| ARTICLES RELATED TO Jet Li |  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Comparisons between martial artsIt is common to compare the goals, teaching methods and the techniques of different fighting systems in order to understand their similarities and differences. Such comparisons tend to be controversial when there is a lack of format in which a direct and objective comparison is possible. In addition to physical combat, many martial arts have spiritual or philosophical aspirations, such as the various Chinese, Japanese and Korean martial arts that emphasise traditional Confucian teaching methods. Some systems are sports-oriented, such as Judo ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - The Cultural Revolution and its AftermathDuring the Cultural Revolution, the film industry was severely restricted. Almost all previous films were banned, and only a few new ones were produced, the most notable being a ballet version of the revolutionary opera The Red Detachment of Women. Feature film production came almost to a standstill in the early years from 1966 to 1972.
In the years immediately following the Cultural Revolution, the film industry again flourished as a medium of popular entertainment. Domestically produced films played to large audiences, and ti ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - The rise of the Fifth GenerationBeginning in the mid-late 1980s, the rise of the so-called Fifth Generation of Chinese filmmakers brought increased popularity of Chinese cinema abroad. The first generation of filmmakers to produce Chinese films since the Cultural Revolution, they jettisioned traditional methods of storytelling and opted for a more free and unorthodox approach. Most had graduated from the Beijing Film Academy since 1982. A One And an Eight (1983) and Yellow Earth (1984) (directed by Chen Kaige and photographed by Zhang Yimou) in particular wer ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - The Second Golden Age: the late 1940s and the Communist EraThe film industry continued to develop after 1945. A major Chinese production house, the Lianhua Film Company, re-established itself in Shanghai after the war and once again became the basis for leftist directors. Many showed the disillusionment with the oppressive rule of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Party. Myriads of Lights (1948), Crows and Sparrows (1949), San Mao (1949), and, most importantly, The Spring River Flows East (1947) are the classics produced during this period. The Spring River Flows East, ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - OverviewThere are many styles and schools of martial arts; broadly speaking, they share a common goal: to physically defeat a person or defend oneself. Some Eastern martial arts have a tradition of being about more than simple fighting, which is perhaps why their practice has been seen as worth preserving in the face of their military obsolescence in modern technological culture. Some believe that it is worthwhile practicing martial arts, because the principles of warriorship and understanding of tactics and strategy remain applicable in modern warfare. Certain martial arts, such as T'ai Chi Ch'uan, may also be practiced to maint ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Martial arts - Testing and CompetitionIn general, testing or evaluation in some form is important to martial art practitioners of many disciplines who wish to determine their own level of skill in specific contexts. Students within individual martial art systems often undergo periodic testing and grading by their own teacher in order to advance to a higher level of recognized achievement, such as a different belt color or title. The type of testing used varies from system to system but may include forms or sparring. Sparring can generally be divided into light- ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Cinema of China - Sixth Generation and BeyondThe recent era has seen the "return of the amateur filmmaker" as state censorship policies have produced an edgy underground film movement loosely referred to as the Sixth Generation (from the number of generations since the 1949 revolution). These films are shot quickly and cheaply, which produces a documentary feel: long takes, hand-held cameras, ambient sound (see cinema verite). Many films are joint ventures and projects with international investment. Some important Sixth Generation directors to have emerged are Wang Xiaoshuai (The Da ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Boxer Rebellion - In fictionThe events were made into the 1963 film 55 Days at Peking. The film, which was shot in Spain, needed thousands of Chinese extras, and the company sent scouts throughout Spain to hire as many as they could find. The result was that many Chinese restaurants in Spain closed for the duration of the filming because the restaurant staff - often the restaurant's owners - were hired away by the film company. The company hired so many that for several months there was scarcely a Chinese restaurant to be found open in the entire country.See also:Boxer Rebellion, Boxer Rebellion - China after 1840, Boxer Rebellion - Anti-Western Movement, Boxer Rebellion - Eight nation alliance, Boxer Rebellion - Results, Boxer Rebellion - Reference, Boxer Rebellion - In fiction, Boxer Rebellion - Footnotes Read more here: » Boxer Rebellion: Encyclopedia II - Boxer Rebellion - In fiction |

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Hong Kong action cinema - Influence in the WestAll of these developments not only made Hong Kong the dominant cinema in East Asia, but reawakened Western interest. Jackie Chan and films like Tsui Hark's Peking Opera Blues (1986) were already building a cult following when Woo's The Killer (1989) had a limited but successful release in the U.S. and opened the floodgates. In the '90s, Westerners with an eye on "alternative" culture became common sights in Chinatown video shops and theaters, and gradually the films became more available in the mainstream video market and even ...

|  |  |  | Jet Li: Encyclopedia II - Shanghai - Economy and demographicsShanghai is the financial and trade center of China. It began with economic reforms in 1992, a decade later than many of the Southern Chinese provinces. Prior to then, much of the city revenue went directly to the capital, Beijing, with little return. Even with a decreased tax burden after 1992, Shanghai's tax contribution to the central government is around 20-25% of the national total (Shanghai's annual tax burden pre-1990s was on average 70% of the national). Shanghai today is the biggest and most developed city in mainland China.
In 2005, Shanghai became the world's busiest port in terms of cargo throu ...
