Speaking of Dorgon, I think everyone who has seen the Qing Palace drama is very familiar. Dorgon in film and television dramas often appears as an affectionate supporting actor, earning tears from the audience. However, the real Dorgon in history is unlikely to love beauty and not love the country, and he enjoyed all his power in his life, but his descendants withered away, leaving only 1 daughter and 1 heir.
His heir was named Aisin Kyora Dolbo, who was originally a nephew of Dolgun (son of Duoduo the Prince of Yu), but later succeeded Dolgun and took the title of Prince of Rui of Dolgun. In layman's terms, Dorgon is extinct, and his descendants in this line are relatively weakly related to him, but this does not affect some people who call themselves his tenth grandson.
The man who claimed to be the grandson of Dolgun X was the "great name" Aisin Kyora Yudi (also known as Zhou Di). The history of the fall of the Qing Dynasty is not far from us, but after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many descendants of the imperial family are relatively low-key, such as Jin Moyu, who is known as the "last Gege of the Qing Dynasty", who devoted himself to education before his death and rarely mentioned his royal status.
Yu Di is different, he believes that since he is a descendant of Ai XinJue Luo, he should take on the responsibility of reviving the ancestral culture. In the early years, Yudi lived under the name of "Zhou Youqian", and after entering the 21st century, Yudi changed back to the surname of Ai Xinjueluo, and kept the Manchu Qing dynasty's iconic long braids, wearing only yellow royal costumes, and posing as a prince.
Wherever Yu Di goes, he is a Qing Dynasty prince, which will naturally attract the attention of the public. Many people went to interview Yu Di and found that the items in his home were all bright yellow, and even the mobile phone case had to be used in bright yellow to indicate his royal orthodoxy. What is even more strange is that Yudi's home is full of "ancestral portraits" such as Nurhaci and Dolgun.
There are many doubts about Yu Di's identity, not to mention the problem that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, most of the descendants of Ai Xinjue Luo changed their surname to "Jin" instead of changing their surname to "Zhou", and it should be known that the ranking of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty was calculated from the Yongzheng Emperor, which was arranged like this: Yin, Hong, Yong, Mian, Yi, Zai, Pu, Yu, Heng, and Qi.
Since Yu Di claims to be the tenth grandson of Dolgun, his character should indeed be "Yu". The strange thing is that YuDi said in an interview that he was a cousin of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. As we all know, the name of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Ai Xin Jue Luo Puyi, and the "Pu" character was one generation higher than the "Yu" character generation, how could the two be brothers? It should be the relationship between the elders and the juniors.
Although he has always been questioned, Yu Di still goes his own way. He not only turned his home into a "royal palace", with a large number of wooden furniture and ancestral swords and bows and arrows hanging in the palace, but also required his wife and sons to abide by the ancestral rules that should be paid attention to as a princess and a little prince: "princess" takes care of his long braids every day, and "little prince" also wears Manchu traditional yellow clothing every day.
In addition, Yu Di also publicly stated that he only did this to ensure the continuous inheritance of the family culture, and as a descendant of Ai Xin Jueluo, he had the responsibility to maintain the purity of the royal bloodline. He married the Eight Flags woman, and future children and grandchildren must also marry the Eight Flags woman, even if the close relatives intermarried, it does not matter, the focus is on maintaining the bloodline.
Such remarks were released, which immediately caused controversy. Some people think that Yudi is just a novelty pursuit of fame, and others think that there is nothing wrong with him promoting the ancestral culture, and it is very courageous. However, what I wonder most is that since Yu Di flaunts himself as the tenth grandson of Dolgun everywhere, why can't he even calculate the basic generational problem?
