Today I will continue to talk to you about the eight surnames of Manchuria, after talking about the Niu Cobalt Lu clan and the Tong Jia clan, today we will talk about the Yehenara clan, a surname that is intertwined with the love and hate of the Ai XinJue Luo family.
1. The prominent Yehe tribe
The surname Yehenara originated from his tribal name, Yehenabe. Yehebu is one of the four parts of Haixi Jurchen Hulun, the geographical location is located in the west of the four parts of Hulun, located in Lishu County, Siping City, Jilin Province, which is located in the hinterland of the Songliao Plain, and there is the Yehe River, the mother of the Yehe tribe, which is named after the Yehe tribe, so that the Yehe tribe has abundant products, prosperity and strength.
Just as the so-called "time is not as good as the location, the geographical advantage is not as good as the people", although the strength of the Yehe tribe is inseparable from the geographical advantage, but more importantly, it depends on the anger and strength of the Yehe people. Among the four parts of the Haixi Jurchen Lun, in terms of blood, only Yehe is a foreign tribe, and the other three tribes, Hada, Huifa and Ula, are all "melons on a vine". It can be seen how difficult it was for yehe ancestors in the early days of entrepreneurship.
After several generations of operation by Yehe's ancestors, the Yehe people not only settled in Haixi, but also the sixth generation of descendants Qing Jia nu and Yang Jinu brothers, inheriting the ancestors Yu Lie, along the banks of the Yehe River to establish the Yehe Twin Cities, that is, the two cities of Yehe East and West (brother Qing jia Nu ju xi cheng, brother Yang Jinu ju dong cheng), at this time Ye He bu successfully surpassed the Hada bu that was strongly supported by the Ming Dynasty at that time, and became the strongest tribe in Haixi. This was also the time when Yehebu was at its peak.

Second, the love-hate relationship with the Aisin Kyora family
When it comes to the various clans of the Jurchens, how can they not get around the Ai Xinjue Luo family, Ye Hebu and the Ai Xin Jue Luo family have a grudge between them, cutting constantly, and rationalizing the chaos.
There are two Yehe women, who can be said to be the rise and fall between the two major families of Yehenara and Aixin Jueluo, one is the birth mother of emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, Yehenara Menggu Zhezhe, who is also the only empress of the Qing Taizu Nurhaci (posthumously) of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Empress Xiaocigao. The other is the legendary First Beauty of the Jurchens, yehenara-Dongggg, who has made countless heroes bend their waists.
The great struggle between Ye He and Ai XinJueluo, caused by Empress Xiaocigao Menggu Zhezhe, was mainly due to Meng gu zhezhe's desire to see his mother for the last time before his death, which was ruthlessly rejected by his brother Narin Bulu, and as a result, Meng Gu zhezhe died regrettably, only 29 years old. Nurhaci and the Aisin Kyora family hated Narinbulu's ruthlessness and used this as an excuse to wage war against Yehe. As a result, the Aisin Kyora family won a great victory in this battle, and Narimbulu also lost his life.

Then the "influence" of this Donggogge is even greater and more tragic. She refused to marry Nurhaci because Nurhaci was her father's enemy, and used her life as a bargaining chip to unite with other tribes to conquer Nurhaci in Jianzhou to avenge her father.
The enmity between Yehe and Jianzhou has been unsure, and Nurhaci has attacked the Jurchens in Haixi in the name of Yehe and other tribes' treachery, and this time Nurhaci has captured the other three parts of Haixi in addition to Yehe in one fell swoop, completely becoming the strongest tribe of Jurchens. Since then, Yehe has also completely gone to loneliness, helplessly attached to the Ming Dynasty for several years, and finally with the defeat of the Battle of Mingting Salhu, the Yehe tribe was completely conquered by Nurhaci and officially became a loyal member of the builders of the Qing Dynasty. At the age of 34, Dong gegege reluctantly married the son of Mongolian Belle, but unfortunately died the following year.

