Wu Tang heter det på kantonesiska och Wudang/Wudong på mandarin.
The Wudang Mountains (Simplified Chinese: 武当山; Traditional Chinese: 武當山; Pinyin: Wǔdāng Shān), also known as Wu Tang Shan or simply Wudang, are a small mountain range in the Hubei province of China, just to the south of the manufacturing city of Shiyan.
The Wudang monasteries figure prominently in Chinese martial arts films, especially the genre known as wuxia film and popular literature. For example, an ending scene of the famous movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Taiwanese director Ang Lee was set at the Wudang monastery.
In some wuxia films about the Shaolin Temple, characters employing Wudang martial arts are featured as villains.
There is a popular saying that Shaolin Kungfu dominates the north and Wudong(Wudang) Kungfu directs the South.
