"Give me a seat," a middle-aged aunt said angrily to the female passengers in the seat, just because the female passengers got up a little slower, the attitude of the mother was even more arrogant: "Stinky, look at your appearance is not a Beijinger, go to Beijing to eat." ”
After being refuted by the woman, the eldest aunt said in a more arrogant tone: "I have lived in Tiananmen Since I was a child, that is the Shangsanqi people, and there are Tongtian patterns!" ”
This is a real case that happened on a bus in Beijing at the end of May 2021, as soon as the incident came out, it immediately set off an uproar on the Internet, the Qing Dynasty died out more than 100 years ago, and has entered the modern society, how can anyone still enjoy privileges in the name of the Qing Dynasty?
But in fact, this kind of incident is not a special case, compared with Zhou Youqian, this kind of behavior of the big mother is simply a small witch. Who is he? What ironic things happened to him?

According to Zhou Youqian, his original name was Ai Xin Jue Luo Zhou Di, his ID card is this name, with the settlement in Guangzhou, grandpa specially gave him a Han name, that is, Zhou Youqian.
In addition, in order to catch up with the trend of the times, he also gave himself an English name "Dick", because he has always regarded himself as a Royal Nobleman of the Qing Dynasty, and many foreigners call him "Yellow Dick".
In his own impression, his father has always been an important official of the Qing Dynasty, always maintaining a sincere heart for the country, although the Qing Dynasty has died, but has always educated his children, must remember the kindness of the ancestors, so often take his children to Beijing, Shenyang and other places to worship their ancestors.

He also told them that he was a descendant of the Aisin Kyora royal family, and that by the royal family he was referring to was Dolgun, and that Shudi was his tenth descendant. However, his father also told him that since he lived in Guangzhou, he should move closer to the Han nationality, and all kinds of rules on weekdays should be Sinicized, and he could not wear Manchu costumes, nor could he tell outsiders about his royal status at will.
Anyone who has watched the TV series knows that in the Qing Dynasty, his father was always called "Amma", but in order not to attract the attention of others, Zhou Di's father always asked his children to call themselves "Uncle" in order to preserve this tradition.
And Zhou Di's unusual experience since childhood also made him deeply aware of his royal status, he had shown many times that he had a small scar on his left hand, and among them, there was a big deal, when he was a child, Zhou Di had six fingers, but because his father was afraid that Zhou Di would be discriminated against, he took him to the hospital to remove the extra fingers.

Speaking of this, Zhou Di was still full of sighs, as if the fingers of that year would be able to prove his extraordinary life even more. While telling the people around him, Zhou Di also showed everyone his family tree, and opened the book, which clearly recorded the special mark of Zhou Di's childhood.
Zhou Di's father had a total of ten children, Zhou Di was actually in an embarrassing situation, ranking seventh, even so, among all the brothers and sisters, only Zhou Di deeply remembered what his father said, and according to Zhou Di's words, if the Qing Dynasty still exists, he is a prince in a high position.
Although Zhou Di tried his best to explain his extraordinary origins, he did not have the talent of Dorgon, and unlike our understanding of the royal family, Zhou Di's grades in schoolwork were not outstanding, and he gave up studying only after graduating from high school and began to circulate in society.
Beginning in 1976, the state became Zhiqing and then moved to Hong Kong, but his work was unskilled and required physical labor.
Working for a long time in a dirty and miserable environment is in stark contrast to the extraordinary mentality that has been formed for a long time, which makes Zhou Di's heart full of reluctance and anger. "How can a prince of his own rank honor and lower his nobility and do such hard work?" Therefore, in his spare time, he often balances the dissatisfaction in his heart through a hint of fantasy.
But later, this illusory comfort could not satisfy the state's bitterness, so when he entered the 21st century, he decided to restore the etiquette system of the Qing Dynasty in his home first, and gradually converged towards the end of the Qing Dynasty in terms of lifestyle. Two years later, Zhou Di began to grow his hair, dragging a long, twisted braid behind his head, wearing a specially customized bright yellow clear suit.

The decoration of Zhou Di's home is completely in accordance with the decoration style of the royal palace, hundreds of square meters of buildings, since entering, looking around, all are covered with bright yellow, wallpaper and tables and chairs and other large furniture needless to say, even the small hooks in the kitchen are unique bright yellow.
The layout of the restaurant and study is more like the Qing Palace, the restaurant is a clay kang style, and a large Luohan bed is placed in the study, which is convenient for friends to drink tea and chat when visiting.
The arrangement in the living room is even more exaggerated, without any concealment, and the purpose is the portrait of Nurhaci and Dolgun and the tablets from nowhere. There are naturally sacrifices at the tablets, and in addition to burning incense, out of respect for the ancestors, the fruits worshipped before the portrait are changed every day.

The roof arrangement is full of restoration of the Qing Dynasty, the flag symbolizing the Eight Flags is inlaid with the roof, and the swords and bows and arrows hanging on the walls also name the country that the Qing Dynasty was established on horseback. In addition to the lifestyle and upholstery to show his royal status, more absurd things are yet to come.
In terms of marriage, Zhou Di adhered to the Manchu tradition and resolutely refused to marry a Han Chinese, so his wife was also a Manchu. For the husband's unusual behavior, the wife also showed great acceptance.
In a reporter interview, the reporter had personally seen the scene of the husband and wife getting along, and was greatly shocked. At the time, Zhou Di was talking to reporters, and after a while, his wife returned.

