However, it is said that they sometimes lynch corrupt and bribery officials in sects, which is illegal in law, but they are a group of people who rob the poor and help the rich, eliminate violence and have peace of mind. They are chivalrous men.
Another group of social groups in the late Ming Dynasty was no longer Jianghu people, but a huge social group covering both inside and outside the imperial court. They are called Lindong party member. During the Wanli period, because of the frequent inaction of the emperor Wanli, the power struggle of the court continued.

In the imperial court, due to the expansion of the party, people from other places formed power gangs in succession, including the Qi Party with Shandong as the main body and the Chu Party with Hubei as the main body, and other local social organizations United against the party. The interweaving of various forces and the participation of eunuchs later made the struggle the theme of the late Ming Dynasty, and the world became a river and lake.
