Extended data:

Shaolin monks took justice, integrity, courage, patriotism and benefiting the people as their purpose, participated in many historical events and made positive contributions to resolving social contradictions. Because Shaolin Kungfu has dual functions of martial arts and meditation, especially its actual combat test, people's understanding of Shaolin Kungfu in different periods has extended from martial arts skills to the basic teachings of Buddhism, "Be merciful and help all beings". Shaolin kungfu has played the social function of secularization of religion.

With the development of 1500 years, especially with the extensive use of firearms, Wushu has withdrawn from the armed field as a whole, and the offensive and defensive functions of Shaolin Kungfu have gradually deteriorated. Its social functions of exercise, fitness, aesthetics and strengthening national identity have been further exerted, and its connotation is richer and more complete.
