Shaolin launches web store

shăo lín sì, Shaolin Temple

Ordering your favourite kung fu paraphernalia is as easy as high-kicking a pressure point now that those canny monks at the Shaolin monastery in China have opened their website.

Martial arts enthusiasts can snap up a pair of Shaolin slippers or a kung fu handbook with the merest click of a mouse after the monastery, birthplace of the elegant fighting code, decided to expand its already thriving merchandise empire by going online.

The Shaolin Temple, built in AD495 in Dongfeng, is the birthplace of kung fu, but the online operation is the latest example of financial stealth by the marketing warriors.

In the online store you can buy kung fu tea or T-shirts, chopsticks and bowls for those delicate balancing movements, while the manual giving you the lowdown on the five fighting styles of the Shaolin warrior - Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Dragon and Crane.


“The Shaolin temple is the cradle of kung fu, which brings with it the great responsibility of promoting kung fu,” said Mr Shi.

He’s doing quite a job. There are more than a million students of Shaolin kung fu around the world. Since it built its first centre of Shaolin culture in Berlin in 2001, the Shaolin Temple has established more than 10 centres and branches worldwide.

Temple is famous outside of China, for a whole bunch of reasons.

Being the birth place of several legendary forms of Kung Fu  — like Wushu — means it’s pretty well known around

the globe and its presence in a long list of action movies it even more familiar to the average Joe. Throw in the

fact that the Shaolin Monks regularly tour the globe putting on a show to demonstrate the discipline and agility

they’re famous for, you wouldn’t think the Shaolin Temple would need any more publicity.

Well, maybe it doesn’t, but it couldn’t hurt, right? It seems the Temple has set up its own website to peddle

Shaolin Temple goodies.

Named “Shaolin Stage of Joy”, the page has been set up on shop.shaolingongfu.com, a famous gongfu site .

So what exactly does Shaolin Stage of Joy offer? Well, it’s essentially a Shaolin gift store or souvenir shop.

Shaolin Temple enthusiasts can pick themselves up anything from chopsticks , to tea, to Kung Fu handbooks.

While Kung Fu fans may think this is a great idea, it seems the Chinese may not be so hot for the idea. Reuters

quotes one disgruntled web user as saying:

"Shaolin temple is getting less and less likeable. There’s a giant laughing buddha in Shaolin temple. If it saw

what the temple is doing these days, I’m not so sure it would still be laughing."

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)

 

Traditional Chinese medicine falls under three categories: plant, mineral and animal. The plant category is the largest. The Shennong Materia Medica, published between the first and second centuries, is the earliest materia medica extant, and lists 365 medical ingredients. The Newly Revised Materia Medica of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that lists 884 medical ingredients, was the first government commissioned pharmacopoeia in the world. The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) Compendium of Materia Medica, compiled by Li Shizhen, records 1,892 medical ingredients. According to contemporary statistics, there are now a total of 12,800 medical ingredients used in TCM.

Traditional Chinese medicine theory covers ingredients' properties, taste, prescriptions, type of medication, and usage.

There are five medicinal properties: cold, hot, warm, cool, and plain. Cold and cool, and hot and warm are similar, varying only in degree. The plain property is neutral, and comes between the two greater categories. Classification of medicinal properties has close links with the causes of disease.

According to TCM theory, human illness has two causes, one internal and the other external. External factors include climatic changes beyond human endurance, and the invasion of toxic substance. Internal factors refer to strong and sustained stimulus as caused by the seven human emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate and desire, or an improper diet, that cause an imbalance or dysfunction of internal organs. The human body is believed to encompass, like nature, six natural factors: wind, cold, summer-heat, dampness, dryness and fire. Any imbalance or abnormal change in these factors causes illnesses.

An important function of traditional Chinese medicine is to regulate or restrain these six natural phenomenon so as to maintain balance, and hence the normal physiological mechanism. For instance, cold property medicines cure febrile diseases, and those with hot properties cure cold-like syndromes.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also employed to eradicate or inhibit any germs or viruses known as toxic factors that invade the human body.

There are six classifications of taste in traditional Chinese medicine: pungent, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and bland. The two pungent remedies are the pungent-hot such as ginger, and pungent-cold such as peppermint. These are generally used to induce sweat and stimulate the qi. Sweet ingredients act mainly as a tonic; sour ingredients are to stop sweating or diarrhea; bitter ingredients purge intense heat and remove dampness; salty ingredients diffuse masses in the abdomen; and bland ingredients remove dampness and promote diuresis.

Forms of traditional Chinese medicine include decoction, bolus, powder, soft extract, pills, and medicated alcohol.
