武术套路术语中译英 · Wushu Terminology ZH⇄EN

A self-contained bilingual terminology reference for Chinese martial-arts (Wushu / 武术) routine and technique vocabulary. Translates in both directions and emits clean bilingual glossaries, movement lists, and labels.

When to use

• The user provides Chinese Wushu terms and wants English (e.g. "把这套长拳动作名翻译成英文").
• The user provides English Wushu terms and wants Chinese (e.g. "Bow Stance / Flying Lotus Kick 对应中文是什么").
• The user wants a bilingual glossary table, a routine (套路) action list, or pinyin + English annotations for a training/teaching sheet.
• The user is building or labeling a martial-arts resource (e.g. the taolu-zongheng routine map) and needs consistent ZH⇄EN naming.

Core resource

The single source of truth is references/glossary.json (also mirrored for humans as references/glossary.md). It contains 17 categories and ~250 curated terms, each with zh, pinyin, and en.

On any translation task, first Read references/glossary.json (or Grep it for a specific term) to get the canonical mapping. Each category object has:

{ "id": "stances", "zh": "步形", "en": "Stances",
  "terms": [ { "zh": "弓步", "pinyin": "gōngbù", "en": "Bow Stance" } ] }

Category ids: hand_forms, hand_techniques, stances, footwork, leg_techniques, balances, jumps, boxing_styles, weapons, sparring, basic_names, changquan_actions, xingyi_actions, baji_actions, shaolin_actions, tanglang_actions, competition.

Translation conventions

1. Lookup first, never guess. Match the user's term (whole word or phrase) against zh (Chinese) or en (English) in the glossary. Return the paired value.
2. Boxing-style romanization. Render 拳种 names as standard pinyin + "Quan" (e.g. 长拳 → Chang Quan, 太极拳 → Taiji Quan, 螳螂拳 → Tanglang Quan). Do not invent English words for style names; romanization is the accepted convention.
3. Stance names use the established forms: 弓步 → Bow Stance, 马步 → Horse-riding Stance, 虚步 → Empty Stance, 仆步 → Crouch Stance, 歇步 → Cross-legged Crouch Stance, 丁步 → T-step, etc.
4. Compound movement names (e.g. 弓步冲拳) are translated by concatenating the stance + technique phrases already in the glossary: "Bow Stance, Thrust Punch". Keep the comma/space separator used throughout changquan_actions.
5. Pinyin formatting. Use tone marks (quán, gōngbù), not numbers (quan2), matching the glossary.

Workflow

A. Single-term lookup

1. Read the reference文件夹里的.md文件.
2. Find the exact zh or en match.
3. Reply with zh / pinyin / en on one line (e.g. 弓步 / gōngbù / Bow Stance).

B. Batch list / routine translation

1. Read the glossary once.
2. For each input term, substitute the canonical en (and pinyin if requested).
3. Emit a Markdown table with columns 中文 | 拼音 | 英文 (or English | 中文 | Pinyin for EN→ZH).
4. If a term is not in the glossary, mark it — (未收录) and, only if confident, add a parenthetical standard romanization; do not fabricate an English gloss.

C. Build a bilingual glossary for a topic

1. Filter the glossary by the relevant category ids.
2. Output the categorized Markdown tables (as in glossary.md).
3. Preserve category order and the zh | pinyin | en layout.

Notes & boundaries

• For terms outside the glossary, apply the conventions above and clearly flag anything not verified.
• Keep replies concise: a table for lists, a single line for single lookups.
