Chinese Wushu (Kungfu) is a typical representation of the national spirit of China and is an important component of the Central Plains' Intangible Cultural Heritage. It possesses distinctive Chinese characteristics, deep cultural foundations, and is a typical example of Chinese Wushu. In order to make some contributions to international communication, this paper discusses the characteristics of Chinese Wushu and the strategies for its international communication. Our goals are to standardize the English translation of Wushu terminology, preserve the cultural characteristics of national Wushu, encourage the cultural export of Wushu culture, and broaden the channels through which Chinese Wushu can be communicated abroad. It is contended that a proposed set of interpretation procedures can advance a superior global correspondence of immaterial social legacy.
