Terminology

The Chinese language has hundreds of dialects. Some are so different they are like seperate launguages. Though they all read the same characters. Most westerners are exposed to Mandarin or Cantonese.

Kung Fu is Mandarin for Gung Fu. So Wing Chun Kung Fu is a mixture of two dialects. Wing Chun is Cantonese, so Wing Chun Gung Fu is correct in Cantonese. Yung Chun Kung Fu is correct in Mandarin.

We will use Kung Fu here because most people world wide are familiar with "Kung Fu". Kung fu/gung fu means any acquired skill. A doctor, lawyer or a carpenter is doing kung fu. The proper term for the martial arts in Chinese is Wu Shu or Mo Sut.

Chi, or Qi is Mandarin for Hei in Cantonese. Chi will be used because of it's familiarity.
