In The Sword, the Red Flower Club was the largest Jianghu organization at that time (during the Qianlong period). The biggest gang in The Duke Of Mount Deer is the Heaven and Earth Society.
The question is: why didn't the word heaven and earth meet be mentioned in the book Sword? Is it true that the Heaven-Earth Society, which was all the rage during the reign of Kangxi, disappeared in the reign of Qianlong, and the flowers and fruits withered, like a spring dream, without a trace?
History: 14, the Heaven and Earth Society met in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, presided over by Su. Its organization is called "Triad", with heaven as the father, earth as the mother and sun and moon as sisters. It organized a triad army and captured many famous cities, which shocked seven southeast provinces. Heaven and earth will continue to gain prestige in the Qianlong dynasty, but not here. Since then, it has spread branches and leaves and developed into a green red gang. Today, the Zhi Gong Dang among the eight so-called "democratic parties", formerly known as Zhi Gong Tang, still inherits the incense of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the specifications of Zhi Gong Tang are roughly equivalent to Wei Xiaobao's Aoki Hall in Luding.
Then, why do you only see "red flowers" but not "heaven and earth" in Book Sword?
In fact, the Red Flower Festival is unfounded in history and comes from the fiction of novelists. However, the Red Flower Festival written by Jin Yong never came out of thin air. He must have a prototype in his mind, and it can't be completely created.
The founder of the Red Flower Club in The Sword studied at Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian. Later, the Qing court was dissatisfied with the rebellion funded by the South Shaolin Temple and burned it.
This fire was really lit in the Qing Dynasty, but Jin Yong dragged it on for decades. Of course, it has nothing to do with the Red Flower Festival, but it has something to do with heaven and earth.
The duke of mount deer. In the eighth session, Li Lishi was three new incense owners who joined the Wei Xiaobao Promotion Conference, namely: Cai Dezhong, the incense owner of Lotus Hall; Fang Dahong, the incense owner of Hongshuntang; There is also Ma Chaoxing, the incense owner of Jiahoutang. Wei Xiaobao, of course, is a fake, and there is no such person in history, but these three people are real, and they are quite important figures in the history of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Around Shunzhi 18, Cai Dezhong/Ma/Ma Chaoxing/Hu Dedi/Li was sent to Putian, Fujian Province to become a monk and learn from abbot Zhitong. These five people are the' first five ancestors' of Hong Men, a descendant of the Heaven and Earth Society. Lu Gong/Li did not show up, but on page 282, Cai Dezhong introduced the history of the Heaven and Earth Society: "The founder of the Heaven and Earth Society, formerly known as Zheng, made outstanding contributions. . . . . Me and Brother Fang/Brother Marco/Brother Hu/Li Ge. . . . . They are all captains and soldiers in the army of the country. " We can conclude that the Hu brothers he mentioned are Hu Dedi and the Li brothers are Li Shikai.
Since then, the Qing court sent troops to besiege South Shaolin and set it on fire. Only 18 monk escaped, and the above five people were among them.
The robbery linked the fictional Red Flower Club with the real World Club.
In addition,' safflower' and' heaven and earth society' have a deep relationship. On July 25th, Yongzheng 12, Chen Jinnan made an alliance with incense in Honghua Pavilion. Since then, Hong Men has taken' Honghua Pavilion' as the place where brothers were born, and' Union Day' as the date when brothers were born. Until the Republic of China, there was a' Red Flower Pavilion' in Kaixiang Hall and Daxiang Hall in Hong Men, which was in the middle of establishing the throne of Emperor Guan and supporting his ancestors.
