YOU'RE FROM SHAOLIN DO.......DON'T GO WITH WHAT "YOU" KNOW. UNH UNH
WHAT U CALL "CHINESE MAFIA" WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT HAND IN HAND WITH SOUTHERN GUNG FU. U CANNOT SEPERATE THE TWO EVEN IF U TRIED.
As to ancient origin legends, you're going to find them in any traditional Asian style, Chinese or not...it's some sort of an Asian culture thing...Japanese, Okinawan, Korean, Thai, Indonesian...you;ll find tall tales in all of them...I think even a lot of modern Shaolin monks embellish stories from their past, quite a bit...I mean look at Bawang's stories about Wombat Combat...he couldn't have raped half the people he claims to, the math don't add up.
SECRECY WAS PARAMOUNT DURING THE QING DYNASTY. IT WAS LITEREALLY A MATTER OF KEEPING YOUR HEAD.
