Firehawk,
More than likely Jee Shim would have taught in the weng chun tong and not the Dien.

Just to add a little to Cang Long's post.

The term "Dien" refers to the biggest and grandest of halls. The best analogy is, in the big resorts and hotels you will find only one Grand Ballroom. This would be equivilent to "Dien". The other meeting rooms are smaller and serve different purposes. They are equivilent to "Tong". In the Shoalin Temple the Weng Chun Tong was one of many training halls. So the term "Tong" is appropriate rather than the term "Dien".

The information comes from the book Complete Wing Chun so they are the ones calling it Wing Chun Dien but i guess it should be Wing Chun Tong .
