I keep coming across references to the "100 national treasures" and other similar lists of great Gong fu masters. Does anyone know where there is a definitive list of these masters?
could you be coming across the list of 108 "stars from heaven"(from the books outlaws of the marsh)? or is the list modern as in 20th century-present masters?
I think it is a fairly modern PRC quasi-governmental list that one or more martial arts committee etc. will put put every now and again.
Yep, it's a modern list showing alot of the old masters that are still alive today. Obviously names such as Sun Jianyun, Daughter of Sun LuTang, Chen Xiao Wang Feng Jing Chun Wang Bo Feng Zhi Qiang Wei Shu Ren Zhao Zeng Fu well that's 7 or 6 now as Sun JianYun has passed away. So only 94 more to find.
