Shaolin temple, Shaolin warriors and Shaolin history
Shaolin Chuan originated in the Shaolin Temple on Mount Songshan at
Dengfeng in Henan Province. It was named after the temple. The founder of the
Shaolin Chuan was said to be an Indian monk, Bodhi-dharma. The proposition,
though very influential, was proved to be false, for there was a monk named
BodhHiharma but he knew nothing at all about Chinese Chuan. In fact, Shaolin
Chuan was the manifestation of the wisdom of the monks of the temple, secular
Wushu masters and army generals and soldiers.
According to historical
records, the Shaolin Temple was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty in the
19th calendar 
year of the reign of Emperor Taihe (495) and is one of
China¡¯s most famous an-cient temples. The Shaolin Temple once had many monks on
its premises. Those monks of the lower level mostly came from the secular
society and some of them knew some martial arts before entering the temple.
