	The History of Wing Chun
		This event is known in Hung Fa Yi Kuen as a milestone in Chinese Jung Fu because not only did he bring martial arts to Southern Shaolin (according to their lore), but he also bridged the gap between Northern Shaolin and Southern Shaolin.
		After the destruction of the Shaolin Temple and its Wing Chun Tong, the character of Wing used for this new art was changed from Wing meaning always, perpetual, or everlasting to Wing meaning to recite, sing, praise, or chant.
		The name "Hung Fa Yi " was used in reverence, as was the name the "Hung Fa Wui Goon" chosen by Tan Sao Ng, to remind the Wing Chun descendants of the direct connection from the Hung Fa Ting and the Hung Fa Wui than was established in Southern Shaolin.
