Chinese Masonic Alliance

The Chinese Masonic Alliance refers to a network of secret societies and fraternal organizations in China that share similar values, rituals, and goals. These groups, often rooted in traditional Chinese culture, emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries and typically focus on mutual support, community service, and political influence. The alliance plays a significant role in China’s history, especially during times of social change, as it attracted members from various backgrounds advocating for reform and modernization. While distinct from Western Freemasonry, it reflects similar principles of brotherhood and moral ideals.
