Beggars' Sect
The Beggars' Sect is a fictional martial arts sect featured prominently in works of ''wuxia'' fiction by writers such as Jin Yong and Gu Long. The sect has also found its way into martial arts films such as ''King of Beggars''. The sect's members are mostly beggars as its name suggests, but some of them are from other walks of life. They are noticeable in public for their dress code and behaviour. The members adhere to a strict code of conduct and maintain the utmost respect for ranks and hierarchy. They uphold justice and help those in need through acts of chivalry. The Beggars' Sect is also one of the supporting pillars in the defence of ancient Han Chinese society from foreign invaders.〔 Cha, Louis. ''The Return of the Condor Heroes'' (神雕俠侶). ''Ming Pao'', 1959.〕 The sect has a wide network of communications and the members are reputed for their excellent information-gathering skills. This is due to the sect's large size and the nature of its members, which allows them to blend into different parts of society easily.
==History==
The sect was founded in the Han dynasty〔Cha, Louis. ''The Legend of the Condor Heroes'' (神雕俠侶). ''Hong Kong Commercial Daily'', 1957.〕 and lasted for centuries. It is mentioned in ''wuxia'' novels such as ''Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'' (Northern Song dynasty) and the ''Condor Trilogy'' (Southern Song dynasty to Yuan dynasty).
The Beggars' Sect was one of the largest and most highly recognised martial arts sects in the ''wulin'' (martial artists' community) until the Yuan dynasty.〔Cha, Louis. ''Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'' (天龍八部). ''Ming Pao'', 1963.〕 Its fame and popularity began to decline in the Yuan dynasty due to ill discipline among its members and incompetent leadership.
