A deep dive into the history of the Heaven & Earth Society, who were the successors of the White Lotus Society, and how it relates to me, the Li/Lee clan where i hail from, in the face of 2025's incoming Agenda 2030.

More than 300 hundred years ago China was ruled by the Ming dynasty. There was a foreign nation called Manchu living northeast of China.

Manchu successfully invaded the Ming regime and ruled China for about 300 years under the a new regime called the Qing-Imperium.

During this time in the early 1600s, The Heaven & Earth Society was primarily secret a mutual aid and self-protection association, where people from all walks of life in Ancient China banded together with the hopes of creating parallel social institutions independent of gentry elites and the Manchurian Invasion.

The Heaven & Earth Society was lead by forces still loyal to the destroyed Ming Dynasty for the purpose of uniting all underground forces in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Later on it changed its name to Hongmen/Hung Moon (Cantonese)/洪門, which literally means Hong’s/Hung's Door/School/Group; and became a more structured organization where different groups of anti-Qing forces were amalgamated into one organization. The character 洪, meaning "Vastness", was chosen because the word resembles the Chinese character for the pure-blood Han peoples - 漢.

It was during this time where we find Martial Arts masters from all walks of life being pursecuted, purged and exiled for being a Ming-Loyalist. Most exiles ended up living very nomadic lives; the most prominent being those who recreated themselves as travelling performers on the Red Opera Boat. It was during this time that Wing Chun/Fist of The Singing Spring was created; born out of hope and encapsulating the mission of reclaiming China from a foreign takeover and ending a at least 800 years of war between the Manchu's and Han Chinese.

The Heaven & Earth Society (aka the people of the "Vast-Gate"/Hung Moon/Hongmen) grew stronger over time, though the movement never achieved its aim to restore the Ming Dynasty in the end. The Heaven & Earth society further evolved into becoming a syndicate that founded the Chinese underworld gangs all over the world, now known as the "San Haap Wui" (Cantonese)/Traid/The Three-Harmonious Society; representing Heaven, Earth and Humanity.

😄 who woulda thought it'll be this easy?

Master Yip Man used to practice the Wing Chun first form ("Siu Lim Tau"/"The Little Idea") one legged. It's a great way to work on one's balance which goes into the realm of footwork and terrain (most important).

I find working on finding the equilibrium in balance helps me with the Wing Chun kicks.

The "hook-step" is a deadly move to stick, trip, pin down the enemy from the feet; i learnt this during my time under the brief tutelage of one Wudang Taoist Priest up in the Zi Xiao Gong/Purple Cloud Palace. It comes from the sister martial art of Tai-Chi, called TaiYi Wu Xing Quan (Five Element Fist of Supreme-Unity). I visited Mt Wudang with my Father, alongside some other family friends, in 2010/2011 and we were very lucky to have the private use of one of the Temple Courtyards for our two week training. I'll tell you that story another time.

I am also working on simultaneous attack and defence (hall mark of Wing Chun) combos on both sides; more specifically i am working on what is known as "shoulder checking", whereby i neutralise the opponent's next possible attack (though i may not know where it's coming from or what form of attack it is, or what vector etc) by attacking right at the hinge/fulcrum point of the exposed shoulder of my imaginary opponent.

No need to memorize techniques when you can maintain dominance over and inside your opponent's centerline, whilst blocking/neutralizing any incoming attacks before they even arise. Always one step ahead.
