Chinese Boxers
« on: May 15, 2012, 08:09:03 »
The Boxer Rebellion (1898-1901)
was named after the Boxers,
a 40,000-member secret organization actually called the
"Righteousness and Harmony Society."
They were called Boxers because they engaged in martial art rituals
and the Chinese word for "society" sounded like the English word "fist."
