Like Freemasonry in the West, the Hung Society or Triad Society arems justly entitled to claim it is a lineal descendant of the Ancient Mysteries. It represents the Higher Degrees in Free masonry rather than the Craft in that the main part of the ritual deals with what is supposed to bafall a man after death. It has many striking analogies with Ancient Egypt.
In this fascinating study, Mr. Stirling has collected first hand information on the Triad Society itself, and in the preface he says: I would earnestly ask any brother Mason who is living in China, should he sea this work to endeavour to discover what other, signs- and grips are in use among the members of the secret societies. there, and, if he does not wish to write anything on the subject himself to let me know."
