From Wikipedia, Jianghu or jiang hu or 江湖 (lit. "rivers and lakes") is the community of martial artists in wuxia stories and, more recently, outlaw societies like the Triads.

The Chinese word jianghu (江湖) literally translates to "rivers and lakes" but it means so much more. Jianghu is the name of the brotherhood of outsiders that existed in old China. It is the counterculture society of workers who made their living with the skill of their own two hands: craftsmen, beggars, thieves, street performers, fortune tellers, wandering healers, and many martial artists. In ancient China, where education was valued over physical ability, this was the lowest rank of social order. Mainstream society belonged to the Confucian scholar-officials. Its underbelly was the jianghu. The jianghu has inspired countless numbers of novels and movies. Jianghu tradition still influences martial arts to this day.
The first known use of the word Jianghu can be found in the writings of the Daoist sage Zhuangzi. In the 4th century B.C. he wrote:
"When the springs dry up and the fish are left stranded on the ground, they spew each other with moisture and wet each other down with spit—but it would be much better if they could forget each other in the rivers and lakes." (泉涸，鱼相与处于陆，相呴以湿，相濡以沫，不如相忘于江湖. Burton Watson translation)
And about this 'story' of mine, I plan to pick the certain interesting parts of novels, comics or anything that I lay my eyes on, and bring it here to immortalize it in the river and lake of time.
It will not be in any order, just what my heart and time allows it.
