*Kung fu and Wushu are popular terms that have become synonymous with Chinese martial arts; the literal translation of "Chinese martial art" would be Zhōngguó Wǔshù; Kung fu, however, can be used in contexts completely unrelated to martial arts, and refers colloquially to any individual accomplishment or skill cultivated through long and hard work.
