The three sects of red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots were originally one family. This is used in the list of gods to say that the leaders of the Chan, Jie, and Human sects were all disciples of Patriarch Hongjun. The three teachings come from the same school. Among the people, especially among Jianghu gangs, the red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots mean Hongmen, Qinggang and White Lotus. The red flowers refer to Hongmen, the green leaves refer to Qinggang, and the white lotus roots refer to White Lotus Sect.
