What did Shaolin monks do during their stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression?

During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the rescue team of Shaolin monks saved lives.

In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Master Shi hung a bill at the Jade Buddha Temple (monks from other temples stayed in the temple temporarily). When Japanese soldiers attacked Shanghai, the local organization had an ambulance service. At that time, I joined the rescue team with certain Shaolin Temple medical skills. After the fall of Shanghai, Master Hang Zhang returned to Shaolin Temple.

After Japanese soldiers entered the Central Plains and came to Dengfeng, Master Zhang Xing contacted the medical team, organized monks who didn't know martial arts, and set up a monk rescue team. Every member of the monk rescue team still wears the Red Cross symbol on his arm.

As soon as there is a battle, the monks' medical rescue teams are all dispatched to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, carry stretchers, and sometimes transport bullets, food and other items. In order to rescue the wounded, sometimes members of the ambulance team rushed to the front line, and several monks were injured by Japanese bullets.

During the encounter in Caocun, when a monk of an ambulance team went to the front to save the wounded, the Japanese soldier who was rushed up stabbed a bayonet along his neck and fell to the ground and died. In many battles, the monk medical rescue team was widely praised by the local people and the anti-Japanese brigade.

Jiefang Dengfeng City

On August 2 1, 1945, after the liberation of Dengfeng city, Shaolin cadres and militia troops took the initiative to clear the peripheral obstacles for the main force of the anti-Japanese independent detachment in western Henan, and drove Li Laohu from Shilipu to Shilipu, and finally entered Dengfeng city.

Li Laohu is a traitor Chang Bao and a pseudo-battalion chief. He is armed with hundreds of people and runs roughshod over the village. He is a bully in Shaolin. The masses hated him and called him a "tiger wolf".

On August 24th, Li Laohu, who was covered in chaff, was dragged out from under the bed by Shaolin cadres, and Hou Li was sentenced to death by the anti-Japanese government in Dengfeng.

After the liberation campaign in Dengfeng City, monks such as Su, Yi, and Yi dressed in cassock and holding home-made loudspeakers publicized the anti-Japanese situation and the anti-Japanese government policies in the streets, attracting thousands of people to participate.

Later, someone wrote an impromptu ballad, which has been passed down to this day: "Shaolin Temple, young monk, and Commander Pi fight leopards and wolves;" The Japanese surrendered and the traitors were swept away. Li Laohu, the mountain king, was driven out of Songshan Mountain and had nowhere to hide. " The tiger and wolf died in Dengfeng, and Shaolin people rejoiced. "

Extended data:

"Those who killed the Japanese invaders were really meritorious monks."

Buddhism is about compassion and not killing. Will this contradict the anti-Japanese killing? Shi Yongxin, abbot of Shaolin Temple, said in an interview that Shaolin Temple believes in Mahayana Buddhism and has been committed to saving all beings.

During the Japanese invasion of China, people lived in dire straits. Around Shaolin Temple, many people were killed by Japanese soldiers, and even the Buddhist monks in Shaolin Temple were spared.

Taking part in the war of resistance and killing Japanese soldiers when the country is in trouble is actually the only way to patriotism and save the country. This is also to save more working people. Instead of being guilty, they can become active monks.

According to Master Su's memory, when the Japanese soldiers first arrived, the monks in the temple had several ideas. Some monks want to be isolated from the world, fasting and chanting scriptures every day, and don't ask about current events.

Some monks believe that both monks and ordinary people should be patriotic, and when the country and people are violated, they should stand up and bravely resist Japan. Master Su Xi said that in the initial battle, most monks were afraid to shoot, and they were unwilling to kill Japanese soldiers. However, seeing one comrade-in-arms being knocked down and ordinary people being burned, killed and robbed aroused the anger of monks.

Master Su said that in those years, he saw Shi kill a Japanese soldier in the battle at the East Gate of Shaolin Temple. After the battle, Shi deliberately ran to the body of the Japanese soldier and read the scriptures for a long time.
