introduction
It is said that Manchuria has eight major surnames, including Guarjia, Tongjia, Suoqiluo, Majia, Qijia, Fucha, Nala, and Niuhulu. But only love the surname of Shin Kyora, love new Kyora must be no stranger to everyone. The royal surname of the Qing Dynasty was called Ai xin jueluo, which became a symbol of the royal family.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, desperately wanted to be with the Mengmen clan, and the emperor also wrote a "Surname Record" to improve his status. How did the surname of emperor Ai Xinjueluo of the Qing Dynasty come about, how did it rise, and what is the meaning of it?
The legend of the surname Aisin Kyora
We all know that Manchuria came from the three major jurchen ministries. The ancestors of the Manchus also established the Jin Dynasty. How did Aisin Kyora's surname come about, and there is a beautiful legend in it, which has also been written into the history books.
Legend has it that there are three fairies in heaven, called each
Engulun, Zhenggulun, Fogulum
They came to bathe in Boer Lake near Changbai Mountain. After the three fairies had finished bathing, a fairy bird came, and this fairy bird still had a vermilion fruit in its mouth. The fruit fell on the skirt of Fogulen.
The legend of Aisin Kyora
When Vogulum saw this fruit, it was like magic, and he ate it. After eating it, Fo Gu Lun became pregnant, and the other fairies wanted to go back, but Fo Gu Lun was too heavy in his belly to fly, so he did not follow his sister back to heaven. And then he gave birth to a child.
The last name is Aisin Kyora, and the name is Bukuri Yongshun
。
When Bukuri Grew up, he became a tall man and quelled the rebellion of the three surnames at that time, and the people at that time embraced him as Belle, leading the people to live in the city of Odoli, forming a Manchurian tribe, and the surname of Aisin Kyora also became the surname of the ancestors of Manchuria.
This legend has been circulating since Nurhaci's reign, and it was still circulated until after the Qing army entered the customs, and it was written into the history books. So, is there really a Bukuri Yongshun person?

According to historians who study the history of the Qing Dynasty, the birthplace of Manchuria, its original ancestor, that is, Bukuli Yongshun, can only be barely called the ancestor of Manchuria.
The ancestors originated in the area north of the Heilongjiang River, and the scholar Li Lin further examined that the specific location was in Liusitun, Jiangdong
The ancestor of Manchuria had a name named Timur the Fierce Brother.
The origin of Manchuria began with Nurhaci, but according to scholars, the origin of the surname Aisin Kyora was in 1616 AD, after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. And ai Shin Kyora's last name and jue
Ercha and Irgen Jueluo are the same surname as Đại Lohara, which can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty.
The evolution of the surname Aisin Kyora
In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Timur, a fierce brother of the Jurchens, led his tribe from songhua river to the vicinity of the Tumen River, and later moved to the vicinity of the Amu River. Later, with the help of the Han people,
Timur became the leader of the Jurchens of Jianzhou.
Timur, the fierce brother in the film and television drama
Later, timur and his brother led their tribe to the Suzi River valley. The surname of Jueercha also moved with the tribe, and the earliest ancestor of the Aixin Jueluo family was
Muntemu
, that is, the fierce brother Timur. According to historical sources and many sources, it is shown that the Kyaw Ercha clan and the Aisin Kyora were originally the same sect.
According to the history books of the Ming Dynasty,
The surname of the Jurchen clan is Jiawen, and the homophone is also called Jiagu. However, the surname of the Han people is called Tong, and the homophone can also be called Tong
。 And the tradition of the Jurchens is that they like to prefix their names with the Surname of Han. Until the time of Nurhaci, he also liked to be named Tong, and the historical records of the Ming Dynasty called Nurhaci as Tong Nurhaci.
Even Nurhaci himself claimed to be himself
The Jurchen Jianzhou Wei guan Shu Yi lord Tong NurHaci
。 Since the Han surname is Tong, the surname of the clan will naturally not change.
Nurhaci in the film and television drama
Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the surname of Aixin Jueluo was Jueluo. For example, Hou Jin had a chancellor, who was originally from the Tong Jia clan, and after following Taizu, he gave him the surname Jue Luoshi, which was pronounced the same surname as Jiagu according to the Manchu language.
But when did Jue Luoshi add "Love New"? Friends who are familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty know that after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to love Xinjueluo,
"Love New" translates to Gold.
Aisin Kyora means descendants of the Jin Dynasty, to represent descendants of the Jin dynasty, but this claim was quickly opposed.

The meaning of Nakajin in Aisin Kyora is not the gold of the Complete Yen Kim clan, but refers to the "gold" of the later gold. And Kyaw Lo is a surname to show his honor and distinguish him from the same sect, so Ai Xin is just a badge.
In the "Records of the Qing Taizu", it is recorded that Ai Xin, Hua Yan Jin Ye, Jue Luo surname also.
Love the Shin Kyora family
Therefore, in addition to having a direct line of the Ai Shin Kyora family, the Kyora family
There are still many Kyaw Lo surnames, such as Ilgen Kyaw Lo, Shu Shu Kyaw Lo, Aha Kyaw Lo and so on.
In this way, Jueluo is still a big surname in Manchuria. However, in the history of the Jin Dynasty, there is no trace of it. It may be that the relatives and families in the tribe at that time joined in large numbers.
In the "Records of Donghua", it is recorded that those who respect this dynasty are said to be in the east and not in the same part as Dajin, then what they see is that the special I have been given the surname of Ai Xinjue Luoshi, Chinese is said to be Jin Yue Aixin, which can be the proof of the same school of Jin Yuan, gai I did not taste the obedience of the Yan clan when I was in the Great Jin, and the completed Yan clan is a subject of my dynasty today, and the servant Putian leads the soil to unify in one respect. For example, the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties are not the servants of their victorious countries.
The Qing Dynasty also stipulated that all the descendants of the brothers of the Aixin Jueluo family should tie a golden belt, and these people, still called Jueluo, should tie a red belt. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Jueluo became the surname of a distant relative.
The Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once talked with his grandson, the later Yongzheng Emperor, about the surname Ai xinjueluo. Kangxi asked Ai Xinjueluo what the meaning of the surname was? Qianlong replied that this was the meaning of gold. Kangxi asked Qianlong again: Is gold the most precious thing in the world? Qianlong replied again: No, benevolence and righteousness are.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Ai Xin Jue Luo, that is, a large number of royal branches and leaves, after nearly 300 years of development, the original only
The Aisin Kyora family, which has more than 200 people, has evolved into a large family of hundreds of thousands.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, where did Ai Xinjue Luo go?
Mr. Qi Gong, a descendant of Aisin Kyora
epilogue
The Ai Xin Jue Luo family was changed to the Han surname of Jin, and those who were really closely related to the royal family were generally very low-key, like the famous calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong, who was the ninth grandson of the Qing Emperor Yongzheng, but he was very repulsive to this. However, there are also people who are very proud of this, like the painter Ziwei who is proud of it. Others, changed their surnames to Zhao. The Aisin Kyora family has since disappeared from the stage of history.
