After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, where did my brother and Gege in the palace go?

Anyone familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty knows that the Eight Banners nobles played an important role in the Qing Dynasty, but the problem came. After the end of the Qing dynasty, where did the brothers and sisters who were favored by the court and the children of the so-called Eight Banners go? Once brilliant brothers and sisters seem to suddenly disappear overnight. In fact, they may just change their surnames and hide among ordinary people. In order to survive better, they dare not claim to be aristocratic children.

First, at first, they still had to rely on the imperial court to support them. At that time, Yuan Shikai promised that they could still get government funding, but the children who received such preferential treatment were basically aristocratic children, and ordinary children could only support themselves. At that time, these aristocratic children lived a pampered life all day, giving them high salaries every year, but they gradually disappeared in the later period. At that time, after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, workers were forbidden to work, so most of them would not support themselves.

Second, they changed their surnames to China one after another. They all lost their rich lives. At first, they all sold their property, and later their property was destroyed. They changed their surnames to the surnames of China people, which is why there are few surnames like Aisin Gioro and Niulu now, but they can't change their surnames at will. Most of them turn surnames into Chinese characters. Manchu people used to look down on the Han people in order to get in touch with them better, and now they still do.

Third, they have to live in misery. Now they can only support their families by themselves. For example, they have their own palace, and there are some treasures they once collected in the palace. In order to have a bite to eat, they had to sell it cheaply, and their property and fields were ruined little by little. However, some of them suffered from war and lived in different places, and they have been transformed from nobles to civilians. Later, the state also arranged jobs for some of them and led ordinary lives.
