Gangs in Hong Kong can be traced back to "Hong Men" in Qing Dynasty and later renamed as "Triad". It is rumored that the name of the underworld is related to Guangdong. One theory is that triads only refer to Hong Men organizations in Guangdong, because there are three rivers in Guangdong: Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang.
Another explanation is that the name of the underworld originated from Chen Jinnan, the first incense owner in Hong Men, who failed to lead the uprising and died in Gao Xi Temple in Huizhou, Guangdong. His followers (formerly known as Su) continued to oppose the Qing court. They think that the weather, location and people are just right, so they are also called triads.
After the demise of the Qing Dynasty and the Second World War, triads evolved into a general term for traditional secret societies in Hong Kong. For nearly half a century, the activities of various gangs in the underworld include collecting protection fees, drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal gambling, running industries and other so-called pornographic, gambling and drug-related industries.
