Re: Wing Chun Kung Fu
I've seen the "wing" of "wing chun" written your way, 詠. And I've seen it written as 永 and I've seen it written with the mouth radical before 永 (can't write it with my program). Now I know the one with the mouth radical is a different form for 詠, so that's okay. But, are you sure it's not supposed to be 永 for "wing chun". Since, the system was purportedly invented by a Buddhist nun and her name in English translation was "Forever Spring" and 永 means "forever".

Re: Wing Chun Kung Fu
Not completely on subject, but the name of the nun who invented it was Ng Mui. She passed it on to a girl named Wing Chun, so she could defend herself from some bandit that wanted to mary her.

Re: Wing Chun Kung Fu
The most common spelling is with 詠 for Praise Spring as in Yim Wing-chun. However, there is also the legend that the legend of Yim Wing-chun was created with the "fact" that Wing Chun Kyun was constructed in the Eternal (永) Spring Hall in the southern Shaolin temple, hence the alternative spelling.

Dear Wuxia,
Are you a student of White Eyebrows Kung Fu (from your e-mail address)? Wuxia is Mandarin for chivalry.

Re: 詠春拳之創始人「嚴詠春」祖師
: 詠春拳，為少林嫡傳武技之一，詠春二字，乃紀念詠春拳之創始人「嚴詠春」祖師。
: 祖師「嚴詠春」原籍廣東，其父「嚴二公」於九連山下經營豆腐買賣。而「詠春」則自小隨「五枚大師」習技。及後更因見蛇鶴相鬥而悟出拳術之理，並得其師「五枚大師」之修正，因而武技大成。「詠春」師祖並要求「五枚大師」為拳命名，大師則答曰你既名「詠春」，就將詠春命名此拳可也。因此，詠春拳之名正式誕生了。
: 祖師及後下嫁福建鹽商「梁博濤」，其後更隨其夫返粵，並將其武技傳與「博濤」，因此其夫盡得詠春之所傳。此為詠春拳之第二傳，時在嘉慶末年。
: 「博濤」因與紅船中人友好，並常與其友「梁蘭桂」、「黃華寶」及「梁二娣」等飲酒論技，「博濤」更將詠春拳與「華寶」等人交換紅船之名技六點半棍。及後更與「華寶」等人隨紅船漂流，在此期間，他們更日夕鑽研，苦心練習，不兩年已盡得其秘奧了。「梁蘭桂」、「黃華寶」及「梁二娣」等可謂之為詠春拳派之第三傳。少林六點半棍更為習詠春拳者必修兵器之始也。
