Chinese Triads ???

• Manchu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In the
• 1760s, a society called the Tian Di Hui ??? was
• formed in China. Its purpose was to overthrow the
  
  
• Manchu-led Qing Dynasty and restore Han
• Chinese rule. As the Tiandihui spread through
• different parts of China, it branched off into
  many
  
• groups and became known by many names. These
• societies accordingly made use of the triangle in
  
  
• their imagery usually accompanied with swords or
  
  
• Kwan Kung, the Chinese God of War. The name
• "triad" was coined by British authorities in Hong
  
  
• Kong, referring to that use of triangular imagery.
