        Almost all translated article:


        Illusion Mt. Songshan illusion few forests

In the mountain valley whistling the rumour, murmur the rill sound more and more makes a sound, in valley all gradually are clear. In the distant place mountain valley indistinctly appears the temple the palace garret angle.

More than 30 "the lesser monk" also likes in the movie to be same, fetches water from the rill, then has jumped in the brook a block stone marker, draws water climbs mountains. They walk as if flying, only in the hand bucket has been also small many.
        From the square to the entrance in front of, each martial arts world master was similar to saw several for hundred years, the Shaolin Temple Buddhist priests 习武 the situation which built up strength, removes the bullies and brings peace to the law-abiding, also has understood the Shaolin Temple broad and profound martial arts culture.
        In front of the entrance the few forests abbot prays peace

        10 40 minute, Central Committee Television M.C Zhang Zequn announced the ceremony fifth part "few forests peace prays the world" the start. 199 young buddhist priests knock in the goon the dried fish, sings the wish country prosperous four characters song.

Afterwards, Shi Yongxin will symbolize Dengfeng "to release, to teach, the meek Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism will gather together" the few forests "混元 the all sorts of people to attempt" develops the piece.

International Wu Lian two held the committee and the Hong Kong celebrities lights has done obeisance the temple the universe candle. Under Shi Yongxin's eagerly anticipating, recites "Wishing" in the field honored guest entire audience, marches into Shaolin Temple.
        The martial arts athlete discusses the impression
        As soon as enters the entrance, came to let the son from Taiwan's Venerable Huang Wenxiong buy three thick incenses and candles, worshipped on bended knees the Buddha in front of 大雄宝殿. He said that, own studies the Buddhism culture, this time is invited the participation martial arts festival to be extremely happy.

