徽州府对哥老会的通缉告示的发现与探讨

Discovery and Further Analysis of the Circular Order Made by the Prefecture of Huizhou to Gelao Society

在浩瀚的徽州文书中爬梳出一纸光绪二年徽州府对哥老会的通缉告示,其内容包含哥老会人员来源、活动特点及清政府为防范哥老会而加强保甲制度、发放门牌登记等措施。它印证了哥老会与洪门“三合会”、“三点会”的渊源关系,印证了太平军派洪门兄弟打入湘军,在湘军中发展哥老会组织的说法。它展示了1891年哥老会在长江下游以安徽为中心发动的大起义前在徽州的活动方式、特征和影响。

Among a vast accumulation of Huizhou charts, the two authors have discovered a sheet of circular order made by the prefecture of Huizhou to Gelao Society in the 2nd year of Guangxu's Reign, in which the origin of the members of Gelao Society, characteristics of their activities, and measures strengthened by the government of Qing Dynasty against Gelao Society, such as the Bao-jia system and house number plate registration were recorded. It confirmed the original relationship between Gelao Society and another two organizations 'Sanhehui' and 'Sandianhui' in Hong Group as well as a hearsay that Taiping Army had sent fellows of Hong Group into Hunan Army and then developed the organization of Gelao Society in it. It presented the activities, characteristics, and influences of Gelao Society before its massive uprising in the lower reaches of Yangtze River in Anhui Province in 1891.
