Song Shufan shows a fascinating collection of photographs in his book An Overview of Chinese Shaolin Kungfu. Unique to this volume is a collection of portraits of the many famous masters who are not yet monks, but who reside at Shaolin village, and many of the young children who are aspiring to be next in the lineage. Also included are many new pictures of the spectacular martial arts festivals of Shaolin, as well as the Shaolin monks themselves.
