The Chinese Classics help the Wing Chun warrior to see how the principles of Wing Chun can be used to create. They stem the tide of destruction. They turn Wing Chun from an arid, hostile plain capable only of destruction into a thriving roiling sea, capable of great power and yet sustaining even greater life. Without the Classics and the ability to create with Wing Chun principles, the power of Wing Chun can only consume. But, coupled with the Classics the principles learned in combat can turn a fighter into a warrior and lead the warrior to become a sage.

NOTE:
We have or are currently collecting all the Classics in electronic form. We are currently working on including the Spring and Autumn Classic, and the Book of Poems. The I-Ching is too large to include as an electronic book, however you can get a copy at your local book store, try to get a James Legge copy, or search Barnes and Noble Book Store for your personal copy of the Classics.
