What happened to the royal family in the Qing Dynasty?

The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in the feudal history of China. After the Qing Dynasty's Aisinggioro family entered the customs, it experienced 10 emperors and ruled for 268 years. At 65,438+09,654,38+02, the Queen Mother Yulong issued a abdication edict, and the feudal regime came to an end.

The demise of an imperial dynasty made the royal aristocrats at that time fall from the altar. The royal family here not only refers to Aisingiorro itself, but also includes the family that married Aisingiorro because of the marriage of Manchu nobles in Dachuan, Aisingiorro. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, where did the descendants of the former royal family go?

Although the royal family, such as Essien Joro, enjoyed all their wealth and splendor in the Qing Dynasty, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, they were in a discriminated public opinion environment and were often bullied even in school, employment and business, which made them have to accept the fate of becoming citizens from the royal family.

If you want to become a civilian, the first thing is to change your name and surname and hide your original identity as a flag bearer, because if you continue to keep the surname of the royal family, you will be excluded. Puyi once said in My First Half Life that after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, it was often heard that the Manchu people were pushed out everywhere, and the word "Aisingiorro" in Aisingiorro means gold in Manchu, so the royal family changed its surname to Jin, otherwise it would not be able to find a job.

After the royal family of Essien Choro changed its surname, most of them became civilians, pursuing their hobbies like ordinary people and then integrating into society. Mr. Qi Gong, a famous painter and painter, is an out-and-out Manchu, the ninth-generation grandson of Yong Zhengdi, but he never wants to mention his surname Aisin Qiaoluo, so his name has been "Qi Gong" in his various files since he was very young.

Not only did the Aisingiorro family change their surnames, but other members of the royal family also changed their surnames, such as tatara's surname Tang, such as singer Na Ying, who was originally a descendant of one of the Empress Dowager Cixi's families. The original surname was Ye Henala, and later it was changed to "Na". In addition, it was originally Guarga, whose surname was Zhengbaiqi in Manchu, and later it was changed to "Guan". Also, it was Wu Yashi, who was originally a Manchu flag.

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty was gone, Puyi, the little emperor of the royal family, was still there. After Puyi went to the Northeast with the Japanese as the emperor of Manchukuo, many royal families also went to the Northeast with Puyi. Although Puyi was the puppet emperor of the Japanese at that time, a large part of those royal families chose to settle in the Northeast. After all, the northeast is the land of their ancestors' Longxing, and they have also resumed the life of ordinary people in agriculture or commerce in obscurity.

Most of the descendants of the Qing royal family settled in a small village called Nita Village within the jurisdiction of Benxi City, Liaoning Province. This village is a little different from other villages. Most people in this village are descendants of the Qing royal family. Their last name was Aisingiorro, but later it was changed to Jin. Many of them have always regarded themselves as descendants of the royal family, and they still retain the customs of royal life, such as not marrying foreigners, not eating dog meat, and being elegant and restrained.

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, many upper-class aristocrats changed their surnames one after another, and some found good jobs and lived well. Although some princes and nobles own a lot of land, treasures, houses and so on. As they lost their fixed income, they had to live in the open space. Bandu, the grandson of the king of Yinxian County, used to be Puyi, but he was poor in the second half of his life and could only make a living by collecting junk.

The life of the lower class people is relatively poor. Many children of the Eight Banners once had no education and lacked the skills and skills to survive. Many people pull rickshaws to make a living, and some aristocratic children sell vegetables, entertainers and even dig their own graves. Most of them concealed the identity of the Eight Banners and even reported it to the Han nationality.

There are still many farsighted people among some children of the royal family, because in the stormy late Qing Dynasty, it is no stranger for everyone to study abroad and emigrate. Many members of the royal family who are either rich or expensive choose to emigrate to live overseas. For convenience, Nanyang and Japan became their first choice for immigration. Of course, some of them went to the United States and Europe, and some royal children studied abroad and settled down, which indirectly caused the outflow of silver and rare treasures.
