Did there really be a beggar gang in history?

In Chinese history, there were beggars. The beggar gang was formed in the Song Dynasty. The beggars of the Song Dynasty were generally centered on the famous capital of Dacheng and the market town, and they had not yet formed a national organization, and most of them had obvious regional group characteristics, which was roughly the same in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

As for the emergence of a large number of beggars and showing a trend of rapid development, that was in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and even in modern times.

There are beggars in Chinese history, of course, the beggar gang leader did not beat the dog stick, nor did he know how to descend the dragon eighteen palms, but the beggar gang is actually very powerful, the following is an excerpt from the mainland scholar Mr. Zhou Dejun's "History of Beggars".

The Song Dynasty did have the activities of the beggar gang, in the city at that time, especially in the Tongdu Dayi, as the leader of the beggar gang and the symbol of the gang leader - the name of the "group head" has appeared, the Song and Yuan Dynasty scripts and barnyard records ** see more "group head" one, the most typical is the "ancient wonders" in the "Jin Yu slave stick beat Bo Qinglang" section of the record: in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty in the city of Hangzhou, there was a hereditary seven generations of beggar gang leader - "Tuan Tou Jin Boss". He governed the beggars in Jincheng, Hangzhou, collected their money, and took care of the beggars' lives.

Since there is a gang leader, of course there is a gang of beggars. Therefore, there is no doubt that the beggar gang was formed in the Song and Song dynasties. The study of social history further shows that the formation and development of beggar gangs is roughly the same as the development process of secret societies in ancient China, that is, most of them were formed in the Song and Song dynasties, developed in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

There must be, but I definitely don't want to be so powerful as written, that is, I can deal with the kind of people who have three-legged cat kung fu, and if I really encounter some powerful people, I can only escape, and there are also some throughout China, but it is difficult to stop it, and it cannot be managed in a unified way!

Yes, yes, there must be, the beggars can only be regarded as a group. Now there are beggars, but they are professional beggars.

Yes, it's just that the organization is different in each era.

There are beggars to form a group of a certain scale, begging for a living together, it is better to unite, but it is unlikely that the beggar gang is all over the country as described in **, after all, most of the beggars have no culture, and there is not enough material foundation, so such a huge organization cannot be managed.

The beggars should be just an imaginary social group... There are a lot of beggars ...

Haha, those are just apocryphal.

There are beggars... Beggar gangs can only be small regional groups. After all, there is no money and no power...

Yes, yes, yes, whoever can say clearly is excellent.
