Buddhism has long introduced the concept of “Kung Fu”, which is defined as a way to improve oneself by “self-cultivation” together with Taoism, while Confucianism further explains “Kung Fu” by absorbing the essence of Buddhism and Taoism.
佛教中很早就引入了对“功夫”的阐述，与道教一并将其定义为为达到一种境果而进行的“修行修炼”，而儒家集佛、道之大成，对功夫的闸述做了进一步总结。
