The Emei School comes from Mt. Emei in Sichuan Province. It is a martial arts sect combining the kung fu of Shaolin School and those of local fighting skills. In the Ming Dynasty, the School of Emei had its own forms of martial arts, such as the Emei Ciangfa, the ciang spear form by the monk Pu En; the Baimeicyuan, the boxing form by the Taoist priest Baimei; and the Yasingchuan boxing form by the Taoist priest, Lyu Ya.

      There are also contradictory stories about the birth of the School of Emei. One of the stories says that this School is the combination of the various martial arts sects such as Huanglinpai, Yumencyuan and Baimeichuan. Another story points out the eight popular martial arts sects including the Ceng, Yue, Du, Jhao, Hong, Hua, Zih, Hui plus the five sects Huanglin, Diancang, Tiefu, Chingcheng and Chingniu formed the Emei School.

      The Emei School in novels is deeply affected by the famous novelist, Huanjhu Loujhu. Members in this school can hide the flying knife in their mouth and can fly. They are half-human and half-god. Lately the stories about the Emei School have come down to the earth, and it is divided into the two sects Emei and Chingcheng, and they are both famous for their strange sword forms.
