The beggar's grandfather-
All walks of life have their grandfathers, and beggars' gangs are no exception. Fan Dan, Zhu Yuanzhang, Song Wu, Qin Qiong and Wu Zixu. He was respected as the founder by the disciples of the Beggars' Sect, among whom he was the most "mighty" because he saved Kong's life. It is said that Confucius stopped cooking when he was in the state of Chen, and the relief he received would not starve to death. Therefore, beggars in later generations worshipped Fan Dan as their ancestor.
They went door to door to beg for food from merchants who posted Spring Festival couplets on their doors, in order to get back a little favor for their ancestors from Confucius' disciples and grandchildren. Fan Dan in the Eastern Han Dynasty was a famous poor Han in history, and he also had contacts with Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. Of course, this is the result of rumors.
The beggars in the novel are well organized. Under the leader, there are several elders, as well as helmsman and incense master. Another person said that beggars' gang leaders are graded according to the number of packages, and the more packages, the higher the seniority. Beggars' guild leader is not only top-notch in martial arts, but also first-class in moral integrity. He is recognized as a hero in white.
