According to legend, as some monks studied an animal, they became convinced that they were like that animal. For that reason, they were not allowed to train in any one animal style for too long.

Многие формы кунг-фу были вдохновлены движениями животных, например змеи, журавля или тигра. Монахи изучали, как эти существа отдыхали, охотились и сражались. Затем, взяв поведение животных за основу, монахи создали ряд боевых стилей, имитирующих животных. Согласно легенде, некоторые монахи, изучая животное, убеждались, что сами похожи на него. Поэтому им не разрешали слишком долго тренироваться только в одном стиле, связанном с животным. Тренировки в нескольких стилях также обеспечивали развитие у монахов разнообразных навыков кунг-фу.
