San Te
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The San-De or San Te monk was a legendary Shaolin martial arts disciple who trained under the general Zhi Shan. His given name was not San-De. The title San-De means "Three Harmonies" or "Three Virtues". He lived in the early 18th century and resided at the Xichan Monastery after leaving the main Shaolin monastery.
San Te has been depicted in some Hong Kong films. One of the most popular of these was 1978's 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka "Master Killer" and "Shaolin Master Killer") starring Gordon Liu (aka Liu Chia Hui and Lau Kar Fai), produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio. Celestial Pictures has remastered the video and audio in widescreen format, and the film is available now on DVD.
