Du Fu, a poet of the Tang dynasty also known as Tu Fu. Du Fu is consider to be one of the greatest Chinese poets in Chinese history as “readers of many different periods and types have considered Du Fu to be the greatest poet of the Chinese tradition” (Owen 413).

Northern Shaolin Kung Fu What is Kung Fu? Kung Fu also known as Gong Fu, Gung Fu, and Wushu, means martial art. Why Northern Shaolin? Northern Shaolin Kung Fu is the original martial art in which all other styles were descended from. Shaolin means Young Forest, hence big things start off small(Nguyen, 1995). Northern Shaolin originated back in the day about 4,000 years ago in a Shaolin Buddhist temple. It was developed by monks whose goal was to achieve self defense from those who would take
The moment one hears of Asian culture, martial arts may be the first idea to come to mind. In a general sense, many view martial arts as a sport that involves hurting one another. On the contrary to this belief, martial arts has had a rich history in a religious aspect as well. One may think religion and martial arts are two contradictory of each other, how can they mix? Religion plays an important factor in belief, but most of all in way of life. Religion highly contributed to the
The style of Kung Fu that I study originated in Northern China, in the Shaolin Monastery. It’s been passed down from teacher to student for a long time, and its true origins and history are shrouded in some mystery. I’ve found that the influence of the Shaolin Monastery’s surroundings is of little significance when it comes to both geography and the surrounding plants and animals. I found that customs are passed down from generation to generation, and that multiple philosophies contributed to the
beginning. A film that found tremendous success by following this outline was “Kung Fu Panda.” The film’s protagonist is Po, a panda that, from the beginning, does not appear to be capable of doing anything heroic. As in the hero myth outline stated by Leger, Po comes from a “mundane world, doing mundane things” (Seger 312). He works in his father’s noodle shop and although he admires those that practice Kung Fu, he does not have any martial arts training of his own. But Po is content with
Kung Fu Panda is an animated family, comedy, action-adventure film directed by Mark Osbourne and John Stevenson. Released in 2008, it stars Jack Black as the voice of the protagonist, Po, an enormous but lovable panda. Before Po’s journey, Po is a very different panda than the one we admire by the end. Lazy, socially awkward, and ridiculed for his size, he often breaks plates and sleeps in while working as a waiter at his father’s restaurant in the Valley of Peace. Knowing he doesn’t fit in, Po indulges
Tai Kao-Sowa Ms. Zupancic Honors English 10 7 April 2014 Kung Fu and Chinese Culture If you search Amazon Movies & TV for kung fu, it returns over 5000 hits. Every kid in America knows that kung fu is a Chinese martial art. Even though kung fu is almost always associated with China, it’s historical significance in ancient and modern Chinese life is underappreciated and not given the analysis it deserves. If you ask someone to name the great inventions and accomplishments of ancient China, he or she
Is Kung Fu Panda a definite winner? Well, I’m afraid not for its core ideas - they aren’t exactly a breathe of fresh air on the American “Family Movie” scene. But purely for incredible animation and good, simple FUN, Kung Fu Panda is most certainly in the Top 1! Yet, even with a star- studded cast (Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan) and stunning animation, I’m not quite sure it lives up to the hype…. For a start, the basic plot of this movie is pretty much the same as every
With the Shaolin monastery in China and the Enryakuji in Japan playing important roles amongst the Buddhist monasteries and becoming deeply involved in the secular world, we see a lot of similarities and differences about the relationship between the religious and secular worlds in China and Japan.

The life of a Chinese shaman is one guided by spiritual wisdom. In ancient China, shamans had a number of roles in their respective communities. For example, a shaman would act as a medium to communicate with spirits beyond the physical realm.
