บทคัดย่อ

As an integral part of Chinese traditional culture, Shaolin Kung Fu traces its origins back to 495 AD, when it was introduced to the Shaolin Temple by the Indian monk Bodhidharma, and gradually evolved into a unique cultural phenomenon blending Zen Buddhism and martial arts. This article analyzes the historical origins, transmission patterns, modern development, and global cultural status of Shaolin Kung Fu. Traditionally, Shaolin Kung Fu was transmitted through master-disciple relationships, while modern methods include educational institutions, digital technology, and the cultural industry for broader dissemination. Shaolin Kung Fu is not only a symbol of China's excellent traditional culture but also demonstrates its influence on the international stage through films, sports competitions, and cultural performances. However, its dissemination faces challenges such as the simplification and performance-oriented nature of its cultural content. Future research should further explore these issues from the perspectives of Zen-martial arts philosophy, digital dissemination, cross-cultural translation, and AI-enabled innovation.
