During the Qing Dynasty, five Grand Masters known as the Invincible Five held the greatest power in the Shaolin lineage. They were:

  • Grand Master Pai Mei (White Eyebrows), also known under the name of Dao Nhien, the Taoist. (His real name was Chu Long Tuyen).
  • Grand Master Nou Mei (Ng Mui), Nun who practiced the style of White Crane. She taught Yin Wing Chun and Hoang Hoa Bao, founders of the two lineages of present day Wing Chun.
  • Grand Master Phung Dao Duc who lived for many years at the foot of the Er-Mei Mountain.
  • Grand Master Chi Thien Su, who continued to practice Orthodox Southern Shaolin.
  • Grand Master Mieu Hien, the only layman among the five who also practiced Southern Shaolin style.
