Introduction
Traditonal Chinese Medicine and the Shaolin Temple
The Songshan Shaolin Temple is renowned in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a great centre of medical learning. For centuries the Temple and its satellites have acted as medical universities equivalent in status and importance to teaching hospitals in Western Medicine.
