Introduction and detailed information of Wing Chun Boxing

There are many legends about the origin and version history of Wing Chun Quan. Wing Chun Boxing, which has developed to this day, is essentially the development and perfection of its predecessors. Although many people think that Wing Chun Boxing originated in the Sichuan-Yunnan border region, is popular in Fujian and is famous in Foshan, Guangdong, due to the lack of written materials, the history of Wing Chun Boxing is only spread orally among the people, and then it is described in unofficial history's novels. Over time, there are different opinions, so there have been different opinions about the origin of Wing Chun Boxing, and there is no unified statement.

Statement 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 lifelong knowledge and experience. For example, the point, horizontal, folding, vertical, hook, pick, skimming and pressing in the right half of a simple word "Yong" hides the boxing theory and moves of Wing Chun Boxing.

Statement 2: It has something to do with the Burning Palace in the Qing Dynasty. 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, Quanzhou, Fujian, learned from watching snakes and cranes fight, and created it by combining Yongchun boxing and Shaolin fighting.

Statement 4: After the five pieces of Wing Chun Boxing were compiled, they were not directly passed on to Yan Yongchun, but passed on to Shaolin disciple Miao Shun, who passed on to Shaolin layman disciple Yan Er, and Yan Er passed on to female Wing Chun and her husband Fu Liang.

Statement 5: The creation of Wing Chun Quan has nothing to do with five teachers or Yan Wing Chun Quan, and there is no dispute between snakes and cranes. Wing Chun Boxing, formerly known as Wing Chun Boxing, is a fighting martial art organized by the anti-Qing organization "Heaven and Earth Club" in the early Qing Dynasty, which was created by Chen, a Shaolin disciple in Songshan, Henan. He (or she) first passed it on to Zhang Wu, a martial artist in the troupe (known as "Tan Shouwu", which is said to have the reputation of "one Tan Shouwu alone in the Wulin"). Later, Zhang Wu stayed in Guangdong, settled in Qionghua Hall in Dajiwei, Foshan Town, Nanhai County, and spread Wing Chun Boxing to his disciples in the form of Cantonese opera. After the Li Uprising in Xianfeng period, the disciples changed the word "Yong" to "Yong" and "Yong" to avoid disaster. Huang, Liang Erdi, Dahua Mianjin and others on the red boat learned this fist technique and passed it on to Liang Zan, who is practicing medicine in a Chinese medicine shop on Chopsticks Road in Foshan. Since then, Liang Zan has carried forward Wing Chun Boxing.

Statement 6: Wing Chun Boxing should be Yongchun Boxing, named after Yongchun Hall of Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian. It is a southern family boxing method that people who entered the temple in those years learned. The full name is Shaolin Yongchun, and the head coach is Shan Zhi, a disciple of Shaolin. When South Shaolin was burned, Shan Zhi fled to Foshan and once worked as a cook in the red boat of Cantonese opera. Later, people in the troupe worshipped him as a teacher because they came into contact with the loose-packed in Dongguan. Among his disciples, Su Sanniang, a Huizhou native, is Hua Dan in the troupe and is called "Yongchun Sanniang". The last three mothers passed the martial arts to Huang Huabao and Liang Erdi on the red boat, and Huang and Liang passed the martial arts to Liang Zan in Foshan, which made Yongchun Boxing flourish in Foshan.

Development and Inheritance After Huang Huabao taught Wing Chun boxing skills to his troupe friend Liang Erdao, Liang Erdao also taught his own boxing skills to Liang Zan, a native of Gulao Township, Heshan County. On the occasion of Huang Huabao's 50th birthday, Liang Erdi and his apprentice Liang Zan went to celebrate his birthday, so Liang Zan met Huang Huabao. Huang Huabao not only appreciated Liang Zan, but also accepted Liang Zan as a closed disciple.

Liang Zan (Mr Zan) has been learning Wing Chun from Hua Baoxi, and he immediately felt that Wing Chun is a superior method in terms of strength, body shape and technique. Liang Zan received a fist in Zansheng Hall from about 1870 to 1890, and rearranged what he had learned all his life. However, Liang Zan did not openly teach his disciples, and has always been practicing medicine. Because of the business of the store, he only accepted a few closed disciples and failed to teach them widely, so Wing Chun Boxing did not develop. Except for his two sons, Liang Chun and Liang Bi, only Chen Huashun can get his true biography. After Liang Zan was in his sixties, his two sons, Liang Bi and Liang Chun, both had jobs or had left Foshan, so they could not take over their father's business, so they had to transfer Zansheng Hall to others and rename it Xingjitang. Liang Zan retired and returned to Gulao Town.

