As a cultural symbol of the interpenetration of reality and fantasy, Shaolin is known to most audiences by its most potent physical manifestation—the Shaolin Temple. The real existence of the Shaolin Temple has become the origin of fictional creation within material arts literature. This article uses Michel Foucault's theory of genealogy to reconstruct a genealogy of Shaolin, one which posits as its origin the story of “the thirteen stick-monks saving the Emperor of Tang. ” It reproduces this genealogy through the use of classical literary and historical records, literary sketches, martial arts novels, kung-fu movies and other works. The paper will outline several important points of “emergence” regarding this genealogy, articulating the rise and fall of its material arts practices. Secondly, with the help of Harold Bloom's theory of poetics, this paper will take up the Shaolin narrative of 21st century martial arts novels, analyzing the anxiety of influence that resides in the heart of late-coming authors, and their various strategies of response. |
