Hui (secret society)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hui (會) is a Chinese word, generally meaning 'conference', but which is sometimes used to refer to a secret society. It is often mutually interchangeable with terms like kongsi (公司, pinyin: Gōngsī), a term generally used to mean 'corporation', or a Chinese clan (會館, pinyin: Huìgǔan), . The Hokkien-derived term kongsi is more widely known in Southeast Asia, however, whereas in China, the secret societies were just simply known as hui.
