Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - What values do the Wudan masters teach their pupils?

The values that the Wudan masters teach their pupils are passed down from generation to generation. They are to respect your master and others, to act justly and do things for the right reasons, to be determined and fight passionately, to be true to one's inner self, and lastly to uphold the responsibilities one has to his or her master. To honor his or her master the student must embrace and follow these principles. The Wudan masters instruct their pupils to consistently respect their master and always be courteous to their elders and all people. They teach the pupils to always fight with passion otherwise their hard work becomes useless. Each student has their own obligations and beliefs that they must uphold. They have to honor their master. For example, in the movie, Li Mu Bai was an honorable student and after Jade Fox murdered his master, he felt he had the responsibility of avenging his master’s death. The masters also teach their pupils to always be true to themselves and do what will be best for them. To never let outside events or people influence their actions.
