The relationship between Shaolin Wushu schools and chivalrous culture is manifested in three aspects.

First, Shaolin's martial arts are extensive and profound, and no one can exhaust them. It is the largest treasure house of martial arts in the world and deserves to be called the largest martial arts school. Therefore, in the rivers and lakes, Shaolin Sect often plays the role of "moral" defender, referee and leader. For example, Shaolin in Jin Yong's "No Dragon Eight Parts", the best martial arts in the world is Shaolin; Before the attack of Yanmenguan, the leader of Liao people, Wang Ba's ambition and blood-stained hatred were turned to dust by compassion Buddhism out of Shaolin, and it was in Shaolin that resentment was dissolved. Of course, sometimes Shaolin is too tolerant and leads to greed. For example, the evil Jianghu of Yuan Zhen (played by Cheng Kun) in "Eternal Dragon Slayer" has a lot to do with the connivance of Shaolin. They think that people's hearts can be changed, but they don't know that some little people are hard to change, and so on.

Secondly, from the legend of the origin of Shaolin, a number of chivalrous literary works have been produced. One of the most famous films, Shaolin Temple, starring Jet Li, tells the story of "Thirteen Stick Monks Saving the King of Tang" and the legend that Shaolin began to carry forward.

Jade Tatafarin, a famous anti-Japanese soldier in Ming Dynasty, is said to have a close relationship with Shaolin. The legend of Hong Men Heaven and Earth Society originated from Shaolin; In literary and artistic works, the "Fang Shiyu Series" with Shaolin laity disciples as the theme appeared again.

Shaolin is a master of China Wushu, which occupies an important position in chivalrous culture.
