How did the Old Nine Gates come into being?

Laojiumen refers to the nine grave robbing families in Changsha.

The word "Nine Gates" in ancient China generally refers to the nine gates of an ideal country, and a businessman must choose one of them if he wants to enter or leave the gate. This is the meaning of "Old Nine Gates".

Most of the "Old Nine Gates" belong to the outer eight lines, namely beggars' gangs, thieves, inverted buckets, mountain walking, golden spots, ringing horses, igniting fires and collecting water. In these eight lines, the thief refers to the horse, the golden point refers to the divination, and the inverted bucket refers to the grave robbers, mountain thieves, fire thieves and water thieves. During the Republic of China, Laojiu's family was a big family, with huge family power, covering many industries.

Nine doors are divided into upper three doors, flat three doors and lower three doors. The upper three doors are officials, the flat three doors are thieves, and the lower three doors are businessmen. Xiasanmen is more closely related to Pingsanmen, such as Wu Jiahe's in-laws. Generally speaking, Buddha Zhang, as the head of the nine families, is under the command of the Zhang family.

Extended data:

When Nanpai's three uncles wrote notes on grave robbery, they set up nine families for the characters in the book, but for some reason, a city has nine gates, and one of the nine gates must be taken when entering or leaving the city. In order to highlight the great influence of these nine families, they are all old families engaged in grave robbery, so they are collectively called Old Nine Gates.

But just like this official, there are also different levels, and the powerful and intertwined old Jiumen family also has different levels. Zhang Jia, represented by Buddha Zhang, is vaguely the head of the Laojiu School. February Red and Zhang Qishan have a good relationship, and their status is obviously good.

These three gates are the Buddhas headed by Zhang Qishan, February Red and Ban Mei. Pingsanmen, represented by Chenpi Asi, Wu Laogou and Heibei Laoliu; The next three doors are the remaining ones, Jay kuya, Huo Xiangu and Qi Tiezui.
