别赞上人 百川日东流
客去亦不息
我生苦漂荡
何时有终极
赞公释门老
放逐来上国
还为世尘婴
颇带憔悴色
杨枝晨在手
豆子雨已熟
是身如浮云
安可限南北
异县逢旧友
初忻写胸臆
天长关塞寒
岁暮饥冻逼
野风吹征衣
欲别向曛黑
马嘶思故枥
归鸟尽敛翼
古来聚散地
宿昔长荆棘
相看俱衰年

Modern Development of Shaolin Kung Fu
During the reign (1722-1735) of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the practice of all forms of martial arts was forbidden. Shaolin Temple, however, is said to have continued the practice of wushu in secret, and even helped to organize the continued teaching and practice of wushu throughout the country. In any case, after the fall of China's last Imperial dynasty, wushu blossomed, and Shaolin Temple could again openly teach it (banning an activity, paradoxically, seems to be one of the best ways to spark interest in it, as the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the US from 1919-1933 proved!). Martial arts was again banned during China's Cultural Revolution (1966-76), but quickly bounced back afterward.