        Many athletes previous sessions also join Dengfeng to welcome guests the type. Came the old person day before just to compete from Shanxi's Fu's Tianbao, he said this time came Zhengzhou and Dengfeng discovered increased the very many hardware facility, Shaolin Temple's path time has come unobstructedly compared to on. The military school students performance although does not have the previous session much, also lets the person be excited very much.
        波多 the Lebanon elder brother team is family of three, the father is the training. Son Sonthan arrives the few forests to be extremely excited. He said practiced martial arts for 17 years, extremely yearned for to Shaolin Temple, that was in his heart "the martial arts Holy Land".
        (News brief)
        An athlete participates in the martial arts festival paper public lecture which from Kaifeng carries on the shoulder a steel system nine links 禅杖 to arrive Shaolin Temple. He wants 禅杖 to give Shaolin Temple the self-restraint abbot Shi Yongxin, expresses to the Shaolin Temple's sentiment of respect. But has not seen Shi Yongxin, he 禅杖 on leads a group treats as the symbol, guides to guard against with the team team members disperses.
        The roadside martial arts performance often settles down the guests watches, has forgotten the time. This might be flustered fellow group leaders, they did not stop pull the throat to greet the team member to proceed, did not fall behind. Many group leaders shouted the mute throat, has filled the throat piece in abundance toward the mouth in.
        For the scene direct seeding, the Central Committee Television even sent out to go straihgt up flies 机航 pats thousand people to do obeisance the few forests the magnificent picture. The red helicopter has flown in a people top of the head circle, on belly "CCTV" inscription impressively in item.
        The fire engine also temporarily became has photographed the vehicle. In order to photograph several thousand person of same dances sticks the scene, CCTV'S photographers stand on the fire engine scaling ladder. The scaling ladder as soon as went straihgt up to the peak has only then satisfied the photograph angle of view.
        Military is any, in the reality really has such destructive power which in the picture literature, the film and television work describes... ... Carries on in the second session of traditional martial arts festival, we interviewed 5 masters which participates in this session of martial arts festival, asks them to chat oneself to the military understanding, as well as military and area south of Yellow River relations.
        Releases Germany to raise: Does not like the rivers and lakes master
        The common name history ten thousand peaks, the Henan Province Taikang County person, Shaolin Temple Chief Wu Sengdui the concurrently head coach, the Hungarian country police station Wugong head coach, excels at few Lin Dahong the fist, Luo Hanquan, enchanted stick, fist weapon time and so on five tigers groups Yang Dao.
        Why does the martial arts festival arouse the such many people's interest?
        The people therefore so the cherish martial arts, mainly are because martial arts 一招一式 all is unfolding skill America, the build is beautiful, but also some one kind of deep cultural flavor, is already placed by the people the just incarnation. Certainly, moreover an important reason, then is in people's impression, a time minute height, everybody in the same place, is very easy to see the result.
        How do you understand people's martial spirit?
        Only has truly understood ' esteems martial arts ' the meaning, can truly practice the few forests time, since the ancient times, China "esteems martial arts", but very many people did not know any is "esteems martial arts".
        If esteems martial arts merely requests each person left hand to take the knife, right grasps the stick ' valiant, spirited ' plays a trick on, besides is probably lively, perhaps the only positive function is can 强身健体, if we advocated esteeming martial arts is this appearance, this level, this standard, that esteems martial arts does not raise.
        Esteems martial arts is the spiritual direction, it is the cultural essence, at least is one of essences, or said esteemed martial arts for the spirit, the culture has provided a platform, a will platform, it was the foundation, it was the inside story, it was, was the road.
        If does not understand "esteems martial arts" the spirit, does not have Wu De people to practice the few forests time, he not only does not comprehend to the few forests time essence, but also can injure someone causes self infliction. This kind of person, only can be at best as soon as lies between the military person. This or few forests time sorrow.
        Qiu is great: On the paper discusses the military master
        Reporter Liu Long March
        The State Council degree committee sports discipline component member, the Shanghai sports institute martial arts are professor, the Chinese martial arts nine sections, excels at Hua Quan, turns the child fist, the Taijiquan, the Eight Diagrams palm, 剑术, the whip pole and so on. Once many times held the post of the Asian Games and the domestic and foreign significant martial arts sports event always 裁判长and so on the duty, and published paper 40, and was having the 1O -odd martial arts monograph and the teaching material.
        What is military? What type it and do the area south of Yellow River have the relations?
        I thought military is one kind of boundary. The martial arts master boundary is one kind of moral boundary. The martial arts practice the certain degree are one kind of tutelage, ability having. We have made the investigation, with has not practiced martial arts the person which compares has practiced martial arts instead not to like provoking the right and wrong.
        China is one of martial arts count for much places of origin. The area south of Yellow River region martial arts are abundance of capable people, the common social practice also very much advocated 习武. The Shaolin boxing, the Taijiquan, these domestic present most popular big fists plant are produce in such environment.
        The martial arts develop after, extremely is also big to the area south of Yellow River function. Except the cultural exchange aspect function, it also may lead the local economy.
        Why does the Chinese esteem martial arts? Why can the martial arts continuously spread the millennium until now?
        The China traditional culture is one kind of agriculture ploughs the culture, advocates one kind of self-sufficient idyllic life. The cultural subject is "peace". But some people's places have the contradiction, have the war, in order to self-defense, pursues that kind of ideal life condition, the martial arts inevitably is created, retains.
        The Chinese culture is one kind extends the culture, advocated the father passes on the child, the sub- biography grandson. The father regards as the son the oneself life continuing, therefore hoped oneself all abilities, technique professor gives own son. Before we now said the traditional martial arts, are refer in new China had been established, by handed down in the family or priests and disciples form inheritance school martial arts.
        The Chinese martial arts evolve in many years development. The Chinese already the martial arts development was one kind of culture. Therefore the martial arts culture on equally extends the millennium with the Chinese other cultures, spreads until now.
        In does the literature, why not the film and television work military and in the reality military have with?
        In the reality martial arts are a fist foot practice, surpasses the person natural ability the matter is cannot do. For instance, in the film and television work person can in airborne fly, can in aquatic float, as soon as fights with the fists collapses a wall, is away from very far away can hit the mark person's acupuncture point, these in the traditional martial arts are no.
        Literature, film and television work to martial arts culture dissemination very major function. But it exaggerates the technique also makes very many people, the young people misunderstand in particular. Now the traditional martial arts development has received the hindrance, one of factors is in the reality and the film and television work military has the huge dropping variance, wants to study the martial arts the young people saw the true traditional martial arts are very disappointed.
        Chen Zhenglei plays the master which transfers the primal chaos
        Reporter Liu Long March
        Chinese Chen the village Chen 19 th Taijiquan 11th generation teach other people, Chinese present age history big martial arts famous teacher, Chinese martial arts eight sections
        What is military? What type it and do the area south of Yellow River have the relations?
        Military is one kind of spirit, the wisdom. Practices martial arts the person is not the simpleminded careless person. It needs the wisdom and the science analysis. Military may rouse the spirit, jumps also the sentiment, the guidance practices martial arts the person to exorcise to.
