不知道有多少在台灣的詠春拳練習者曾讀過上面詠春體育會的詠春祖訓。可能大部分練習者甚至聽都沒有聽過詠春祖訓。聽說以上的詠春祖訓是葉問宗師親傳的。好像有另外一個說法是詠春祖訓其實是由葉問宗師的好友李民所執筆的。在美國有些詠春拳館要求學生要熟記英文版的詠春祖訓，甚至有的還需要考試。當學生時，我也背過英文版的詠春祖訓。但有多少外國人真正認同並遵守詠春祖訓就無從得知了。無論如何，外國人學習詠春拳時能同時多少了解中華文化仍是一件好事。我們『台北詠春拳』亦有自己的一套的學員守則;雖然我們的學生不需要背誦也不用考試，但我們要求學生確實地遵守這些規則。學員守則原來的構想是為了保有一個良好的練拳環境。它也反映了我們的價值觀。有意想和我們的學習詠春拳的人，請先閱讀這些守則看看是否能夠認同和能遵守。這將會為雙方節省許多寶貴時間。人說「明師難尋」，對我來說好徒弟也是難得。我不年輕了且健康狀況也不如以往，所以我選擇學生的態度也變得更加謹慎。因為想把有限的時間和精力專注在對的學生上。

I am wondering how many Wing Chun/Ving Tsun practitioners in
Taiwan have read above Ving Tsun Athletic Association Codes, a.k.a, Ip Man
Codes of Conduct before. I bet majority
of them haven't even heard of it. Some
say the Ving Tsun Athletic Association Codes, a.k.a, Ip Man Codes of Conduct
were passed down by Grandmaster himself.
But, I also heard the Codes were written by one of Ip Man’s good friends
who was really good at writing. I know
some Wing Chun schools in the U.S. have their students memorize the English version
of the Codes and some even have a test on it.
I don’t know how many of those Wing Chun practitioners really agree with
and abide the Codes. However, for
nothing else, it is not a bad thing for practitioners of Wing Chun to have a
taste of the Chinese culture. We here at
“Taipei Wing Chun” also has a set of codes; although we don’t require students
to memorize them nor do we have a quiz, that our students need to abide
to. The original idea to have a set of our
own codes was to make sure we have a good learning and practicing environment
for our student. It also reflects our
value system. For people who are
thinking of joining our Wing Chun class, please read the codes first to see
whether you agree or not before making any inquires. This would save precious time for all of us. I am not young any more and my health is not
as good as before, therefore my attitude of choosing the right students has
become more cautious and selective. I
want to focus my time and energy on the right students.
“Taipei Wing Chun” School Codes
1.
Be respectful to the school, classmates and yourselves.
2.
Train hard.
3.
Watch out for your classmates' and your own safety during training.
4.
Only use your Wing Chun for the right purposes such as self-defense and
protecting loved ones. Abstain from
using the Art in pointless fights or unlawful conducts.
5.
There would always be someone better, so be humble and not to publically talk
bad things about other schools or styles; especially on Internet.
6.
Students should respect each other and to maintain a harmonious training
environment together.
7.
When a new person joins the school, there is 3-month probation period, only
when this new person passes the probation he or she can become a student of the
school.
8.
Students who miss classes continuously for over two months will loss his or her
student status automatically, i.e., this person will not longer be a member of
the School. Any former students who want
to re-join the class will have to re-apply for admission. Coach will evaluate case by case to approve
or disapprove the application.
9.
In the event of a serious violation of above Codes, the student will be
expelled immediately and/or will never be allowed to return the School.

我看，葉問的詠春祖訓跟基督教的十誡在某些地方有點兒過時，不過還是合乎人類的一般感受。因此，為甚麼不讓詠春拳徒弟背當地語言版本的祖訓呢？很高興在此能看到的中文版本好像是佛山的葉問堂石碑上的原文。在西方，很多詠春拳舘蠻得意地發布詠春祖訓的中文版或中英、中德、中法文等版本。不過，這些在國外非常普遍流傳的版本在中文部分大多有點奇怪。我猜想，該版本的創作者是看錯或誤會了某些漢字的西方人。最能夠鞏固我的理論是第九行：「繼先續謹持組訓」在西方普遍流傳的版本裡變成了「繼光續漢持組訓」。光緒是溥儀之前倒數第二清朝皇帝，漢持更不成意。
ReplyDeleteI think that Ip Man's Wing Chun Code of Conduct such as the Ten Commandments of Christianity may be outdated here and there, netherless most of the rules match human commmon sense. So why not let the Wing Chun students learn the rules in their own language. I'm very happy to see a Chinese version of the Code of Conduct which seems to be the same as the original engraved on a stone tablet in the Ip Man Memorial Hall in Foshan. In the west, a lot of Wing Chun schools are proud to present a Chinese English oder Chinese German, Chinese French... version with some strange Chinese wording. My guess is that the initiator of this very widespread western Chinese version has misread or misinterpreted some of the charancters. Best example for my theory is the last line: The Chinese text seen above says: "Carry on the ancestral heritage, take care to hold up or maintain the teachings of the elders." The widespread western Chinese version says: "Carry or continue Emperor Guangxu, Han (Chinese) hold or maintain the teachings of the elders."
不知有什麼來源，不過我發現連亞洲的詠春拳館有的刊出的詠春祖訓有一點奇怪：6. 學養氣救濫鬥民 (應該是戒濫鬥爭)。7. 常處世態度溫民 (該是態度溫文)。9. (最離譜) 繼光緒漢持祖訓 (該是繼先緒謹持祖訓)。
DeleteI don't know the original source but I found out that even far Eastern Wing Chun schools use some a version if the Ancestral Rules with some strange lines. The strangest line is rule no. 9, where the text says something like "Inherit (Emperor) Guangxu's Han (???) uphold the ancestral rules". The second character is supposed to be 先， 先緒 meaning the ancestral heritage, followed by 謹持 meaning sincerely upholding...
