In the novel, Chen Jinnan is the founder and chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society (Hong Men), so is Chen Yonghua really the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society in history?
Heaven and earth will? Also known as three-point meeting, underworld, knife meeting and so on. Collective? Hong Men? It is an important private secret association organization in Qing Dynasty, widely spread in Chinese communities in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Taiwan Province. According to statistics, there are more than 60 million Hong Men disciples at home and abroad.
Since the Heaven and Earth Society is a secret association, it is doomed that it is difficult to trace its origin in official records. However, there are many important documents in the Heaven and Earth Society, among which Shu Hui is the general name of the important documents in the Heaven and Earth Society. And Chen Jinnan's name mainly appears in the books of Heaven and Earth Society? Legend of Xilu? .
But will the primitive heaven and earth be in the book? Legend of Xilu? Never seen his name. I just mentioned it from the beginning of the document "Shouxiange Zang Tian Di Hui". Among them, the preface to the west record says: Later, a monk, Chen Jinnan, mentioned the Ming Dynasty, and his brothers addressed him as a gentleman. ?
Poetry in the South says: Heaven can make a man, and arrange gossip to fix Kun. ?
The poem "The Book of Divided Blood" says:? It is said that Prince Zhu committed suicide in Baikou Cave, but Mr. Zhu disappeared. Later, he heard that a bridge was built in Fujian Province to open the Expo. According to the regulations of the Five Ancestors, the Five Ancestors are regarded as grand dukes and become sworn brothers, apprentices and brothers in Taoyuan. They saw the light again and settled in the Central Plains. ?
As can be seen from these records, Chen Jinnan was responsible for formulating and teaching rules and etiquette in the heaven and earth society, and may also be engaged in clerical writing and other affairs.
The main content of "Legend of the West Foot" is to describe that during the reign of Kangxi, the southern Shaolin monks in Fujian made contributions in resisting the invasion of the West Foot, and as a result, the Qing emperor sent troops to burn the temple. Most monks died tragically, but only five survived. These five people are Cai Deying (or Cai Dezhong), Ma Chaoxing (or Ma Zhaoxing), Fang Dacheng (or Fang Dahong), Hu Dedi and Li Shikai (or. Five ancestors in front of Hongmen? ; They fled to Shicheng County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, met with Wan Yunlong and formed an alliance, thus the Heaven and Earth Society was born.
The content of the legend of Xilu is relatively simple, but with the continuous growth of the organization of the heaven and earth society, the content of this legend has gradually expanded and various characters have gradually enriched. At the same time, there have been different versions, which have been shrouded in mystery. Therefore, this legend is often regarded as a historical record of the creation and development of the Heaven and Earth Society.
In the later book Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Jinnan is a very plump figure. He is knowledgeable, well-behaved and well-known? Anti-clearing and regaining sight? Ambition is the actual organizer of heaven and earth. Leader of anti-Qing armed uprising.
However, what is the academic concern? Legend of Xilu? There is a great divergence of views. Some people think that the so-called. Legend of Xilu? This is a fictional myth and legend, not a historical fact. Up to now, no one can tell the origin of the heaven and earth society itself. Not only is the truth of its origin and founder unknown, but even its legendary mythological background is puzzling. ?
However, some people think that the truth that the legend of Xilu is the foundation of heaven and earth is cleverly hidden in a fictional myth and legend, so that it can be passed down to future generations and not known to outsiders. Therefore, we should not simply regard this legend as the history of the origin of heaven and earth, but find the hidden historical truth through this fictional fairy tale.
And this historical truth is still a fog.
Whether Chen Jinnan exists or not, and what is his relationship with Chen Yonghua in Taiwan Province Province, are very different. As for the origin and founder of the heaven and earth society, it is even more unclear. ........
