According to Guancha , the topic "Jiu Ma Zhi, Shaolin Temple" attracted hundreds of millions of views and tens of thousands of comments on Weibo, after the temple's management board confirmed that abbot Thich Vinh Tin was accused of committing a criminal offense on July 27. Currently, many agencies from ministries in China are coordinating to investigate Mr. Thich Vinh Tin for the following accusations: misappropriation of project capital and temple assets, serious violations of Buddhist precepts, having illicit relationships with many women and having children out of wedlock.

Mr. Shi Yongxin, whose real name is Liu Yingcheng, was born in 1965 in Fuyang City, Anhui Province. According to the Shaolin Temple website, he came to the temple in 1981 and accepted the 29th abbot, Shi Xingzheng, as his master. After Elder Shi Xingzheng passed away in 1987, Mr. Shi Yongxin inherited the robe and bowl and assumed the position of Chief of the Shaolin Temple Management Board, in charge of all the temple's affairs.

A popular tourist destination, located among majestic mountains. Shaolin Temple is famous as the birthplace of the sect of the same name.

The Chinese have a saying "The world's greatest martial arts come from Shaolin", to honor the importance of the martial arts school. Shaolin martial arts has appeared many times in films and literature, especially leaving its mark in Jin Yong's novels. In his stories, Shaolin is a famous and righteous sect, its name is on par with the Wudang sect, both are Mount Tai and Beidou in the martial arts world, holding important positions. These two sects often unite to protect justice.

After the incident of abbot Thich Vinh Tin, many people associated and shared the excerpt of the character Cuu Ma Tri at Shaolin Temple in the 1997 TVB film Thien Long Bat Bo , with the line: "Shaolin Temple turns out to be a place to secretly hide female beauty, harboring darkness and filth".

In Jin Yong's original work, Qiu Mozhi challenged the monks of Shaolin Temple. When he was fighting the young monk Xu Zhu, when Xu Zhu was at a disadvantage, four people wearing Shaolin monk robes drew their swords and attacked Qiu Mozhi to protect the monk. Qiu Mozhi discovered that these people were women disguised as men, so he cut off their hats, revealing their identities as women with four long hairs. At this time, Qiu Mozhi said: "Shaolin Temple not only won by relying on numbers, but also secretly hid its female beauty, its hundred-year-old honor turned out to be like this, today I have learned my lesson."

The four girls were originally Mai Lan Truc Cuc of Linh Thu palace. They did not understand human affairs and only served Hu Truc - the person who was given the position of Linh Thu leader by Thien Son Dong Lao after she passed away.

Kim Dung released Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in 1963, the story's name was named after the eight sentient beings in Buddhist mythology. These beings were formerly vicious, but were transformed by Buddha into divine beings that protected Buddhism. The novel revolves around the fate of three main male characters, Tieu Phong, Hu Truc and Doan Du. Tieu Phong is upright and righteous, Hu Truc is kind-hearted, and Doan Du is infatuated and kind. By chance, they became sworn brothers at the Shaolin Temple, going through life and death together.
