Legend of origin:

Report 1. The founder of Wing Chun Boxing is Master Wu (formerly known as Zhu Hongmei) of South Shaolin Temple in Fuqing, Fujian. Master Wu combined Zen with martial arts, and finally created a practical kung fu-Wing Chun Boxing suitable for women to practice.

The reason why he was named after the word "Wing Chun" is the crystallization of his academic experience all his life. For example, the point, horizontal, folding, vertical, hook, pick, skimming and pressing in the right half of a simple word "Yong" hides the boxing principles and moves of Wing Chun Boxing.

The second statement is related to the "Chitiangong" written by the Qing court. At that time, South Shaolin in Putian, Fujian Province was besieged for secretly "opposing the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight". The ancient Shaolin Temple was also burned into ruins by officers and men, and only five outstanding masters ("Shaolin Five Old Men") escaped, one of whom was the Fifth Division.

On the basis of southern Shaolin crane boxing, she created a set of boxing techniques with more skills and passed them on to Yan Er and Yan Yongchun. Yan Yongchun further developed this kind of boxing, which was later called "Wing Chun Boxing".

Statement 3: Yan Yongchun, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, learned from watching snakes and cranes fight, and created it by combining Yongchun boxing and Shaolin fighting.

Statement 4. After five pieces of wing chun boxing were created, they were not directly passed on to Yan Yongchun, but passed on to Shaolin disciple Miao Shun, who passed on to Shaolin laity disciple Yan Er, and Yan Er passed on to female wing chun and her husband Fu Liang.
