\n<p>It is said that Drunken Boxing was derived from the fighting skills  used by Wu Song, one of the characters in the novel Outlaws of the  Marsh, when he beat a hooligan surnamed Jiang after getting drunk, as  well as the attacking skills used by Lu Zhishen, also a character in the  novel, when he caused an uproar in the mountain as he was drunk. The  movements of Drunken Boxing are guided by the principle of &quot;drunken in  appearance but not in spirit&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The major postures include beating, pushing, throwing, rolling,  leaping and jumping. While retaining the beauty of body art, all the  postures are practical fighting skills.<\/p>\n<p>The boxing has a fairly high requirement on the practitio<em><\/em>ner in terms  of the person&rsquo;s flexibility in the waist, legs and joints as well as  the functions of internal organs, willpower and moral integrity etc. In  addition, the performance of the boxing is supposed to give a straight,  light and graceful feel.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-224704891\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drunken Boxing is a style of boxing that imitates a  drunkard in its movements, involving both offensive and defensive  skills.
