  "Young people don’t talk about martial arts", "Mouse tail juice", "I care about it, there is no flash"...Ma Baoguo, who claims to be the "master of Hunyuan Xingyi Taijiquan", suddenly went viral last year, and his "Quotations" "It became a common stalk of chat at the time.

Afterwards, Ma Baoguo announced in a high-profile manner that he would enter the film and television industry and participate in movies that promote traditional martial arts. He was named and criticized by the central media before it hurriedly ended.

  In fact, Ma Baoguo's farce is not alone.

In recent years, individual pseudo-masters, false heads, etc., have created their own sects, self-styled titles, and bundled traditional Chinese martial arts for commercial hype. The negative impact on martial arts should not be underestimated.

  Recently, the Wushu Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports (hereinafter referred to as the Wushu Center) and the Chinese Wushu Association have issued the "Administrative Measures for Cleaning up and Rectifying Wushu Chaos and Standardizing Event Activities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative Measures"), which clarified the need to focus on cleaning up and rectifying Wushu Chaos Principles of sanctions, supervision responsibilities and requirements, types and measures of sanctions, etc.

  In an interview with a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily, a number of experts believed that the promulgation of the "Management Measures" provided a clear basis for clearing up and rectifying martial arts chaos, and bringing martial arts events into the track of the rule of law is conducive to promoting the health and order of traditional martial arts. development of.

Make a private appointment

Really chasing personal fame and fortune

  Martial arts generally refers to traditional sports with Chinese culture as the theoretical basis, martial arts methods as the basic content, and routines, fighting, and exercises as the main forms of sports.

  Chinese traditional martial arts have a long history, broad and profound, and are the outstanding traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic last year, traditional martial arts such as Taijiquan and Baduanjin have been continuously searched for because they play a certain role in comprehensive fitness and improve body immunity.

  It is worth noting that in January 2020, the IOC Executive Committee meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland included martial arts as an official event of the Fourth Youth Olympic Games; on December 17, my country’s declared "Tai Chi" was It was included in the UNESCO representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of mankind, arousing worldwide attention.

  The real martial arts have both historical significance and contemporary value. However, in recent years, many fake masters and fake heads have focused on the huge commercial value behind martial arts, and they "appeared" one after another through packaging and building momentum, causing chaos in the martial arts world: some The output of the "master" depends on roaring, and I can't wait to stun the opponent before going on the field; some "master" status depends entirely on blowing, showing martial arts becomes a competitive acting skill.

  The person in charge of the Wushu Center pointed out that in order to pursue personal fame and wealth, some pseudo-masters and heads have created their own sects and self-proclaimed titles, taking the weight of traditional Chinese martial arts and the essence of personal pursuit of fame and gain, which has brought great influence to traditional martial arts. Negative impact.

  According to Tian Siyuan, the executive vice president of the Sports Law Research Association of the Chinese Law Society and a professor at the Tsinghua University Law School, the many chaos that have emerged in recent years have caused the social image of traditional martial arts to "fall off a cliff", which dampens the general public's perception of traditional martial arts. Love and attention have seriously affected the healthy and sustainable development of the martial arts industry.

  Regarding the cause of the chaos in martial arts, Tian Siyuan believes that on the one hand, commercial interests are engulfed. Self-created sects, private appointments, self-proclaimed titles, etc. all have explicit or implicit commercial interests fueling the flames, especially in the context of the Internet. , The platform and capital hope to use traditional martial arts to tap hot spots and blog traffic; on the other hand, there is the lack of legal regulations. With the approval of mass and commercial events, a large number of martial arts events have emerged, but there is an incomplete management system. , Irregular competitions, imperfect supervision methods, insufficient law enforcement basis, etc.

  Gao Songjiang, deputy director of the Sports Business Committee of the Shanghai Lawyers Association, told the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily that in the past, the Wushu Association can govern violations of the martial arts industry in accordance with the "Chinese Wushu Association Constitution" and the "Chinese Wushu Association Disciplinary Punishment Measures."

