I had a few questions, I hope someone here can answer.

The first is the most important to me, has anyone heard of the Ju Ke or Xu Ke temple? Is there any place I can get any details on it? So far as I know the Southern shaolin temple talked about in many legends of how bak mei, wing chun, etc. was created, doesn't exist. But I read a wikipedia article about some people saying that it could've come from the Ju Ke(some places call it Xu Ke) temple. Are there any records of the Qing burning it down? Does the temple exist today?


Another is, I once read something from an instructor saying he was trained in the shaolin temple in korea. I looked for information on a shaolin temple in korea and couldn't find anything online. Is there such a thing?
