4 girls, somehow connected to different southern martial arts (Wingcheun 詠春/;永春, Hung Kyun, Fukgin white crane... ), all usually watching cranes and making up a gungfu style based upon their moves:

- Fong Wingcheun
- Fong Chatneung
- Wingcheun saam neung (Third lady of Wingcheun)
- Yim Wingcheun

well, now the question is: how many persons really are their? different names for same person? how does Ng Mui or Immortal White Crane fit in? anybody? i have been researching this topic for couple of days, and well, my head is already spinning.

Fong Chatyeung was from Wing Chun county, so I believe she is also Fong Wing Chun.

Yim Wing Chun is probably the Cantonese version of the Fujian tale about Fong Qi Niang - aka Fong Wing Chun, after 300 years of retelling the story.

Weng Chun Saam Neung is probably another author's mistake....

hello Robert, thank you for your input

Wingcheun Saam Neung is still quite a popular story in the Southern China: Nun who has taught Hung Heigun the crane technique