However, the scope of application of the above regulations is more inclined to martial arts competitions, including athletes, coaches, team leaders, referees and other staff in the competition related disciplines, such as fake matches, strikes, refusal to exit, refusal to accept prizes, etc. .

As for the social activities of martial arts outside the arena, especially the chaos of martial arts active on the Internet, it is sometimes difficult to investigate.

  Tian Siyuan believes that various malicious hype incidents have brought a huge negative impact on traditional martial arts, but his behavior neither applies to the provisions of the Chinese Wushu Association Disciplinary Punishment Measures, nor does it meet the punishment conditions of other laws, regulations, and rules. There is a lack of corresponding laws and regulations.

At the same time, there is still the problem that the application of laws is not very targeted. Due to the particularity of sports, especially the martial arts field, there are also major disputes about whether certain acts can be punished by relevant laws, regulations, and rules.

Pay close attention to the key and strike out

Clean up ten types of chaos

  In recent years, the Wushu Center and the Chinese Wushu Association have been working hard to rectify the chaos of Wushu.

Beginning in 2017, the Wushu Center has successively issued "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Supervision and Management of Wushu Events", "Guidelines for Organizing Wushu Fighting Events (Trial)", and "Guidelines for Participating in Wushu Fighting Events (Trial)".

The Chinese Wushu Association issued the "Proposal on Strengthening Industry Self-discipline and Promoting Martial Arts Culture", calling on all martial artists to unite, abide by martial ethics, observe rules, strengthen self-discipline, and promote the excellent traditional Chinese martial arts culture.

  Last year, the General Administration of Sports, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Health Commission, and the General Administration of Market Supervision jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Safety Management of Fighting Events and Events."

"The "Administrative Measures" are not only the inheritance of the above-mentioned documents, but also the specific measures to implement the above-mentioned documents, responding to social expectations." Tian Siyuan said.

  "The promulgation of the "Administrative Measures" is of great significance to maintaining the positive image of traditional martial arts and strengthening the management role of industry associations." Gao Songjiang said, "From the perspective of the provisions of the "Administrative Measures", there are five chapters and 32 articles. There are detailed divisions of violations of laws and regulations, as well as corresponding punishment types and measures for different subjects, different degrees and different chaotic behaviors, which provide a feasible basis for cleaning up and rectifying martial arts chaos."

  Regarding the key to clean up and rectify the chaos of martial arts, the "Administrative Measures" clarifies ten types of chaos that must be cleaned and rectified, including: (1) Violation of martial arts competitions and martial arts fighting competitions and competition guidelines and participation guidelines, organization Or participate in irregular competition activities; (2) Create sects at will, make appointments in private, maliciously attack, slander each other, and discriminate against others; (3) Self-proclaimed "master", "master", "authentic", "biography" and other titles to deceive the world (4) Collecting money in the name of "apprenticeship and apprenticeship", "birthday celebration", "comparison and commendation", and other behaviors that violate public order and good customs; (5) deviate from the spirit of martial arts and use false advertisements and false propaganda (6) Forging or selling fake athlete grade certificates, fake rank certificates, fake coach certificates, fake referee certificates or related qualification certificates; (7) through martial arts Games and activities engage in illegal activities such as gambling, fraud, and illegal fund-raising; (8) Use martial arts venues or instruct others to engage in feudal superstition and other illegal activities; (9) Regardless of safety, regardless of project, gender, age, weight class, etc. Use protective gear in martial arts fighting competitions as required; (10) engage in other illegal activities in the name of martial arts.

  In terms of regulatory responsibilities and requirements, the "Administrative Measures" clearly stipulates that once illegal contracts, malicious hype, irregular competitions, fake masters and fake masters slander and deceive and other signs of violations are found, the Chinese Wushu Association will promptly report, stop, and deal with them according to law. A variety of supervision methods will be used in a comprehensive manner in accordance with regulations, and individuals or organizations that refuse to make rectification will be promptly and actively combined with multiple departments to conduct law enforcement investigations.

