The Green Gang is a historic Green Gang in the entire Chinese country, with a history of more than 300 years.

Because most of the members of the Green Gang at that time were workers on the river transport or related occupations, there were many people who joined the Green Gang in the north and south of the river.

The Green Gang was once one of the most popular and far-reaching folk secret societies in the Qing Dynasty of China.

At that time, in order to better smooth the river transportation road of grain, the ruling class issued an imperial list to recruit the people to build a water transportation grain road, and at this time the Green Gang came into being!

At that time, in Hangzhou, Huaxia Kingdom, there were three friends with different surnames Kunzhong who were willing to accept this appointment and became brothers with different surnames.

These three are divided according to their age, the oldest surnamed Weng Yan, is a talented person, who later abandoned literature and martial arts, studied art in Shaolin Temple, and later joined the Tiandihui, which was a non-governmental organization against the ruling class at that time; The second oldest surnamed Qian Jian, who was originally a businessman, later followed Weng Yan to join the Heaven and Earth Society; The youngest is called Pan Qing.

Moreover, the three ancestors of the Qinggang were all disciples under the Luo Zu Sect at that time, in addition, the boss Weng Yan came from the Shaolin Temple, and the Luo Zu Sect originally originated from the Zen Shaolin Temple, in order to trace the origin, so the Qing Gang also worshiped the Zen Dharma Patriarch to the six ancestors Huineng, both preaching and preaching Zen, and establishing a gang with religion.

After the three patriarchs of the Qinggang unveiled the emperor's list, they created their own gang of grain transportation, waterway grain transportation is mainly to Tongzhou to Hangzhou this voyage, the construction of seventy-two and a half wharves, set up one hundred and twenty-eight gang and a half, and the so-called half wharf, refers to the wharf for small trading of groceries in the north and south.

Although the Green Gang was created by Weng Yan, Qian Jian, and Pan Qing, but at the beginning of its establishment, Weng Yan and Qian Jian, the two ancestors of the Green Gang, passed away one after another, and Pan Qing supported the power of the Green Gang, and then worked with the disciples of the Green Gang to formulate family rules and regulations, after all, there are no rules and no square circle, not to mention the large number of people in the Green Gang at that time, if there is no perfect management system, it is not conducive to the development of the entire Green Gang, so it is very important to persuade the members of the Green Gang to pay attention to the cultivation of morality, just like that, Relying on these gang rules and family laws of the Green Gang, a group of market boatmen will be governed in an orderly manner.

In order to better inherit the Green Gang, the system of apprentices with apprentices is emphasized in the Green Gang, and the size of the middle generation of the gang is arranged by words, Yan Ran is like a big family, and the family temple ancestral hall has been set up, all those who join the Green Gang, no matter what your previous surname is, once you join the Green Gang, you will be the descendants of the Pan family in the future, so it is not just a frame into the Green Gang, but equivalent to entering the family.

The biggest difference between the Green Gang and other organizations at that time is that once you are ranked by seniority, then if you worship the elders of the previous generation as your teacher, then the people who are of the same generation as your master are your masters, and the disciples of the same generation will also be the disciples of the previous generation, so no matter what generation you are in, you will have a good relationship with your brother or uncle, so that the entire Green Gang is extraordinarily united, which is incomparable to other gangs.

Therefore, in the Qing Gang at that time, no matter which patriarch's closed disciple or an ordinary disciple opened the door to collect, you would have a high status in the Gang, because you have been recognized in terms of seniority, and for the Qing Gang, the first gang rule that cannot be violated is to bully the teacher and destroy the ancestor.

At that time, the main ten gang rules of the Qing Gang: first, it was not allowed to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, second, it was not allowed to despise the predecessors, third, it was not allowed to lift the sluice gate and release water, fourth, it was not allowed to divert water to replace fiber, fifth, it was not allowed to mess with the rivers and lakes, sixth, it was not allowed to disturb the gang rules, seventh, it was not allowed to pick up ashes and steal, eighth, it was forbidden to commit adultery, theft and adultery, nineth, it was not allowed to disrespect the size, and tenth, it was not allowed to collect people on behalf of the hair.

The meaning of the first, second, and ninth articles is actually to emphasize the setting of seniority in the gang, which shows that the issue of ethical seniority occupies an important position in the development process of the Qinggang.

Generally speaking, if you want to enter the Green Gang, students must first worship the post, and write down their family background, occupation and name and birth date in detail, and then open an incense hall in the gang.