3. Prominent figure of the Yehenara clan of the Qing Dynasty
Regarding the feud between the two major families of Yehenara and Aisin Kyora, there has always been such a legend: when Ye He was conquered, Buyangu (said to be Jintaishi) Belle left a vow that as long as Ye He still had a woman, he would die and love Shin Kyora. This vow is tragic, but it is not true if it is purely imaginary.
After the end of the struggle between Ai Xin Jue Luo and Yehenara, and even after the Ai Xin Jue Luo clan won the Jiangshan, the Yehenara people were not subjected to any suppression and discrimination, not only that, the Yehenara clan has always enjoyed a noble position in the Qing Dynasty, and many prominent figures have emerged.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, the Naran Pearl, who was in power and opposition, was one of the representative figures of the Yehenara clan. This Naran Pearl is the grandson of the Lord of Yehe City, Belle Jintaishi, who is also the brother of Emperor Taizong Taiji's biological mother, Empress Xiaocigao, and Naran Mingzhu is married to the daughter of Prince Azig of Ying, so the Naran Pearl is closely related to the royal family, and the background is quite hard! Such a prominent status made the path of Nalan Mingzhu's career smooth, and Nalan Mingzhu was loyal and conscientious to the Kangxi Emperor, and soon became a scholar of Wuyingdian University, becoming the second most powerful minister under Suo'etu.

Although he was later deposed by the Kangxi Emperor for forming a private party, he was eventually able to die well, so he was a hundred times stronger than his old rival Suo Ertu.
If Nalan Mingzhu is a little strange, then his son you must know that he is the famous lyricist of the Qing Dynasty - Naran Sex de, because of its character Rongruo, so posterity also called it Nalan Rongruo. His poem "If life is only like the first sight, what is the autumn wind and sorrow painting fan" has attracted countless reverie of posterity, and it is difficult to come out of the right on the lofty and far-reaching conception of the elegant poetry.
It is a pity that Nalan Rongruo's life was emotionally bumpy and depressed, and finally died at the age of thirty-one.
Here's a little more introduction, Nalan Mingzhu's second son Nalan Shushu is also a person with extremely deep cultural attainments, and he has been promoted to the head of the Hanlin Academy (equivalent to the highest administrative title and the highest title of the national education department). In the fifty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Nalan Yusu died, and the Kangxi Emperor personally gave him the title of "Wenduan", which indeed reflected the Kangxi Emperor's appreciation of him.
If you want to say that the most famous person of the Yehenara clan is definitely Empress Xiaoqinxian, that is, Empress Dowager Cixi, who is known as "Lafayette".

Empress Dowager Cixi actually ruled the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century as a female politician, and her life must be legendary. She went from a girl from a middle- and lower-class aristocratic family to a successor to Empress Wu Zetian, and then to the only one, becoming a female family member of the Great Unification Dynasty.
The glory of her life is also the result of her struggle and sacrifice through thorns. She experienced a sudden family change, from the original food and clothing, suddenly became indebted, life has been difficult; she has experienced court struggles, between the traditional and noble empress and the beautiful and moving li guifei who won the emperor's favor, and finally "spelled" out the identity of the imperial concubine and the empress dowager with her own wisdom and the favor of heaven; in order to obtain absolute rule, she led three coups d'état in her life, and finally eliminated all large and small "reactionary" forces In order to maintain her power, she can sacrifice her only son and her nephew and nephew, two emperors, and she can risk the world's great disobedience, declare war on the whole world like a fool, and finally end up fleeing in a hurry, and the embarrassment of embarrassment.
In addition, she can reuse Han Chen, actively encourage all kinds of rich countries and strong soldiers, and even let the Qing Dynasty, which was once on the verge of being on the verge of becoming a king, have such a trend of returning to the light of "Tongzhi Zhongxing", and she is even more because she is satisfied with personal arrogance and lavishness and love and vanity, pushing the Chinese Empire into the abyss of eternal disaster, and it is still the pain of my Chinese skin, so she was poked in the spine by posterity behind her.

Third, there are no Manchu nobles, only chinese sons and daughters
The Qing Dynasty was eventually destroyed by the torrent of history rushing forward, and was fixed as the last dynasty of China's feudal society, which carried too many vicissitudes of this ancient emperor. After the Qing Dynasty, most of the descendants of the Yehenara clan changed to Han surnames, and now most of them are mainly surnamed "Na" and "Ye", if you search on the Internet, you will see a lot of celebrities you know, and here will no longer be an example.
Because the author lives in Liaoning Province, which is a place of multi-ethnic integration, there are many colleagues and friends around me who are descendants of Yehenara, and we all live an ordinary life and contribute to the prosperity of the motherland as diligently.
