Wudang Taoist Kung Fu Academy has designed an original martial arts performance for the Expo. The 30-minute kung fu show "Wudang: Taiji and Dao" will be staged from July to September at the Group Level Squares of the Expo site. Three shows are scheduled daily.
The Taoists will wrap boxing, swordsmanship and stick work into the story of the legendary Zhang Sanfeng, who is believed to have achieved immortality and founded the Wudang Taoist Temple in the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
The show aims to demonstrate Wudang martial arts and promote Chinese national culture and spirits. It will help visitors understand and cherish the Taoism culture and its impact on humanity. Wudang will dispatch 60 Taoists aged 20 to 30 to the Expo site.
