If we are studying the WCK history, you may
find a lot of legends about the creation of wck, the
transmission of wck, the existence of the
people around.... and etc. Today, wck is
becoming commericialized and more and more legends and people coming out. Which are truth an which are fake, hard to
know. How to identify it ? Of course, we
need put time to collect information and to study it.
To study history, we need to know what's
happening in the past. Today, wck no any
documentary to saying the its own history, mostly verbally. How do we find out the fact, at least we
need to have some solid information today, then we can trace back to more and
more decades ago, even the origin.
I observe one key point today wck
researchers are missing to the civilized culture and the political culture in
each generation. Today, we realised WCK
from redboat, but no people today relating wck with the Tai Ping Heavenly
Kingdom. Why the redboat being fired ?
Why chinese opera being banned from 1855-1870?
How the redboat people survive in this period ? Why there are different
pseudo stories and pseduo names coming out ? How come the wck can be
transmissed in the situations ? Why some
lineages need to be hid ? Why some other
lineage could open to teach ? Who is
hiding ? Who open to teach ? Why? and How ? More,
today people intrepete the kuen kuit from today Chinese view, not from the
ancient view. Of course, a lot of
differece meaning coming out. As a good
researcher, if really like to study the wck history, we need to study and
analyse the collecting information based on what the culture at that moment
is. In the southern part of the China
from 1800-1911, it was totally chaos because internal conflicts, a lot of
uprisings and revolution and the external attacks by foreign countries forcing
china to open the market for them.
Today, as you read the wck histories in the
community, most only describe how this wck hero is and who that wck heroes
are. However, no one realize how the
southern part of China was in that period.
Nothing more, they just concentrated on how good the arts is. Does it mean they know wck history?
Honestly, how many years you spend on the
studying, collecting information, going through the history in GuangDong at
that period, knowing the china culture at that moment, how many different
dialects in the South China, how the transmission of kung fu in that period,
people literate or not. Any
mis-understanding on different dialects via verbal transmission....... How many of you can do that ?
I stopped discussing scwc history openly
because, people always why, how, and where the source from. I had issued a lot of papers about scwc in
the last 7 years on the magazines, all collected and put on the slideshare.net,
people just like to simply ask and never going through the papers before asking
even I refer them to read. Honestly,
100 of you coming, then I need to write 100 times.
My paper on "Investigation of some
forgotton Wing Chun Kuen history" has been issued in early 2014 and was
totally validated by the Foshan Wushu History Research Centre and the Foshan
WCK Oral History Research Centre. They
spend time to investigate, site visit the whole Foshan and down to Vietnam to
get the son of Yuen Chai Wen to proof my paper.
Then last year, sending their people down to Hong Kong to interview me,
and inviting me to visit our root of Snake Crane Wing Chun with the China
media, Foshan TV, and finally broadcasting in the China National TV CCTV4.
Honestly, the Foshan Mr. Tang Kwong Man, he
is the chief government Wushu expert in Foshan, and he discovered Leung Jan
exclusive picture in Leung Jan old house, sent people to turn the whole Foshan
bottom-up to find SCWC root, and sending people to Vietnam to get more SCWC
with YKS family. He collected a bundle
of real information about my third generation Law Tiu Wen and all getting
proofed.
He is going to record SCWC to his
government subsidized book "GuangDong Wushu History". Can you do that if you are really a
researcher, not gossiping?
My Investigation scwc history paper, from
different point of views, reading a lot of history book, collecting information
from Hung Mun, analyzing the Chinese characters meaning in our ancient note written
by Law......., I spent over 20 years to come out. How many years and what you
have done.
As what I mentioned above, I won't like to
open to struggle any your history or my SCWC history. I won't response anything and really get
tired on arguing.
