How it's used
Refers specifically to the inner circle or blood relatives of a triad leader, often implying immense power and protection within the underworld. It carries a heavy, serious tone and is frequently encountered in crime dramas or discussions about gang hierarchy. Unlike standard family terms, it emphasizes the inherited authority and the untouchable status associated with the leader.
