Crouching tiger and hidden dragon

what do the Wudan masters teach their pupils? 
     Wudan is the place for Daoism. The basic idea of Daoism is to seek the peace and seek for the harmony between human and the nature. As a student of Wudan, Li Mubai lives out this way. Despite all his has done before, he is now willing to give out his precious sword "the Green Destiny". Swords represent fight, and Li Mubai's giving out sword means he decides to give up fight. He is seeking for the peace by giving up fight. The idea of Wudan next to having peace is to keeping the balance between man and nature. During the final fight with Jen, they fight on the bamboo. He wants to tell Jen that all we have are but the derivative of nature. If we want to really understand ourselves(for Jen is to have better Kung Fu), we need to find our harmony with nature and get used to it. That is why Li Mubai can stand on the top of bamboo; Jen can't even balance herself. Jen, finally, learn these two truth. She want the peace, which has been long gone away from her mind. She tries to jump down the mountain so that she can reclaim back that truth.
