Lindong Party
A political group dominated by Jiangnan literati in the late Ming Dynasty. In the thirty-second year of Wanli (1604), Gu Xiancheng, who was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, resumed the Donglin Academy where Shi Yang gave lectures in the Song Dynasty with the support of Changzhou magistrate Ouyang Dongfeng and Wuxi magistrate Lin Zai. Zeng gave lectures with Qian Yiben, Xue Fujiao, Shi Menglin, Yu and his brother Yuncheng. "In addition to his speeches, he often satirizes current politics and comments on people." Those who admire the courtiers' demeanor keep a respectful distance from each other. This kind of political lecture activity has formed a wide range of social influences. "Three Wu gentry", various anti-DPRK political representatives, southeast urban forces and some local power groups once gathered around the Lindong School centered on Donglin Academy. At that time, people called it Lindong Party. In the later period of Ming Shenzong and Zhu Yijun's rule, eunuchs were arrogant and perverse, politics became increasingly corrupt, and social contradictions intensified. In view of this phenomenon, Lindong party member put forward some ideas, such as opposing the plunder caused by the mine supervision tax, reducing the tax burden, and developing the economy of the southeast region. They also advocated opening their minds and carrying out reforms to criticize the current situation, which was widely supported by the society at that time, but also met with fierce opposition from eunuchs and various dependent forces. In the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, the main opponents of the party were Qi, Chu and Zhejiang. In the late Wanli period, the two sides took the struggle for the country as the head, and three cases were the rest, attacking each other.
During the Apocalypse period, eunuch Wei Zhongxian was dictatorial, forming the most powerful eunuch group in the Ming Dynasty. Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties scrambled to attach themselves to it and brutally suppressed party member. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Yang Lian, a member of Lindong Party, was arrested for the crime of illegally dissolving Wei Zhongxian, and was killed together with Zuo Guangdou, Huang Zunsu and Zhou Shunchang. Wei Zhongxian also made up the Essentials of the Three Dynasties, taking the three cases of Red Pill and Palace Strike as the topic, destroying Donglin Academy and cracking down on Lindong Party. Famous people such as Wei Dazhong, Gu, Zhou Qiyuan and Miao were persecuted to death. The Party of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang made a series of records, which added Lin Dong to the notoriety and tied for the national party member list. Each list ranges from 100 to more than 500 people. Those who list names, the living cut books, the dead chase them, and the good ones are empty. Wei Zhongxian also ordered his henchmen to make "Lin Dong Dian Jiang Lu" and nicknamed the famous Lin Dong party member "Water Margin" in an attempt to catch the gang. In seven years, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and Wei Zhongxian hanged himself. The following year, The Classic of Three Dynasties was destroyed, so the persecution of Lindong party member stopped. However, the struggle between Lin Dong and the eunuch party continued until the Nanming period.
