Why did Manchu people change their Han surname?

In today's society, many Manchu people have changed their Han surnames. Why? Let's have a look.

Why Manchu changed their Han surname is influenced by Han people: Manchu surname is one of the reflections of their cultures in different historical periods. In the period of Manchu isomorphism, its surname is disyllabic, and writing in Chinese characters means that two or more Chinese characters are the same. After Manchu entered the customs, the surname gradually changed to monosyllabic, that is, it was the same as the single-word surname of Han nationality. In essence, their surnames not only have the connotation of original disyllabic surnames, but also have the same monosyllabic expression as Han surnames, forming the cultural characteristics of Manchu and Chinese surnames.

Forced by livelihood: 19 12, after the abdication of the Qing emperor, the children of the Eight Banners who had been ignorant for a long time had no other survival skills. For most of them, being a small trader is the only way out. Selling fruits, fish and shoes? According to the survey, after the Revolution of 1911, about 20% Manchu people lived on the streets and did odd jobs everywhere. With economic embarrassment, it is even more unbearable discrimination.

In order to survive: the children of the Eight Banners hide their names and hide their Manchu identity. The woman took off her cheongsam and put on Hanfu. Every family put away the ancestral bags hung from their hometown in the northeast, and only on New Year's Eve did they dare to secretly take them out to pay homage to their ancestors. Suddenly Manchu people changed their surnames.

Avoidance: When the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing Dynasty, Dr. Sun Yat-sen proposed? Expel the Tatars? Slogan, Beijing and Manchu banners scattered all over the country did not flee to their hometown, but changed their names to Han people, and packaged them in Chinese and Chinese on the spot.

Policy Impact in the New Era: After the founding of New China, New China implemented the policy of great national unity. Intermarriage has also undergone tremendous changes. First, the boundary between nobles and civilians of all ethnic groups has been broken, and intermarriage of all ethnic groups is not restricted, just based on traditional customs? Don't marry with the same surname? Abide by the system of intermarriage outside the race and prohibit intermarriage within the race;

Secondly, the narrow concept of intermarriage within the nation and ethnic prejudice and discrimination were completely broken, and ethnic intermarriage was developed. All ethnic groups in the north live together with a large number of Han people, and the nobles and civilians of the original ethnic minorities generally intermarry with the Han people.
