In the long history of China, many people do not like the Qing Dynasty, thinking that it was a weak and decadent dynasty, a dynasty where the people were not happy and were enslaved by foreign tribes. Indeed, the Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China. It can exist for more than two hundred years, and was eventually replaced by a democratic republic, which is inseparable from the efforts of the early rulers of the Qing Dynasty and echoes the laws of history that roll forward.
In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, China's national strength was very strong, Guotai Minchang. Since then, because of blind arrogance and closed the country, the Qing Dynasty has gradually weakened. After that, a humiliating history of land cession and reparations began.
The Qianlong Emperor has always been controversial because he was the ruler of the last prosperous era of Kangqian, when the country was prosperous and the land was vast, but it also left the foundation for later weakening.
During the Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty adopted the practice of closing the country and locking the country, which made the development of the Qing Dynasty backward. Even when the Industrial Revolution began in the West, the Qing Dynasty did not learn from it, and even resisted.
In this case, it was not until the beginning of the Opium War that the Qing Dynasty discovered the gap between itself and the Western countries, but it was too late.
Although the Qianlong Emperor laid the foundation for his later decline, it must be said that his achievements during his reign, especially in the field of literary studies.
Speaking of Bunji, it is impossible not to mention that he repaired the "Four Libraries complete book". At the time, more than 360 officials came together to complete this epic masterpiece. At that time, many Western countries were still perfecting language dictionaries, and the Qing Dynasty had already completed such a huge book project, which was also a great contribution to literature.
Friends who like to pay attention to history know that in feudal society, when one dynasty is destroyed, the rulers of the next dynasty will eliminate all the previous dynasties, fearing that they will make a comeback and pose a threat. There are many such examples in history, and even if the descendants of the destroyed dynasty are not "cleaned up", they will not show their sharp edges, and they will also hide among the people in a low-key manner and live an ordinary life, so as not to be too ostentatious and lead to the disaster of killing.
However, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there was a very different phenomenon. The descendants of the Qing royal family were not "completely purged.". On the contrary, after the founding of New China, many descendants of the Qing Dynasty royal family began to publicize the achievements of their ancestors, show off their identity as royal descendants, and even many people defrauded and impersonated royal descendants.
In Jilin Province, there is a famous doctor engaged in the study of traditional Chinese medicine. He claimed to be a descendant of Qianlong and said his name was Ai Xin Jue Luo Heng Shao.
According to genealogical records, he was the seventh grandson of the Qianlong Emperor. In addition, he wore a dragon robe and a dragon crown every day, and often went to worship his ancestors.
And most importantly, he claimed to have a white jade wrench worn by the Qianlong Emperor, which was said to be a treasure that the Qianlong Emperor had given to his family.
According to the expert appraisal, this white jade wrench was indeed worn by the Qianlong Emperor, and the price was as high as 300 million! After the results of the appraisal came out, for the sake of precious research and protection, the experts repeatedly suggested that he hand over the wrench to the country, but he refused all of them. The reason is simple, there are only six words, "I am a descendant of Qianlong", and said that this wrench will be passed on to his descendants in the future.
At present, the origin of the white jade wrench finger has yet to be studied, but Ai Xin Jue Luo Heng Shao is currently the owner of this ring.
However, the manchu descendants of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty have a clear lineage. And Wailing Jueluo Hengshao is indeed a descendant of the royal family, which remains to be examined.
