Red Lanterns (Boxer Uprising)
The Red Lanterns () were the women's fighting groups organized by village women who were not allowed to join the men's groups during the Boxer Uprising of 1900. Villagers said these women had supernatural powers and were called upon to perform tasks which the male Boxers could not. Background Unlike the Taiping rebels but like many Chinese folk sects such as the White Lotus Sect, Boxer ideology forbade contact with women. Boxer discipline in its strictest form did not allow sexual contact with or even looking at a woman for fear that the female's polluting ''yin'' would destroy the invulnerability ritual. Nevertheless, women organized parallel units: The Red Lanterns (''Hongdeng zhao'', i.e. "Red Lanterns Shining"), for younger women, "Blue Lanterns" (''Landeng zhao'') for middle-aged women, and Black Lanterns (''Heideng zhao'') for elderly women. The Red Lanterns ranged in age from twelve to eighteen, did not set their hair in the traditional way and did not bind their feet. T ...
