                Dear Mike,

                While I was in Japan, I had the opportunity to hear more about Sifu's stories and some of the past masters of various styles like Hoong Ka and Wing Chun. The more I heard of these stories, the more I came to appreciate the value of lineage and direct transmission between Sifu and student.

                Thanks for all the steady work you've done here in the Chinese Terminology section, especially in helping to write out the Chinese characters and names of the Kungfu family titles, as well as the various lineages that Sifu is directly descended from.

                Best,

                  I would like to join in and thank you for this wonderful work ! It spices up my (very basic) mandarine study with the pleasure of learning from time to time an expression/name/character related to our Shaolin Wahnam practice and history.

                  May I ask a question? The honorific title "Venerable" in English translates different chinese characters such as 法師 fa3 shi1, 禪師 chan2 shi1 or 和尚 he2 shang5. I tried to find information on the web but only found that they are all used as honorific titles for a monk. Are there differences between them? Such as referring to specific traditions ("fa3" vs. "chan2" shi1), status or time period? What expressions would be used when speaking off or addressing a contemporary monk/nun ? Thank you.

                    I have been feeling a greater connection to the masters in our lineage and this is a really nice thread for learning a bit about that :-)

                      Thank you for everyone's kind feedback. It is good to hear that people have benefited from this work.

                      Regarding Andrea's questions, I believe Sifu's December 2003 (Part 2) Q&A webpage will answer them. Please read Q&A no. 4.

                      Thanks again,
                      Mike

                        Hi folks,

                        My good pal Terence asked me about the lineage of Shaolin Wahnam and the relationship between the north and the southern Shaolin monasteries and was also curious about the transmittance of various skills. When I couldn't answer his questions, I went meandering through Sigung's excellent Q&A and on the forums during our weekly chat and we had a devil of a time trying to construct a "tree" of the various lineages.

                        I sketched a roughdraft, which is hosted on ImageShack.us:


                        I also attached that image to this post.

                        If you kind folks could please take a look at it and let me know if there are any errors? I apologize for any poor hand-writing. I used squiggly lines to represent uncertain times and potentially missing people in the lineage that I did not find last night (for example, many of the people listed in this thread, which I somehow did not find last night).

                        Styles and arts listed with an asterisk (such as the styles of Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, Eagle Claw, Baguazhang, Tantui, and Praying Mantis) represent styles that, while I'm not sure that Sigung possesses a lineage to them (e.g. Taijiquan), Sigung still reconstructed, restored, and taught them (or will teach them, like Xingyiquan at the next Summer Camp.

                        I mean no insult by any errors or mistakes, for which I take full responsibility (and another draft will be forthcoming once I have more time and information; yay school semester starting!)

                        Terence and I were curious about the matter (mostly when we began realizing just how many sets Sigung knows and were wondering where they all came from) and it all just kind of went from there!

                          Hi Fred,

                          You have attached Jiang Nan to the burning of the Northern Shaolin Temple in the 17th Century, instead our forebear fled from the burning of the Southern Shaolin Temple around 1850.

                          Venerable Jiang Nan, escaped from the burning of the southern Shaolin Temple at Quanzhou City around 1850s when he was 30 plus, adopted the name "Jiang Nan" to escape notice of the Qing Army which was after him, ran out of China and initiated the Shaolin-Wahnam lineage.

                            Whoops! Thank you for the correction! I was wondering why I couldn't find Jiang Nan in listings of the Five Elders... Thank you very much!
