A: Begging gangs are generally street gangs and generally do not form large-scale regional organizations.

Shaolin is not a gang, but a sect. The biggest difference between them and gangs is that they are martial arts teaching institutions, such as Heart Gate, Xingyi Gate, Taiji Gate, Bagua Palm, Octagonal Gate, Mantis Gate, Nature Gate, Baihe Gate, Wing Chun, Hongquan and Cai Lifo. (In no particular order).
