Shaolin Temple Jian Section

Shaolin Jian

(Ref: SH2442)

China’s famed Shaolin Temple is renowned for its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kung Fu, the study of which involves a deep immersion in the principles of Zen Buddhism. Hanwei has created a sword, with the express authorization of the Shaolin Temple, that merges the philosophical principles of Zen with the physical form of the Kung Fu Jian, illustrating the unity of philosophy and the martial arts. This sword embodies the spirit of the Shaolin Temple and its martial arts traditions in a simple but elegant design.

The blade of the Shaolin Jian is forged in high-carbon steel, carefully heat treated to a spring temper and polished. The highly detailed fittings feature lotus flower decoration and the Shaolin Temple emblem in brass. The scabbard and handle are crafted in bamboo, exemplifying the spirit of Zen.

Shaolin Dharma Sword

(Ref: SH2443)

Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th/6th century, is revered for introducing Zen to China through the Shaolin monastery, which became the birthplace of Zen in China. Born into Indian royalty, he became a monk and traveled through Southeast Asia, possibly arriving in China in the early part of the 5th century. He was the 28th Patriarch of Buddhism, in a line extending back to the Buddha himself.

Bodhidharma’s association with Shaolin is legendary and some popular accounts credit him with introducing a series of exercises to the Shaolin monks that evolved into their renowned fighting skills. The Lotus flower, one of the emblems of the Shaolin Temple, is indicative of the Zen spirit by which Dharma was able to enter a meditative state that excluded all outside influences from the mind, allowing a clear insight into reality.

The graceful Shaolin Darhma Sword is truly representative of the spirit of Bodhidharma. The forged, high carbon steel blade is decorated with lotus patterns, which also form the theme of the intricately-worked handle and scabbard fittings. The handle and scabbard are traditionally crafted in bamboo.