        The area south of Yellow River is Chinese nation's place of origin, has the ancient culture and the glorious history, only has such place to be able to have the martial arts culture. The martial arts may guarantee a side to be safe, may raise the overseas, adds lustre to for the area south of Yellow River, increases the area south of Yellow River people's self-confidence and the struggle spirit.
        How many ten feet can the Taijiquan achieve a move to split out far opposite party?
        Pummels is person's instinct. The Taijiquan does not use the fist foot, after it is fastidious sends first to, takes advantage of somebody's authority hits the potential. Along enemy's oncoming force, the use screw and the incline physical principle, adds on enemy's strength own strength also to give again the enemy. In the film and television work some primal chaos movement achieved the effect compares the exaggeration, but if borrows the strength to borrow good, is may promote very far the person. But in the television flies round light merit I never have seen at least.
        Does the folk have the master?
        The world is big, cannot say the folk does not have the master. The masters all are deep Tibet do not reveal. Now in television station's arena program some "the folk master" mounts the stage declares a position. But that kind of program is the martial arts happy musical form activity, cannot look at the official time. These programs are advantageous to the propaganda martial arts, but I does not make the appraisal from the martial arts specialized angle.
        Huang Mingfei: Young master
        Now reports reporter the field to shake/Wen Zhangxiao the winter/chart
        First session world tradition martial arts festival few forests stipulation fist and few forests stipulation stick pair of item of champion, in this session of national team team member one of two Henan team members, also is age smallest, 26 years old.
        How do you step onto the martial arts path?
        12 years ago, I cherish am entering few Lin Wuxiao to the martial arts affection to start to practice martial arts. In front of 习武, I and very many boys are same, fills the fantasy to Wugong. That time most envies the light merit and the hard first-class honor.
        Now thought that, actually Wugong is only one kind of special sports, is not certainly mysterious. I practice martial arts 12 years, have not seen the person to be able to fly up to the eaves and walls. In our martial arts truly has the light merit, but is not aquatic floats airborne, flies that kind of light merit, in my opinion, the light merit actually is one kind of spring. The person cannot soar, this is the universe for person's limit, even if the light merit is again high, also breaks through with difficulty, if some people can jump several ten feet high, that Olympic Games let him participate had calculated, that stay rod high jump did not use the stay rod, directly jumped the line.
        Falls the dragon 18 palms in for instance that, in the Shaolin Temple Buddhist scriptures Chinese style pavilion truly has, but was not that kind which Jin Yong wrote pure just the fierce style, our average person did not practice.
        Martial arts church you things?
        The martial arts actual combat must depend on the response fast, must depend on the wisdom. Now study the military student, all is the comprehensive raise, I also study discipline and so on language, foreign language, history, dissection in Wu Xiaozhong, the school take practicing martial arts Wu De to educate.
        "After military" this character disassembles, is "stops" and "the spear", also stops Ge Weiwu, therefore practices martial arts certainly is not for hits the others, but is lets more people lay down the weapon, this is a high boundary, is ' lays down the butcher knife, vertical achieves Buddhahood ' meaning. Said from the lowest request, practices martial arts the person, first must have military Germany. Practices martial arts is not for fight causes trouble, demonstrates own ability, but is for 强身健体, the hoe strongly holds weakly.
        Many practicing martial arts in front of 习武, disposition hot tempered, after but the process training, has restrained many, although is the military school, very little appears the fighting the phenomenon, because they all believed, ability bigger, destructive power bigger, therefore the responsibility is bigger, after therefore practices martial arts front, but actually compared to practiced martial arts has kept, restrained.
        What type do the martial arts occupy in yours life the status?
        After 习武, my habit work is a martial arts training, the main work is for the students on martial arts class, but also frequently omits on behalf of school even Henan attends each martial arts competition, also attains many medals.
        I carry am the martial arts this bowl food, left the martial arts, I very am possibly difficult to adapt other work. My each month income is 2,000 Yuan, except the normal work, is attends the competition to take the prize and to publish book(s) the small dish.
        Perhaps can some people think in the reality martial arts do not like in the knight-errant world to be that fierce, but I still liked this line, never had the regret to lose. I but actually thought, if modern people's still infatuatedded the knight-errant, but actually one kind did not dare faced with the reality performance. This world already did not have knight's, if had, this knight affirmed the brain was sick.
        Mao Jingguang: Martial arts education master
        Now reports Reporter Tian Zhen
        The national level martial arts referee, Chinese few forests martial arts association consultant, Henan Province universities martial arts association secretary general, six time holds the post of international Shaolin boxing big game vice- President, 38 Henan Province martial arts competition always 裁判长.
        Why does the Chinese harbor the special favorable impression to Wugong?
        The martial arts originate from the folk, had reflected the people yearned for the health, yearned for just, yearns for the ultra ability the wish. The Chinese martial arts along with the historical development, after pass through the meek road to release three cultures to infiltrate, already became set of broad and profound military study systems, including Confucianist's center and raises sharply, Taoism defended calmly sends the gentle Buddhist 禅定 to perceive through meditation and so on each kind to conform to the Chinese thought connotation, in addition Mozi afterwards knight tradition, the Chinese liked the martial arts already to arrive in the bone, has gotten the people deep culture brand mark. In gymnastics, the basketball and so on "the Western sports" arrives in front of China, the martial arts always are the people most like the most main sports way.
        习武 for more than 40 years, in your heart, what military is?
        "After military" this character disassembles, is "stops" and "the spear", also stops Ge Weiwu, therefore said "military" only is take practices martial arts as the method, "not military" is the true ultimate goal; Said from individual angle that, military is one kind can strengthen the life ability the way, the enhancement self-confidence, the boldness because of one's skill, 强身健体, exercise will, if the recombination life reviews in succession with personally perceives through meditation, military can the church person very many lives philosophy, for instance does not struggle is the struggle, is valued in the center and so on.
        How did you look to the martial arts and the area south of Yellow River relations?
        I certainly do not approve of "world Wugong leaves the few forests" the view, because the martial arts come from folk, in has in front of the few forests had the martial arts, is in the mutual study and the fusion in each kind of culture, each kind of gate which the martial arts are many which sends develops. But said on the history that, the Mt. Songshan Shaolin Temple carried forward the huge function to the martial arts; Said on the reality that, Henan is martial arts resources big province, from military personnel most, martial arts culture richest, practices martial arts the atmosphere thickest, the foreign output martial arts training are most, all previous years come 80% nation to disperse hit the champion, is not goes out from Henan, is the Henan military school raises. These years, the Henan person is more and more high to the martial arts enthusiasm. Because of the Chen Taijiquan and the Shaolin Temple these two martial arts brand, Henan's martial arts already walked in the national front row.
        How do you educate to the immediately martial arts looked?
        Now, the universities, colleges and institutes student is not too approves the martial arts, should say, the present martial arts teaching comparison defeat, the good teaching material and the teachers all compare are short of. The martial arts teaching material does not suit the student to study, some martial arts teaching material insufficient martial arts, the formalization, the simplification, some are too specialized, is disadvantageous grasps to the student; The teachers also compare lack, many understands the martial arts the person, does not understand the teaching rule, understands the teaching to understand the martial arts, too are few, hoped has the improvement.