"The "Administrative Measures" clearly and strictly supervises the Chinese Wushu Association and its member associations at all levels, and truly puts Wushu into the track of orderly development, and effectively combats behaviors that damage the image of Chinese traditional Wushu." Tian Siyuan said.

  In terms of punishment types and measures, the "Administrative Measures" stipulates four types of punishments, including interviews for warning, notification of criticism, cancellation of industry-related qualifications, and inclusion in the industry blacklist.

At the same time, it also provides for seven severe punishments, such as severe punishments for two or more violations of the same nature, two or more violations of the same nature within a year.

  The "Chinese Wushu Association Disciplinary Punishment Measures" stipulates nine types of punishment. Why does the "Administrative Measures" only stipulate four types?

In this regard, Tian Siyuan believes that although the "Administrative Measures" only provides for four types of penalties, these four types of penalties all directly hit the "pain" of the martial arts industry and related practitioners, and the types and measures of penalties are more targeted.

  Tian Siyuan said that the "Administrative Measures" will separately stipulate the penalties for individuals and organizations, and specify specific types of penalties for athletes, coaches, referees, individual members of the Chinese Wushu Association, and Chinese Wushu Duan winners. The operability is very strong in practice.

Consolidation responsibility joint supervision

Put an end to false masters and false heads

  "The "Administrative Measures" solves the problem of'what to punish, how to punish and who will punish the chaos in martial arts, and provide a clear basis for clearing and rectifying the chaos in martial arts, and bring martial arts events into the track of the rule of law." Tian Siyuan said, The next important thing is how relevant entities can ensure the effective implementation of the "Administrative Measures" in practice.

  The relevant person in charge of the Wushu Center stated that in the next step, the Wushu Center will work with relevant departments to study and formulate systems and standards for traditional martial arts masters, and establish an industry certification system, so as to be reasonable, well-documented and practical, and to eliminate fake masters and fake masters from the systems and standards. The leader provides a strong guarantee for the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional martial arts.

At the same time, it will strengthen the supervision network of martial arts chaos at the provincial, city, county, and township levels, implement the territorial primary responsibility system, and sign responsibility letters with provincial martial arts centers (institutions) to consolidate territorial responsibilities and form a nationwide supervision network.

  The "Administrative Measures" clearly stipulates that it applies to the whole martial arts industry and organizations and individuals related to the martial arts industry.

Tian Siyuan believes that in addition to the Chinese Wushu Association and its member associations at all levels, they must effectively perform their duties in the supervision of the martial arts industry, strictly enforce the law, clean up and rectify martial arts chaos in accordance with laws and regulations, and impose penalties on related organizations and individuals for violations. Such martial arts organizations and related practitioners must establish a correct view of martial arts, practice martial arts in a scientific, civilized, and safe manner, promote traditional martial arts culture, and practice socialist core values.

How the "Administrative Measures" is connected with the punishments of relevant laws, regulations, and rules, as well as the punishment procedures and remedies in the "Administrative Measures" need to be further clarified.

  Gao Songjiang believes that in 2018, the State Sports General Administration formulated the "Sports Market Blacklist Management Measures", which stipulates that the sports authorities of the provincial people's government should include business entities or practitioners on the sports market blacklist.

The "Administrative Measures" also stipulate the punishment measures for "being included in the industry blacklist", but how to improve the connection between the two management methods requires further research between the sports administrative department and the Wushu Association.

  Tian Siyuan suggested that in order to further strengthen the efforts to clean up and rectify the chaos of martial arts, a coordinated regulatory model of martial arts chaos can be established to give full play to the governance role of multiple subjects. In addition to the "proactive" supervision of the administrative department, it also needs to rely on social supervision and public opinion guidance. As well as the self-discipline of the martial arts industry, in order to promote the joint force of supervision, and constantly promote the modernization of the martial arts governance system and governance capabilities.
