Shaolin Sect
The Shaolin Sect is a fictional martial arts sect mentioned in several works of ''wuxia'' fiction. It is one of the largest and best known orthodox sects in the ''wulin'' (martial artists' community). Its home base is in Shaolin Monastery, Henan. It is also sometimes referred to as "Shaolin Monastery" or "Shaolin Temple" instead of "Shaolin Sect".
Apart from playing the role of a leading righteous sect in the ''wulin'' in ''wuxia'' novels, Shaolin is also featured in popular culture and martial arts films such as ''The 36th Chamber of Shaolin'' (1978), ''Shaolin Temple'' (1982), and ''Shaolin'' (2011). It is also synonymous with Chinese martial arts as it is mentioned in ''wuxia'' stories as the origin of all Chinese martial arts. It is best known worldwide for the Shaolin Kung Fu associated with the monastery.
The sect's members are predominantly Buddhist monks with a minority of non-monks known as "secular students" (俗家弟子).〔Cha, Louis. ''The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'' (笑傲江湖). ''Ming Pao'', 1967.〕〔Cha, Louis. ''Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'' (天龍八部). ''Ming Pao'', 1963.〕 Apart from training in martial arts, the monks also follow Buddhist customs, and practices.
==History==
The Shaolin Sect was founded in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma.〔Cha, Louis. ''The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'' (倚天屠龍記). ''Ming Pao'', 1961.〕 Bodhidharma founded the sect for Buddhist followers to practise martial arts, with the aims of improving health, training in self-defence, upholding justice and helping the weak. As such, Shaolin students were expected to behave ethically in addition to having a good mastery of martial arts.
