Was the Shaolin Monk, Ninja story true?

Recently I read on msn, that a Ninja got into a Shaolin Monk Temple in China, and beat a few of them up, is this true? The Chinese are supposedly quite annoyed about the story. Someone told me recently that the Shaolin Temples sleeping quarters they use wood that creaks, to prevent being caught unaware, any information on this? thanks

I read about that, too, and no, it's not true. It's just a case of someone on the internet making up a story that he finds amusing and insulting an entire country in the process.





I have never heard anything about the Shaolin Temple having purposefully creaky floors to prevent being caught unaware and have been unsuccessful in finding anything for or against this claim. However, I must point out that the Shaolin Temple and its monks have a unique place in both fact and legend. So many people have become fascinated with them that they have been incorporated into stories, movies, legends, etc., and this often blurs the lines between fantasy and reality.





In reality, the life of a Shaolin monk is far from glamorous. They wake early, they exercise, they meditate, they practice martial arts and then they do it all again. For them, it's all about internal discipline. There's no secret missions, no saving the world, and no earth-shattering secrets.
Reply:Yes there are such floors. They chirp when walked on. The floors are called Nightingale. There are a few Shogun castles that actually have them like Nijo Castle. Here is a pic or so. http://www.johnharveyphoto.com... Report It
