THE MYTH
Triad members celebrated their 326th Anniversary in 2000. They have every intention to continue with their tradition and plan for their first millennium further down the road.
Historians have spent decades researching the origin of the triad movement and it has been traced back to various movements dating as far back as the fifth century with the White Lotus Society.
The consensus of present day triad members refers to their origin as the movement to "overthrow the Ching Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty," thus dating it to around 1674. This was the last folklore in Chinese history where the "oppressed" Chinese people were active in the planning of overthrowing the ruling government.
It began with the monks from the Shaolin Monastery in Fujian province who were asked by the second Manchu Emperor to assist in resisting an invasion by rebels because his own army had been unsuccessful. The monks were successful in repelling the rebels; and having accomplished the aim, they declined to accept any reward and returned to their monastery. However, the Emperor realized that these monks with their martial arts skills were a threat to the Ching Dynasty. A raid on the monastery was thus organized and all but five of the monks were killed.
While escaping from the monastery, the five monks drank from a stream in which they noticed a white porcelain bowl floating on the water. They picked up the bowl and saw that there were Chinese characters inscribed on it — "overthrow the Ching, restore the Ming." They eventually found refuge in Kwang Tung province where they swore to overturn the Ching Dynasty. It was said that they made the oath at a place called the Red Flower Pavilion. While they were there, they noticed that the sunset was very red. Thus, they called themselves the brothers of Hung because they felt that red (hung) sky and Hung (the name of the first Emperor) of the Ming Dynasty was a blessing from heaven. This marked the birth of Hung Mun (Hung's Gate).
The five monks then went to different parts of China and formed five "lodges" to plan the overthrow of the Ching Dynasty. The first lodge was responsible for Fujian and Kansu provinces. The second lodge was responsible for Kwang Tung (Guangdong) and Kwang Si provinces. The third lodge was in charge of Yunan and Szechuan provinces. The fourth lodge was responsible for Hunan and Hupei provinces. The fifth lodge was responsible for Chekiang, Kiangsi and Honam provinces.
