Nowadays, students study, especially college students, in addition to the original learning tasks, will also join various clubs in the school, cultivate their own interests and hobbies, the positioning of China's civil society in history, the original is almost the same, but can not stand a few special cattle organizations, the power is so large, even the emperor sees them have a headache, today we will introduce the most mysterious 3 major civil organizations in China.
The first is Manichaeism. This name is estimated that many people have not heard of it, so let's change a more popular way of saying, Mingjiao, is this understood? This mysterious sect that can carry the Six Gate Sect in Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" is not just a setting in the novel, but has really existed.
Manichaeism, derived from Persian Zoroastrianism, Chinese known as Zoroastrianism or Xiān, was the most influential sect in East Asia before the birth of Christianity and the state religion of the Persian Empire. With the territorial expansion of the Persian Empire and the economic exchanges on the Silk Road, persian religious culture gradually spread to China, and it is first believed that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, There was a Manichaean figure in China.
Manichaeism is not the same as Buddhism or Taoism, which is a more aggressive religion, because the brainwashing ability is too strong, since the Tang Dynasty, basically successive dynasties and regimes have banned the spread of Manichaeism. But if Manichaeism were so good and forbidden, how would Zhu Yuanzhang have made a fortune?
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, social turmoil, Manichaeism, Maitreya, White Lotus And other sects developed and merged rapidly, which eventually led to the Red Turban Rebellion, with the slogan of "Maitreya was born, the Ming King was born", which swept through the Central Plains, and Zhu Yuanzhang rose through the power of the Ming Sect. It is just that Zhu Yuanzhang is even the terrible thing about Manichaeism, after he became emperor, he used the excuse of avoiding the word "Ming" as an excuse to vigorously suppress Manichaeism, and Manichaeism fell silent until then.
The second is Hongmen. Compared with Manichaeism, the existence history of Hongmen is relatively short, and it is generally believed that it originated from some organizations that arose within the Southern Ming Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs. Once it spread, it spread to the whole country and even overseas, and even the White Lotus Sect was absorbed. Nowadays, it is generally believed that non-governmental organizations such as the Heaven and Earth Society, the Boxer Rebellion, and even the Qing gang are all branches of Hongmen.
Hongmen forces are now all over the world, overseas Chinese gathering places are basically classified into the Hongmen forces, even Mr. Sun, who launched the Xinhai Revolution, is also a Hongmen zhongren, and Mr. Situ Meitang, an overseas Chinese who raised a large number of overseas donations during the War of Resistance Against Japan and actively assisted The cause of China's War of Resistance, is also one of the leaders of Hongmen.
The third organization that few people mention now, but it can be said that it is the organization that the emperor has not recruited the most, that is, the Mo family. The Mo family is one of the hundred sons of the family, the founder is Mo Zhai, which has been more than 2,000 years. However, unlike the Confucians, Taoists, etc., which propagate through lobbying, there is a strict organizational system within the Mo family, the leader is called "giant (matrix)", and the other members are "ink people", who must obey the command of the "giant", and if there is a betrayer, they will be hunted down and killed by the entire organization.
The Mo family has a deep attainment in the art of the organs, but what bothers the emperor is not this, but their political ideas, the central idea of the Mo family is mainly "love, non-attack, thrift, ghost, tianzhi", translated as the character of everyone, etc., love each other, oppose aggressive wars, promote the idea of economy, extravagance and waste are shameful, do not feudal superstition, and conform to natural development.
If these propositions were put into perspective for now, they would all be golden words; but for the ancient emperors, each one was a slap in the face. Who started the war? Emperor; who is the most wasteful person in general? Emperor; who is the most unequal recipient of privileges? Emperor; who is the favorite to engage in the theory of the divine right of kings? Or the Emperor.
It is no wonder that the emperors of all dynasties have suppressed the Mo family, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the people that the Mo family thought re-entered people's vision, providing a certain reference for modern thought.
