Mount Emei, a sacred mountain for Buddhists in China, stands towering the southwestern part of the Sichuan Basin. Its summit the Wanfo (Tens of Thousands of Buddhas) Peak rises up to 3099m in altitude and the whole mountainous area covers more than 4 square kilometers. Seen from afar, the undulating mountain silhouette looks like the face and long eyebrows of a demure young lady; hence the name Emei (long eyebrows).
Mount Emei is known for its picturesque landscape and legendary Buddhist sites. It possesses geographical and topographic varieties as well as well-preserved environment. High mountains, deep valleys, secluded forests with all kinds of birds chirping and chattering provide tourists enjoyment and serenity.
Emei Martial Arts, Shaolin Martial Arts and Wudang Martial Arts are the three major schools of Chinese martial arts with the longest history and widest influences.
The Emei School of Martial Arts got its name from Mt. Emei. In a general sense, Emei is the name of Bashu (present Sichuan and Chongqing) in ancient times. Therefore, the Emei School of Martial Arts can be also called "Bashu Martial Arts".
The origin and development of Emei Martial Arts have got everything to do with the history of Buddhism and Taoism of Mt. Emei. According to Records of Mt. Emei, Buddhist temples were first constructed in Mt. Emei in as early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, Buddhist temples began to increase in Mt. Emei with the rising of Buddhism. Till the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Buddhism reached its prime time in Mt. Emei, which boasted as the top four renowned Buddhist Mountains in China together with Mt. Wutai, Mt. Putuo and Mt. Jiuhua. As Buddhism and Taoism were spread into Mt. Emei, monks and Taoist priests often practiced some martial arts after meditation, reading sutras and worshiping Buddha so as to strengthen their bodies and protect the temples. Since they had deep inner gong through constant meditation; and the Buddhist and Taoist systems would exchange experience, learn advantages from each other and create respective new approaches during the practice of martial arts, the unique school of Emei Martial Arts was gradually formed in this way. The Emei School of Martial Arts combined the advantages of both Buddhist and Taoist systems by absorbing the dynamic Taoist qigong and static qigong of Buddhist meditation to create a practicing way with both dynamic and static exercises. The practice has then been held together with various boxing, instruments, free sparring and qigong to form a huge martial arts system of Emei School.