            I think it is shaolin temple. Last year their were building some new buildings behind the temple (kind of next to the temple). The last part of the wall that normally surround the temple was not there anymore.

              I'm not sure exactly where the picture in the first post would be. It does not look remotely like anything near the actual temple. It is probably somewhere in Dengfeng, where the festival is supposed to be taking place. Though, I don't know anywhere in Dengfeng that this shot might have been created. Just don't recognize it, or, where it might have been "made".

              The temple proper does not sit that high up on a hill. The only structure that I know of in Shaolin area that sits high like that, is the wushu guan, but, that building looks nothing like it.

              The picture in the post directly above looks like it's next to the temple walls, on the east side, towards the north. Deyang's school used to be right behind this building that is currently being built, from what I can tell in the picture.

              What is interesting about the first post picture, is not how theatrical it is (it is, actually), but, how theatrical it is. OK, that makes sense. It looks like it is right out of a movie or broadway play. But, what makes it so, well, interesting, is the role that Yongxin is playing.

              He truly is becoming the master of self promotion. Gotta be impressed with how he does it.

                I remember last year, they were building a big pagoda (like the one on the first pic inside the temple (were used to be the wooden figures hall ). I will probably know where the pic is taken by tomorrow so i will let you know if interested

                The second pic is indeed taken at the east side of the temple. De Yang his school was a bit more backwards. This whole thing looks like it's taken out of a movie...they like this drama shit so much ..and I'm sure many tourists will like it too....

                  The Shaolin Temple, widely considered the birthplace of Chinese Kungfu, has frequently been in the spotlight following some headline-grabbing events, such as the super-girl-style Kungfu Competition, a luxury sports car awarded to the temple, and the latest Wushu festival, with Shi Yongxin, the abbot, at the core of it.

                  In spite of his success in gaining unprecedented attention for the Shaolin Temple, people are questioning whether the temple remains a holy place of Zen Buddhism or has become a commercialized tourist site, and whether the abbot is hero for his reforms or a temple CEO stinking with money.
                  So what's really behind the temple boss's actions?
                  During an interview on the program 360 Degree on CCTV News Channel on Tuesday, Shi Yongxin expressed his philosophy of keeping up with the times in running the temple with a commercial touch.
