What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Zongrenfu was an institution dedicated to the management of imperial affairs during the Ming and Qing dynasties in China.
Objects of administration by the ZonjinFu.
Take the Qing Dynasty, for example. According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, the father of the Qing Taizu Nurhaci, Qing Xianzu Takshi, was the emperor, and the descendants who multiplied from the Tak dynasty were all members of the clan family, called "clan rooms"; the descendants of the Tak brothers belonged to the royal branch, called "Jueluo", and these people were the objects of the administration of the clan government.
The specific duties of the Zongrenfu.
The Clan Government was in charge of the royal clan roster, and it was necessary to compile the Jade Tablet on time, recording the concubines, names, knighthoods, birth and death times, marriages, titles, funerals, etc. of the children of the clan.
That is to say, the Zongren Mansion recorded in the Jade Mu is to have the status of an imperial family, enjoying the title of imperial family and the title of Feng Lu. During the Qing Dynasty, the titles of the clan were divided into twelve classes: Prince Heshuo, King of Doro County, Dorobele, Gushan Beizi, Duke of Feng'en Zhenguo, Duke of Feng'en Fuguo, Duke of Bafen Zhenguo, Duke of Bafen Fuguo, General of Zhenguo, General of Fuguo, General of Fengguo, and General of Feng'en. Other clans below General Feng'en enjoyed the treatment of four pin officials. The Twelve Iron Hat Kings of the Qing Dynasty were hereditary titles, while the other clan titles were inherited and demoted by one level.
We often see in historical dramas that some imperial families were imprisoned in the ZongrenFu or removed from the Jade Palace by the Zongrenfu, which was a very severe punishment for the Imperial Family, and it was also the specific work of the Zongrenfu.
The official office of the ZongrenFu was set up.
Zongrenfu was first established in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty system and established zongrenfu during the Shunzhi period. The Zongren Mansion has a Zong ling, who is served by a prince or a county king; there is a left and right Zongzheng, who is served by Baylor or Beizi; there is a left and right Zongren, who is served by the Zhenguo Gong and the Fuguo Gong, and the remaining low-level officials such as Qi Xinlang, Jue Luo, Lang Zhong, and the Chief Minister.
It can be seen from the above that in fact, the Zongren Mansion is similar to the folk ancestral hall, and the emperor is the patriarch of the ancestral hall, and all the family affairs are decided by the emperor, while the Zongren Mansion is responsible for the handling of specific affairs.
