New Members roostercrab Posted October 19, 2017 at 09:14 PM New Members Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 at 09:14 PM Hello! I have been learning Mandarin and 少林功夫 for a while now and have heard that there were songs that people in the old days used to use to remember their forms, especially when a majority of the population was illiterate. My instructor has been to the temple and heard of their existence, but no one seems to know them. Does anyone know of any of the songs, or even what the word would be for them so that I can do more research? Thanks! Roostercrab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
