| Some people may believe that the symbol of China’s Shaolin Temple monk is American’s Pepsi tab. But in fact, the mark on Shaolin monk’s head is really called “香疤 (xiāng bā) dots made by hot incense.”

| In the commercial, the foreign monk broke three pieces of bricks with his bare hands. This move is called “铁砂掌 (tiěshā zhǎng) iron palm,” because it is practiced in the “铁砂 (tiěshā) iron sand.” It is one of Shaolin 72 “secret arts.” Hands of people who have mastered this art become as hard as iron and can smash bricks or stones easily. |

| The movement of crushing flat a Pepsi can with one’s bare head is called “铁头功 (tiě tóu gōng) iron head.” Just like “铁砂掌 (tiěshā zhǎng) iron palm,” it is also one of Shaolin 72 “secret arts. ” Masters of this move can make sheets of iron cave in with their heads as easily as blowing off dust, let alone breaking stones. |

生词 (shēngcí) Vocabulary |
少林寺 (shàolínsì): n Shaolin Temple
Some people may wonder why it is called Shaolin Temple, and not another name. It is because the temple is located at the foot of the “少室山 (shàoshì shān) Shaoshi Mountain,” in a “密林 (mìlín) thick forest.” So people take one character from each phrase and name the temple “少林寺 (shàolínsì).” |
Example:A: Wǒ hěn xǐhuan Zhōngguó gōngfu. Dàn wǒ gāi qù nǎlǐ xuéxí zuì zhèngzōng de gōngfu ne? B: Dāngrán shì Zhōngguó Hénán de Shàolínsì le! 功夫 (gōngfu): n Kungfu
|
Example:Chénglóng shì guójìshàng yǒumíng de gōngfu jùxīng. 百事可乐 (bǎishìkělè): n Pepsi
|
Example:A: Xīn de yìnián lǐ zhùnǐ bǎishìkělè. |
