I've tried to structure the definition by combining roughly similar glosses as follows:

- rivers and lakes
- all corners of the country; remote areas to which hermits retreat
- section of society operating independently of mainstream society, out of reach of the law; the milieu in which wuxia tales play out (cf. 武俠|武侠[wu3 xia2])
- (in late imperial times) world of traveling merchants, itinerant doctors, fortune tellers etc; demimonde
- (in modern times) triads; secret gangster societies; underworld
Diff:
- 江湖 江湖 [jiang1 hu2] /rivers and lakes/all corners of the country/remote areas to which hermits retreat/section of society operating independently of mainstream society, out of reach of the law/the milieu in which wuxia tales play out (cf. 武俠|武侠[wu3 xia2])/(in late imperial times) world of traveling merchants, itinerant doctors, fortune tellers etc/demimonde/(in modern times) triads/secret gangster societies/underworld/
+ 江湖 江湖 [[jiang1hu2]] /rivers and lakes/all corners of the country; remote areas to which hermits retreat/section of society operating independently of mainstream society, out of reach of the law; the milieu in which wuxia tales play out (cf. 武俠|武侠[wu3 xia2])/(in late imperial times) world of traveling merchants, itinerant doctors, fortune tellers etc; demimonde/(in modern times) triads; secret gangster societies; underworld/
