Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, did not believe in kings with different surnames, so the heroes who fought with him in the past failed to die well; a thousand years later, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the Ming Dynasty, and he also exterminated the founding heroes, and gave special preferential treatment to his own descendants, and his descendants ate the national grain but did not achieve anything, like moths, and at the time of the change of dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang's tens of thousands of descendants also did not end up with a good ending.
The Eight Flags system is the fundamental system of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty opened up and entered the customs, the Eight Flags people made great military achievements, Xiao Yong was good at war, so their descendants also enjoyed preferential policies, history went back and forth, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the eight flags children have been completely unable to fight, but there is no teacher for pleasure, and there is no need to worry about livelihood, all day long is to eat, drink and have fun.
In addition, as early as the ninth year of Qianlong (1744), the number of the eight banner disciples was already very large, and the Qianlong Emperor, in order to solve the problem of redundant personnel, moved more than 3,000 bannermen to Lalin in the Heilongjiang area, which was close to Russia and the birthplace of the Manchus.
Among the flag people who migrated to Lalin were Suo'etu, Hezhen, Aobai and other family members, who established the "Jingqi Twenty-Four Tuns" in Lalin, that is, 24 villages were set up in different directions, the villages were called "Tun", so there were "Twenty-Four Tuns", and during the Qing Dynasty they lived a "corps" life of one peasant and one soldier.
Lalin thus became the birthplace of Jingqi culture, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, the children of the Eight Flags also lost their former honors, they hid their names, sat on the mountains and skies, and even sold their mansions to maintain their luxurious lives.
The lives of the descendants of the Eight Banners who lived in Larin for a long time have not changed much as a result, and the traditions of their ancestors are still preserved today.
Many people may think that Hezhen is a Han Chinese, in fact, he belongs to the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner, the eight banners are Zhenghuang Banner, Yellow Flag, Zhenghong Banner, Zhenghong Banner, Zhengbai Banner, White Flag, Zhenglan Banner and Blue Banner, ZhenghongQi is the head of the lower five banners, in addition, Hezhen is the Niuhulu clan, Empress Xiaozhaoren during the Kangxi Period, Empress Xiaoshengxian in the Yongzheng Period, and Empress Xiaoherui in the Jiaqing Period are all Niuhulu Clan.
He Yan's greatest patron was the Qianlong Emperor, and He Yan's son Feng Shen Yin De married the Qianlong Emperor's daughter Gu Lun and Princess Xiaoxiao, and he Yan's status was thus elevated to a higher level, as a royal state relative; He Yan's daughter was married to The Kangxi Emperor's seventh son, Prince Chun You's grandson Belle Yongxun.
He yan's younger brothers Niu Hulu and Lin Yu also held important positions by their own abilities during their lifetime, and had a deep friendship with the military minister Fu Kang'an, and after marriage, they had a son and a daughter, and the daughter married Mianqing, the grandson of the Qianlong Emperor.
When He Yan was in the imperial court, the status of his people in Lalin was not low, and the descendants of the Eight Banners of Lalin paid special attention to tradition, and the Manchurian Yellow Banner man Suo Ertu was the uncle of Empress Xiaochengren, and his twelfth generation grandson He Yuqi said: "The Manchu people are large in the west, and the 'old shadows' are placed on the western wall, so in our place, Xi kang cannot sit." ”
"Old Shadow" is the portrait of the ancestors of each family, there are eight "Old Shadows" of the eight families, and now only the "Old Shadow" preserved by the people of the Hezhen Family is real, and the rest are copies, he Yuqi also revealed: The "Old Shadow" of Suo Etu was stolen in 1994.
The end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 also had a great influence on the descendants of the Eight Banners of Lalin, after which they engaged in agricultural production and worked as farmers to meet their daily needs.
