What is the relationship between Shaolin Group and Shaolin Temple?

What is Shaolin Temple? The first person I knew about Shaolin Temple was the movie. Jet Li emerged from "Shaolin Temple", created a world and became a superstar. Later, I read and even became obsessed with Jin Daxia's martial arts novels, and gained a better understanding of Shaolin Temple - a holy place of Buddhism and the supreme martial arts. However, today, Shaolin Temple has a new image - Shaolin Temple Group. The so-called group is a cluster composed of many entities with considerable interest-sharing relationships. Today's Shaolin Temple is like a group, and this group is not like the political interest groups in martial arts novels. It is an extremely competitive business group with economic interests as its core. The young Shi Yongxin, the chairman and CEO of Shaolin Temple, has built Shaolin Temple Group into one of the most competitive business groups with his extremely economic acumen. As a holy land of Buddhism, it is normal for faithful men and women to travel thousands of miles to visit it; as a legendary temple that has lasted for 1,500 years, it is normal for history buffs to come to reminisce about the past; as one of the Five Mountains, many tourists come for sightseeing, which is really normal. It is normal. It is understandable that Shaolin Temple carries all these advantages, charging entrance fees and offering incense. However, Shaolin Temple is completely unsatisfied with all this. It frequently attacks and seriously engages in the eyeball economy, which makes non-Buddhists like me shake our heads and sigh. The pure heart of Buddhism is vulnerable to money. Tickets have become package tickets, prices have skyrocketed, and there are many more attractions. Even Shaoshi Mountain has become a back garden, blocking many good men and women who just want to worship Buddha. If you want to buy incense, please pay a lot of money, because there are only big incense sticks that are as tall as a person, of course, there are also taller and thicker ones. Shifang Chanyuan, a money-scraping place, the monk with a ruffian face said to me, everything I have is given by my parents, you have to donate 100 yuan to pray for your parents (the next sentence is "next"), no Isn’t it unfilial to donate? In Tallinn, a recently built tower is carved with planes, computers, trains, and automobiles. Come on, I haven’t seen anything new carved on the more than 200 towers for more than a thousand years, but now I have to worry about it even after I die. , we don’t speak ill of the dead, at least the monks who built the pagoda, they are all thinking about this. The monks now no longer recite sutras, but play them on a TV and computer with a DVD. The monks use mobile phones and play games while walking. The chairman also drives an off-road vehicle. Who is so stupid when he has a car for transportation? Go practice Qigong. If the Shaolin Temple has money, then it can organize overseas performances, crazy Zen music, and martial arts schools. Money begets money. The primitive accumulation of capital has been completed long ago. It is time to make full use of the market for huge profit exploitation. Pray for everyone in the world and donate money to out-of-school children? There are so many good men and women lining up to donate money, so why use the group’s own money? I don’t know how important the Buddha is in Shaolin Temple. There is a mystery behind Shaolin Temple's listing. As rumors about Shaolin Temple's listing continue to heat up, Shaolin Temple's abbot Shi Yongxin recently publicly disclosed the rumor, saying that the news about Shaolin Temple's listing is false news and damages the reputation of Shaolin Temple and the spirit of Buddhism, while Shaolin Temple "has enough Use the funds to support what you want to do." Interestingly, Pei Songxian, member of the Standing Committee of the Dengfeng Municipal Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Director of the Songshan Scenic Area Management Committee, previously explained in an interview: "It is not the listing of Shaolin Temple, but the establishment of a tourism industry The company goes public. "The so-called tourism company refers to the Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group Company established in Dengfeng City in April 2007. Information shows that the original intention of the company was to integrate tourism resources in the scenic area and conduct unified operations. It is not the Shaolin Temple, but Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group Co., Ltd., which takes the Shaolin Temple tourist attraction as its core business, has no shareholding relationship with the Shaolin Temple. “Shaolin Temple cannot be listed as a religious unit, and Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group has no relationship with the Shaolin Temple! "Relevant personnel from the Shaolin Temple's External Relations Department said in an interview yesterday. It was revealed that Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group is not a holding company of the Shaolin Temple, nor does it have a Shaolin Temple background. The listing is actually operated by a company with a government background, but there is no doubt about the progress of the listing. Unknown. Huang Kun, the legal advisor of the Shaolin Temple, also clarified the relationship between the two in the interview: "The Shaolin Temple has neither listed assets nor plans for listing or backdoor listing; the government only regards it (Shaolin Temple) as a Shaolin scenic spot. It is a core component, but there is no mutual shareholding relationship between Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group and Shaolin Temple; and Shaolin Temple has its own fund management system. "In fact, the current business activities of the Shaolin Temple mainly include various Kung Fu-related performances and film and television shootings. It is revealed that about 40% of the ticket revenue of the Shaolin Scenic Area belongs to the Shaolin Temple. Otherwise, there are no investment projects; and the establishment of film and television The company just wants to prevent the abuse of the Shaolin Temple brand. “But with these assets, it is impossible to go public! "Huang Kun said. Shaolin Tourism Group was established less than a year ago. "Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group may regard Shaolin Temple as part of its core business, and Shaolin Temple is only part of the Shaolin Scenic Area. "Huang Kun said. Surprisingly, Huang Kun admitted that the company was just a newly established company. He himself only heard that the company was in preparation after the rumors of Shaolin Temple's listing broke out in April last year; while Shaolin Temple was responding to the rumors. After the clarification, we did not continue to pay attention to the company, and the company has no business dealings with Shaolin Temple. “The assets are theirs (Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group), and we are not shareholders.

If it is built under the Shaolin brand, it belongs to their shareholders; if it fails, Shaolin Temple will not bear any responsibility, just like the relationship between developers and owners. "Huang Kun explained this. The reporter learned that the main management departments of the Shaolin Temple Scenic Area are the Songshan Scenic Area Management Committee, the Religious Affairs Bureau and the Dengfeng Municipal Government. According to the analysis of relevant people, the most likely "sign" of the listing of the Shaolin Temple Scenic Area is that first Establishing a commercial company makes the Shaolin Temple itself a sponsor of the company, or allows the competent authorities to become one of its founding shareholders. However, the background of the Songshan Shaolin Tourism Group, which was established less than a year ago, has always been a mystery and has been disclosed by the industrial and commercial authorities. Information shows that after its establishment, the company participated in surprise inspections and comprehensive management of scenic spots such as Zhongyue Temple in Songshan Scenic Area organized by local authorities.
