46 gainers of the third stage certificated by the Shaolin Kungdu Duanpin System committee, were promoted to the middle stage of Shaolin Kungfu through a 4-day hard training from May 23 to 28, 2021. There were 45 students promoted to the sixth stage and 1 student to the fifth stage among them.

The promotion ceremony for the 3^rd training courses of the middle stage of the Shaolin Kungfu Duanpin system was held in Shaolin Temple in May 28. Master Shi Yongxin, abbot of Shaolin Temple, attended the event and issued corresponding certificate to the student.

In the 4-day training, master Yanpei and master Yange from Shaolin Temple, and Dr. Hong Hao from Henan University as theoretical teachers, taught historical culture, social value, precepts for Kungfu practice and so on; inheritors of Shaolin Kungfu intangible cultural heritage including Yanti, Yankai, Yanye, Yanchen and Yanfeng as technical teachers, taught students in terms of movement, force, breath and so on.

At the promotion ceremony, abbot Yongxin gave certificated students’ blessing and wishes, “as inheritors and practitioners of the national intangible cultural heritage, the certification of the middle stage is just a new start. I hope that each student can work harder to devote himself to Shaolin Kungfu practice, meticulously propagate Shaolin Kungfu and actively conduct all-round promotion of the Shaolin Kungfu Duanpin system.”

Abbot Yongxin mentioned, “joining the Shaolin Kungfu Duanpin system is one of Shaolin families. It is hoped that everyone can pay more attention to the development of the Shaolin Duanpin System and come back to Shaolin Temple often.”
