Private Lineage stories are not history. Characters are added and removed, while other character relationships are altered. Not to mention that most lineages are a marketing tool, tilted to who-ever is being marketed. If you want to get a snapshot of the 'bigger' picture, you have to look into broader sources. Which is why we are going to look into the environment that Yip Man was walking into when he started his professional career in Southern China in 1950. **Spoiler Alert** This will fly in the face of some common lineage stories. https://kungfupodcasts.com/young-wing-chun-professional-in-1950/
