Abstract:
The book charts the history of the Shaolin Temple and the evolution of its world-renowned martial arts. In this meticulously researched Meir Shahar considers the economic, political, and religious factors that led Shaolin monks to disregard the Buddhist prohibition against violence and instead create fighting techniques that by the twenty-first century have spread throughout the world. He examines the monks’ relations with successive Chinese regimes, beginning with the seventh-century Emperor Li Shimin and culminating with their complex relations with Qing rulers.
