The word Wu-Tang originates from “Wu Dang, the Taoist holy mountain located in the Central China in the Hubei Province” (Shaolin, The Influence, Think Quest).
Because the Wu-Tang Clan was made of nine members, each of whom has four chambers of the heart, the album was subtitled "36 Chambers", being the total of the nine hearts of the members. All of this is the basis for the album title, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), being that 9 members x 4 chambers = 36.
