In 1912, Empress Dowager Yulong promulgated the Edict of Abdication by Emperor Puyi, ending the 276-year dominance of the Qing Dynasty in China and the end of the last feudal dynasty. Unlike the Qing army's extermination of the Ming Dynasty royal family after entering, the Qing room could not only temporarily live in the Forbidden City, but also enjoy a series of preferential treatment.
Of course, this is all due to the "Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" signed during the negotiations between Empress Yulong and Yuan Shikai, which is recorded in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty": "The great changes have begun, the regime has been thanked, the world is just, and the preferential treatment will always exist, so as to open up the strangeness that has never been seen in the ages." It was precisely for this reason that the Qing Dynasty royal family was not mutilated, and their heirs later integrated into the people, changed their names and surnames and lived with ordinary people.
However, some people are quite high-profile, not only retaining the surname of Aisin Kyora, but also proud of their status as descendants of the Manchu royal family, and carrying out "royal" worship activities with great fanfare. Yes, this sentence refers to a famous person we are very familiar with, Aisin Kyora Hengshao, who is famous because he often carries out ancestral worship with a large group of people in yellow robes.
Born in 1958, Ai Xin Jue Luo Heng Shao is a Chinese medicine researcher who worked in an integrated Chinese and Western medicine hospital in his early years, and has founded a Chinese medicine research institute since 1991 and is still working in the institute. In the field of medicine, Heng Shao also had a successful career, and he was awarded the title of China's special famous doctor for writing a collection of palace secret recipes.
But in terms of life, many of Hengshao's behaviors make us unable to agree. Because of the family name of Ai Xinjueluo, Heng Shao emphasized more than once that he was the seventh grandson of Qianlong, so he felt that he had an obligation to inherit the royal tradition, and when worshipping his ancestors, he not only had a huge momentum, but also changed into the costumes of the Qing Dynasty, including eunuchs, ministers, and palace women, and he himself put on a dragon robe and a dragon crown, as if he regarded himself as an "emperor".
In addition to this behavior, Heng Shao also has a place that has attracted the attention of many experts and scholars, that is, he claims to have a Qianlong ancestral wrench. This wrench is made of white jade throughout, and it is said that Qianlong always wore it before he died, which shows how much he likes it. Later, the wrench that Qianlong gave to Heng Shao's grandfather was handed down from the family and now in Heng Shao's hands.
Later, some scholars personally found Heng Shao and identified his ring, and experts agreed that it was indeed a genuine product, but a rare treasure. It is precisely because of this that this ring has significant research and collection significance, with a valuation of 300 million. Experts suggested to Hengshao that such cultural relics should be handed over to the state.
But Heng Shao refused, with only 6 words: "I am a descendant of Qianlong." For him, perhaps the significance of this ordination is not only valuable, but also an heirloom, carrying the hope and spiritual inheritance of the family, so it is understandable that he does not want to turn it in, and there is no need for moral kidnapping.
However, there are still some people, the Grand Duke selflessly donated their family's treasures that have been collected for many years. For example, a few years ago, there was an uncle who collected the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhao Bingzhong's Yuanyuan Scroll, and after being identified by experts as indeed authentic, he handed it over to the state free of charge, making an important contribution to china's study of the culture of the Imperial Examination. For such people, we admire and praise even more.
