Somewhere I saw a thread about the difference of men, jia or pai. You read styles as heihu men, rougong men and then some others are called hongjia, laojia and others just the name as cailifo as for some of the southern styles. Of course all claim their roots from shaolinpai.
Any explanation of the meaning of each term and how they are associated to their styles and denomination.

Thanks,

Mig