Chen Huashun (South China University of Technology) often seeks funds for his career through Zansheng Hall. Because I know Liang Zan's fighting deeds in Foshan, I often peek at the door and teach myself. Finally, at the age of 39, I studied Wing Chun with 62-year-old Liang Zan. After Liang Zan's death, Chen Huashun (later 190 1) taught Wing Chun in Gangwa Store in Lianhuadi Street. However, the teaching method of Wing Chun Boxing is different from the general Shaolin Boxing. Because it needs long-term practice, the best training method needs personal teaching, so it is not allowed to teach more. Therefore, the fees in Chen Huashun are quite high, which is beyond the average person's affordability, and most of the students are your sons. At that time, it was named "Young Master Boxing", so it failed to spread widely. Chen Huashun gave boxing during 190 1~ 1907, with a total of 16 offspring. Those who can get skills are Wu, He Hanlv, Lei Ruji, his son Chen Rumian and his disciples.

When Chen Rumian was 8 years old, he began to learn Wing Chun from his father Chen Huashun. Because of the small contact and years of hard work, Chen Rumian soon had a good foundation. After his successful career, he founded a medical martial arts school in the "Chen Ancestral Hall" in Foshan Lane to teach students and treat injuries from falls. Because boxing comes from my father, there are many people seeking skills. In addition to Chen, Wing Chun masters such as Qu Kang and Zhao Jiu all came from his family. After 1932, Chen Rumian set up a museum in Wuzhou, Guangxi, and hung a plaque on the day of "Chen Pavilion in Fozhen". Later, he accepted apprentices in your county, and his boxing skills were praised. At that time, it was called "Guangdong and Guangxi Chen Rumian".

Wu He became friends because he needed to change coins at work and often gave Chen financial support. Later (190 1 year later), Wu Fu delivered the tile shop to Chen Huashun and Su Zhong and his younger brother Lv Xiaotuo to Chen Huashun. In order to thank Wu's father and take care of them, at the same time, he passed on his kung fu. They are both disciples and call Wu the second brother. Since then, Chen Huashun has officially started to work as an apprentice in the store. After several years of hard training, Wu became a real legend, and taught boxing to his younger brother Ip Man on behalf of his teacher. In the early years of the Republic of China, Wu opened a martial arts school in Gulangtou Street, mostly for rich children, such as blind cake owner He, famous doctor Li Shoupeng, Dayi hardware store Zhang Shengruo, Tang Shaodong Li Cihao, and Yingju teahouse shopkeeper Liang Fu Elementary School. At that time, Ruan Qishan, Cai Yao and Ye Wen, the famous "Three Heroes of Wing Chun" in Foshan, often went to their martial arts school to learn boxing.

Ruan Qishan loved martial arts since childhood, and his father spared no expense to hire famous martial arts masters Guo Baoquan, Feng Wei's brothers Ruan Jiyun and Ruan Qishan to teach boxing. In particular, Ruan Qishan, which was called "Foshan Ruan Lao Zha" by later generations, made great achievements. He learned how to integrate boxing scientifically, combining the techniques of wing chun gate, such as boxing, piling, knife and stick, and was praised by his disciples as "three outstanding artists of wing chun" with Ye Wen and Cai Yao. I just passed on my skills to my best friend Zhang Bao's disciple Cenneng and his registered disciple Huang Jing.

Cai Yao likes martial arts since he was a child. He learned Wing Chun Boxing under the guidance of Ruan Jiyun. After ten years of hard practice, he has achieved great success in martial arts. Later, his teacher Ruan Jiyun went to Annan (Vietnam) to teach Wing Chun. He appreciated that Yao was a good material for practicing martial arts, so he took him to Wu's martial arts school for further study. At that time, Ruan Qishan and Ye Wen often consulted the martial arts school, and the three of them often exchanged views. Guo Baoquan went to Foshan twice. In addition to Yao Qi, Cai Yao also had disciples Gao Man, Yao Xi, Huo Chao, Lin Ruibo and Wu Ri.

