They originated in the anti-Manchu resistance in China. The term triad comes from the three dots which form part of the Chinese character for the Ming Emperor Hung Wu. The Triads began as Men of Hung. They were both part of the political resistance of [the Han] Chinese to the [Manchu] dynasty, as well as outlaws who Ta fu — [chih] pin (Hit the Rich and help the poor).

          [Triad] (Simplified Chinese: ÈýºÏ»á; Traditional Chinese: ÈýºÏ•þ; [Pinyin]: S¨¡nh¨¦hu¨¬; literally Triad Society) or (Simplified Chinese: ºÚÉç»á; Traditional Chinese: ºÚÉç•þ; Pinyin: {{{p}}}; literally Black Society) is a collective term that describes many branches of an underground society and organizations based in Hong Kong and also operating in [Macau], Taiwan, Mainland China, and Chinatowns in Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
          There are more than 57 [triad] groups that are active in Hong Kong; some of them are no more than small, local street gangs. The larger groups, including the Sun Yee On, Wo [Shing] Wo and [14K], are syndicates of sophisticated criminals, mirror images of such similar western empires of crime as the mafia.
          Their activities include drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal gambling, prostitution, car theft and other forms of racketeering. A major source of triad income today comes from the counterfeiting intellectual property such as computer software, music CDs and movie VCDs/DVDs. They also trade in [bootleg tobacco] products.
