Editing Dojo (section)

::* Wuguan, mou kwen 武馆 ([[kungfu|Traditional Chinese Martial Arts]]). Literally: 'Martial Hall'. Similarly to a Dojo, there is a Confucian-like hierarchy between the students and teachers. However, the hierarchy often more so resembles a 'family', than a bureaucracy. The altar, which only exists in some of the Wuguan, may be dedicated to past Masters, deities, or both. That is unlike in a Dojo, where the pictures of Masters are usually not placed within the shrine itself. Historically, and sometimes still in our time, this type of cultural enterprise was used as a community center.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bluestein|first=Jonathan|author-link=Jonathan Bluestein|year=2024|title=Martial Arts Politics Explained|publisher=Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp |isbn=979-8335564984}}</ref> This is the opposite of many Dojos today, which join an extant community center, to become a part of it. The Wuguan is a central establishment in many kung fu movies, such as those of the [[Shaw Brothers Studio|Shaw Brothers]] company, and the films about late Wing Chun grandmaster [[Ip Man|Yip Man]] and martial arts folk hero [[Wong Fei-hung|Wong Fei-hong]]. 
::* Dojo/dojang is pronounced in Mandarin as ''daochang'' and Cantonese as ''dou cheung'' due to its Chinese characters used for the Japanese and Korean martial arts schools established in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