Ip Man was gifted when he was a child, but he was sickly. Chen Huashun, a disciple of Liang Zan, the master of Foshan Wing Chun Boxing, rented the ancestral temple of Ye Wen's family as a disciple. Because IP Man was young and frail, he was lucky enough to learn Wing Chun from Chen Huashun. Because of his cleverness and diligence, he often teaches in person, while Wu helps him and often competes with IP Man to point out the secrets of Wing Chun one by one. IP Man has made great progress in martial arts. After he died of a stroke, he worked hard with Wu for three years, and made greater progress than before, but that year was only 15. The following year, IP Man was ordered by his father to attend St. Stephen's School in Hong Kong. During the period, I got to know Liang Bi, the son of Mr. Liang Zan, and practiced Wing Chun with Liang Bi. 1949, 57-year-old Ye Wen left Foshan to settle in Hong Kong. After more than 20 years, he successively set up libraries and apprentices in Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Workers' Union, Ruzhou Street in Kowloon, Lizhengwu Village and Cai Tong Street. Ip Man enjoys high prestige in society and Wulin, and his followers are all over the society, including many foreign students. 197 1 year, Ye Wen's disciples set up Wing Chun Sports Club, which integrated wing Chun teaching, research and communication and spread wing Chun to all parts of the world. Ye's elite students come forth in large numbers, especially Bruce Lee, who has made great contributions to the world with his extraordinary China Kung Fu.

When Bruce Lee was young, he learned Wing Chun from the famous teacher Ye Wen. 65,438+08 years old, studying in the United States. After graduation, he opened the "Fan Zhen National Art Museum" in Seattle, USA, and taught China Wushu. During this period, he seriously studied and absorbed the essence of Chinese and foreign martial arts and created Jeet Kune Do. 197 1 year, he returned to Hong Kong to engage in the film and television industry, and made a number of China kung fu films that made a sensation in the world. He himself is called "forbidden kingdom", and the Foshan Wing Chun he learned in his early years is very popular all over the world.

On June 8, 20 17, the demonstration base of Wing Chun Boxing in Fujian Police College was unveiled, which marked the official entry of the national "non-legacy" project Wing Chun Boxing into Fujian Police College.

Advantages and characteristics Wing Chun Boxing is a very scientific and practical boxing method. Fast and tight defense, flexible riding, fast falling, both offensive and defensive, both offensive and defensive. Combine rigidity and flexibility, and consume less energy. Wing Chun Boxing uses "inch strength" to attack and defend, paying attention to the center line, burying the cross, chasing the shape on the face, giving consideration to the left and right, keeping the hair and cutting the punch. Its strength lies in covert combat.

The midline theory refers to the line from the top of the human head to the tail. Wing Chun requires the boxer to attack the enemy's midline along his own midline when attacking, which is the shortest distance between the enemy and ourselves. At the same boxing speed, people who are close to the boxing track must play faster. Attacking the enemy's center line, it is also difficult for the other side to unload its strength, which is also heavy. Bruce Lee, a famous martial arts star, once studied Wing Chun with Ye Wen, a master of Wing Chun. Jeet Kune Do founded by Bruce Lee is closely related to Wing Chun. Bruce Lee often knocks his opponent to the ground with one foot. This technique is related to the midline theory of Wing Chun Boxing, and it is a part of the most practical boxing theory in China Wushu system.

Wing Chun Boxing is based on the center line of the body, which makes the boxer's punching strength directly come from the large muscles of the back, in sharp contrast to those martial arts systems in which the strength comes from the muscles of the waist and arms. Wing Chun boxer's elbow is also looking for the center line of his body when he punches. When the elbow finds the center line of the body, the punch of the body and the arm in a straight line can produce unexpected power.

Face-to-face pursuit refers to face-to-face mutual pursuit. Wing Chun Boxing emphasizes facing the enemy as much as possible, which can simplify the direction of the enemy's attack and make it more elusive. At the same time, combined with the midline theory, it is easier to hit the target and make the enemy bear more power. In this way, the hand is fast and the shadow is small, so that both hands can reach the enemy at the same time, and it is easy for the left and right hands to take care of each other.

Wing Chun Boxing also has many achievements, such as not "chasing hands". "Chasing hands" refers to leaving the defensive range and chasing to contact the opposing bridge player. Wing Chun Boxing has a better feeling and reaction than bridge players, and beginners can easily make the mistake of "chasing hands". Wing Chun asked not to "rush". Wing Chun's attack and defense, ups and downs, and changes in position should be based on the principle of maintaining the center of gravity, so as not to lose the center of gravity and be unable to maintain balance with the enemy. It is also required to "defend and attack at the same time", that is, when the other party's attack is dispersed, try to attack the other party at the same time, which will change from passive to active and achieve the goal of taking the lead. In addition, there are theories of "burying the cross" and "closing it", which require that the hand cross should be close to the midline plane when shooting or defending, so as to grab the midline to achieve the shortest distance and the heaviest attack, and also to defend the midline to achieve the shortest distance; After wing chun's hand (whether attacking or defending), both hands and arms no longer accumulate strength, and the hand span bends and closes. This will not only help the same hand to attack again immediately, but also make it difficult for the enemy to hold our joints in defense and make the position closer.
