'''Shaolin kung fu''' ({{zh|c=少林功夫|p=Shǎolín gōngfū}}), also called '''Shaolin Wushu''' ({{zh|c=少林武術|p=Shǎolín wǔshù| labels=no}}), or '''Shaolin quan''' ({{zh|c=少林拳|p=Shàolínquán| labels=no}}), is the largest and most famous style of [[Chinese martial arts|kung fu]]. It combines [[Chan Buddhism|Chan philosophy]] and [[martial arts]].
It was developed in the [[Shaolin Temple]] in [[Henan]], [[China]] during its 1500-year history. In [[Chinese folklore]] there is a saying, "Shaolin kung fu is the best under heaven," which indicates its superiority among martial arts, and "All martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin," which indicates its influence on other martial arts. The name ''Shaolin'' is also used as a brand for the so-called external styles of kung fu. Many styles in southern and northern China use the name Shaolin.
