What kind of person was Lindong Party in Ming Dynasty?
Lindong Party is a bureaucratic political group dominated by Jiangnan literati in the late Ming Dynasty. The "Party" of "Lindong Party" is a small group, not a modern political party.

1604 (thirty-two years of Wanli), Gu Xiancheng and others resumed Donglin Academy, where Shi Yang gave lectures in the Song Dynasty, and gave lectures with Gao Panlong and Qian Yiben. Lin Dong's lectures coincided with the intensification of social contradictions in the late Ming Dynasty. In the name of satirizing and commenting on government affairs and officials, Lindong people shield landlords and seek benefits for wealthy businessmen and tycoons. Although they put forward progressive slogans such as clean government, young officials, open speech and getting rid of the accumulated disadvantages in the ruling and opposition parties, they actually became spokesmen of big landlords and big businessmen's interest groups, turned a blind eye to the tragic reality of famine victims in the late Ming Dynasty and tried their best to obstruct the act of raising money for disaster relief. At that time, the people of Lindong were fiercely opposed by eunuchs and their dependent forces. The development and evolution of the political differences between them formed a fierce party struggle situation in the late Ming Dynasty. The opposition generally calls Lindong College "Lindong Party" because it holds lectures, and people in the government and the public who have relations with it or support sympathetic lectures.
