I find it entirely unbelievable a woman invented the art considering their lack of ANYTHING at that time. They were born and married off - no time for learning kung fu. It’s completely unplausible. Or implausible.
Still makes a good kid’s story.
Obviously, you have no idea who are the Hakka.
ignorance will be ignoarance and whatdyou do ??? In lieu of real information, whatever you want to believe 'll just fine.

Btl
To look into the origins of wing chun involves also looking into the various white crane lineages. Many martial arts historians view wing chun as a sub-division of crane boxing.
A martial arts historian named 蘇瀛漢 (Su Ying Han) did a fairly in depth piece for Taiwan Wu Lin magazine a couple of years back. In that article he talks about how 梁贊 (Liang Zan, born in 1862) brought together material from both 梁博儔Liang Bo Chou (on the Wing Chun side) and 梁二娣Liang Er Di (on the White Crane side) and merged the two into the lineage which Yip Man is part of.
If you have seen, for example, Taiwanese Crane Boxing, it is apparent that there is considerable overlap between the systems of Crane Boxing and Wing Chun. There is also geographical overlap. The county of Yong Chen (aka Wing Chun) was home to a number of well known Crane Boxers as well as Wing Chun people.
Oh, and by the way, none of this has anything to do with the Southern Shaolin Temple. It really is past time for people to grow up and grow out of the Shaolin nonsense.
Take care,

Interesting. From the crane forms in Wuzuquan, I see a resemblance in the opening form where the hands push out and spin around the wrists, from a southern horse stance.
a very intresting read, i enjoyed this very much. the origins of Wing Chun maybe lost , but the stories will hold true, and we should always learn from history.
interesting
