Wing Chun, a martial art from southern China, emerged long ago throughout the provinces of Guangdong and Fujian. The style was first conceived by Yan San Niang, who is thought to have named the martial art after her native Yong Chun County in Fujian. The name may also have come from a person surnamed Yan with the given name Yong Chun. In the local dialect, "Yong Chun" is pronounced "Wing Chun".
