The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.
"Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."
"Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."
"Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"

Wing Chun had it's beginnings on the Red Boat circuit. They had to deal with bandits and river pirates a lot. They carried lots of goods and valuables with them as well as their equipment and stores, and they had to protect them. Wing Chun is a close combat system that can be applied in small spaces like the entrance and passage ways of a junk. The deck and gang planks as well. You can't do all that jumping around and swinging in such close areas. The pole that was used to push the junk about in shallow water was also used to fight off anyone that would try to board the junk. Much later it was adopted by the armies because it could be taught and retained quickly and efficiently. It is an effective fighting system. My father told me that he learned Wing Chun from ex army guys.

Someone thought "hey I think I should make a style that in four hundred years people from all over the world can argue about what a tan sao is"

My 2 cents...
Nobody knows why or how VT evloved. It's all pure specualtion and myth. What we do know is that it was passed down in small groups and secret societies. Those small groups ended in the time of Bruce Lee and the system has since become one of the most popular systems of Chinese Gung Fu in the world............but the most misunderstood.
The problem with Ving Tsun is the system itself. There are so many facets to the it that if taught incorrectly or misinterpreted by even one person it can change the whole wheel.
Better not to think about the past! Nobody can be sure unless you are a dreamer.

IMHO, the main reason for WC's creation is no different from that of other kung fu styles in that it is another efficient methodology for combat and self defense.
The other reason for Wing Chun's creation, hundreds of years ago, was to provide the future modern MMA-ists who have nothing better to do with their lives, something to badmouth!

The actual origin of VT is probably shrouded in the mists of time.

WC was created for fighting.
The way we fight was a necessity of living on boats if you believe the opera version, or because south china is heavily populated so big flashy movements are decremental to efficiency when you fight inside big mobs

I believe Wing Chun was created b/c they didn't have bowling alleys yet!