At this time, you are only equivalent to completing the process of apprenticeship and becoming a registered disciple of the master, as for whether the master wants to officially accept you as an apprentice and become a real disciple in the door, you also need to be assessed more strictly, so the master will be diligent in the assessment within three years after you become a named disciple, this stage is called the master visiting the apprentice for three years, and after three years, the student must visit the master diligently for three years, so that the master can assess whether he is really determined to enter the green gang, this stage is called the apprentice visiting the master for three years, after six years of testing, After determining the student's determination and character, the master will begin to teach him the basic rituals, and after a year of study and passing the examination, then the master will choose a good day and open an incense hall for the student to be promoted to Xiaoxiang, at which time he will become an official descendant of the Pan family, that is, an official disciple of the Qinggang.

After becoming Xiaoxiang, he began to learn some ways to behave in the world, but also to know how to advance and retreat, and to learn other things in the Green Gang.

After three years of assessment in the Xiaoxiang stage, the master will consider whether the student's learning direction is correct, whether he is loyal to his family, and whether it is appropriate to deal with the advance and retreat, if all the conditions are met, then he will apply for the opening of the Daxiang Hall, and choose an auspicious day to help the student be promoted to the position of Daxiang, and the disciples of the Daxiang stage can be called the reserve master, they not only have to have the skills and knowledge that Xiaoxiang has learned, but also learn how to lead the people and preach the Dharma.

When the Master thinks that this Daxiang disciple has enough ability to lead the people, he will follow the same procedure to open the Dharma Incense Hall, and grant the younger brother three locks, three keys and a six-character mantra, and from then on, the disciple can take charge of the sect alone, continue the incense of the patriarch, accept the disciple to lead the help, no matter what the character of the class, when he sees the Dharma Master, even if it is a junior, he will no longer call his younger brother or disciple grandson by his generation, but call him the master.

This is the respect for those who can take the lead in the gang and continue the incense.

The people in the Green Gang come from all over the world, and if they want to know whether they are their own brothers, they must confirm through the Pandao Strip, which is the same reason that the soldiers and guards shout for the password.

There will be such a rule, mainly to avoid letting outsiders know too many secrets of the gang.

In addition to being able to strictly guard the secrets of the gang and not leak them to others, it can also be used as a confirmation work before the exchange of information when the situation is unstable in troubled times.

As for the Pandao strips, they all need to be passed on by their father, and they cannot be leaked, and they have always been classified as secrets in the Green Gang.

In the Green Gang, filial piety and respect for the elders is what every disciple must do, who once there is a deception of the teacher and the ancestors or disrespect to the elders, they will be severely punished, the light will be punished, the heavy is fatal, on the surface it is respect for the elders, in fact, it means more to let the people who join the Green Gang be loyal to the gang, just like the imperial rule of the feudal society, your allegiance to the emperor is loyalty to the country, you rebel against the emperor, is the same as the whole country, in the Green Gang you are disrespectful to the elders is disrespectful to the Green Gang, In this way, the management of the gang leaders of the Qing Gang over the disciples of the gang was deepened.

But with the death of the ancestors of the Green Gang one by one, coupled with the historical development, the changes in the environment, the thriving water transportation grain road has long since ceased to be the grand occasion of the year, of course, there must be a reason why the Green Gang itself did not have a better development, the seventy-two and a half wharves built during the prosperous period, and the one hundred and twenty-eight and a half gangs set up were even more left later, and even many people lost their jobs and had no livelihood, and many disciples in the Green Gang had to find another way out, so many people moved from the river to the land.

Since the Green Gang moved from river transportation to land, first of all, due to the change in the working environment, coupled with the different ways of working, many disciples in the Green Gang do not have suitable jobs to engage in, so it seems that there are more and more disciples of the Green Gang, and they also need to make money to support their families, so many people choose to engage in some illegal industries.

In addition, with the development of the Green Gang, not many people strictly accept disciples, but widely accept disciples, so the result will inevitably lead to the disciples in the Qing Gang will be uneven, and there will be everything, and gradually many people in those gang rules will not abide by it.

Because many people later joined the Green Gang in order to use the influence of the Green Gang to bring personal benefits to themselves, so there were more and more inferior elements in the Green Gang, and even more did not meet the qualifications to accept apprentices at all.

Later, because of the war, many of the Green Gang disciples were gradually distributed all over the country, but the large distribution of the Green Gang disciples still stayed in the Jiangnan area, after all, it was the foundation of the Green Gang, and many of the Green Gang predecessors already had their own forces on land, and most of them were in Shanghai.

Because most of the disciples of the Green Gang entered the Shanghai Stock Exchange at that time and engaged in various industries, 80 percent of the workers in the Shanghai Market at that time belonged to the secret society, and the Green Gang accounted for the largest proportion.

With the later development, the people in the Green Gang paid more attention to their personal interests, especially many bad conduct and high seniority of the Green Gang bosses began to engage in some gray industries to satisfy their expanding material desires, and gradually the Green Gang embarked on another road, and this road is obviously contrary to the will of the ancestor who founded the Green Gang.