Only to see that the person wearing a flag suit first performed an irregular blessing to Zhou Di, and then asked his husband, "Wang Ye, who is this woman next to you?" ”
Zhou Di replied, "Fu Jin, this is a reporter who came to visit." When he heard the conversation between the two, the reporter felt very curious, so he asked Zhou Di: "Do you and your wife usually call each other like this?" ”
Zhou Di felt even more proud of the reporter's shock: "We have called each other this way three years ago, he wants to maintain Manchu etiquette, not only that, but our son also needs to ask the two of us to say hello every morning." ”

And these two children of pure Manchu blood did not behave as the couple expected, and there was a clear intellectual weakness. For his son's performance, Zhou Di did not seem to care, he thought that his son was a late bloomer, and would get better and better in the future, and did not have to worry about his past life.
With more and more interviews with him, Zhou Di also gradually became a little fluttery, in his daily life, slightly unsatisfactory, he took out his descendant identity, hoping to win special treatment, and the big trouble at the railway station came out, and spread the clown role of Zhou Di to all parts of the country.
At the mouth of the Guangdong Railway Station in 2005, because the New Year was approaching, people were anxiously waiting at the window, hoping to buy a ticket back to their hometown and relieve their homesickness. But at this moment, the arrival of a person instantly attracted all the eyes, and the most conspicuous thing was his bright yellow coat, with a large braid behind his head.
Figure | eye-catching state of Di
At that time, Hanfu was not yet popular in the country, this decoration was no different from the strange costume in the eyes of the people at that time, with the increase of people's attention, Zhou Di was more proud in his heart, he thought he was superior to everyone else, and the words he said next showed this arrogance of the world to the fullest.
The staff only looked at him a few more times, and then asked him to show his ID to buy tickets, which was a necessary procedure, but Zhou Di looked at the other party and treated him like an ordinary person, and he did not feel angry in his heart. "Do you know who I am?" How dare you ask me to show my ID? ”
Although the staff was surprised to hear this, they still said to the other party in a good voice: "Comrade, please show your ID." ”
For the staff's explanation, Zhou Di felt slighted, and then said: "I have the blood of the Manchu Qing royal family and nobles in my body, and I am the tenth grandson of Dolgun, do you still want to see my documents?" For the state Di's nonsense, the staff had to say in the right color: "Comrade, if you want to buy a ticket, you must show your id." ”
Although the staff repeatedly stated, Zhou Di ignored it and continued to make a big fuss at the window, not knowing whether he felt a little tired, and directly moved a stool to sit at the window, so that the people queuing up behind to buy tickets were greatly affected.
In order to solve this farce as soon as possible, the staff can only solve their own leadership, after inviting Zhou Di to the office, Zhou Di did not see the negative impact of his move, but thought that the people at the ticket office were afraid of their prominent status, so they were even more unforgiving about this matter.
Figure | State Di making trouble at a train station
Zhou Di who came to the office seemed to regard this place as his home, lifted his robe, and sat grinning at his desk, the person in charge first made a simple understanding of Zhou Di's situation, and when asking for his name, Zhou Di proudly said: "Ai Xin Jue Luo Zhou Di", in which he bit the four words of Ai Xin Jue Luo extra heavy, as if to show his identity.
When asked why he was making trouble at the window, Zhou Di said that there was a dispute over the purchase of tickets, and he wanted to buy a ticket to Beijing in two weeks, but was told that the ticket was sold out, but he did not want to give up, so he ran to another window to exchange for a ticket with aristocratic privileges.
After understanding the situation at that time, the person in charge patiently persuaded: "The number of tickets sold every day is fixed, and the ones sold out on that day can be changed to another time period." But Zhou Di was very dissatisfied with the solution of the person in charge: "You dare to speak to the prince of the Great Qing in this way, if it were not for the decline of our Great Qing, I would not have had to talk to such a nameless pawn as you." ”
Listening to Zhou Di's unashamed words, the anger in the person in charge's heart was also instantly ignited, and he directly said to the other party: "It was destroyed early in the morning, where is there a prince?" Sold out is sold out, and no one has any extra tickets. ”
Watching the tone of the person in charge increase, and even more arousing the dissatisfaction in Zhou Di's heart, he immediately took out his identity card and genealogy to prove his aristocratic status to the other party, more strictly: "If it is based on generations, I am the cousin of the last emperor Puyi." ”
Until this time, the person in charge knew that the person in front of him was the Manchu Qing royal family, who had been controversial some time ago, and it was enough to dream at home, and he also made trouble at the railway station.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to further express his aristocratic remarks, the person in charge immediately picked up the pager and warned Zhou Di: "If you pick quarrels and provoke trouble at the train station again, we can only call the police." ”
Seeing that the police were coming, Zhou Di began to be afraid, but he did not want the identity of "Wang Ye" to fall in price, so he reluctantly said to the person in charge: "Wait until I take the Forbidden City down, see what you still say!" And for Zhou Di's wishful remarks, the person in charge only watched a joke.
Some people here may ask, not to mention the abolition of privileges after the founding of the country, that is, the identity claimed by the state di, is highly credible?
Since we want to explore this remark, we must start with one person, that is, the ancestor that Zhou Di has always remembered, Dolgun, who was the fourteenth son of the Qing Taizu Nurhaci and made great contributions in the process of entering the Qing Dynasty, and this military warrior who lived a lifetime did not receive preferential treatment from heaven and died in his 30s.
For Dorgon's heirs, the historical records are also very clear, although he has many wives and concubines, he has only left one daughter, that is, Aisin Kyora Donggu, so what is the direct bloodline of Dorgon that Zhou Di said?
Originally, after Dorgon's death, the emperor was grateful that Dorgon had no successor, so he passed on the children of his brother Dorgon to his royal palace, this person was Dolbo, if Zhou Di was a descendant of Dolbo, then his claim that Dorgon's descendants were still forgivable, but in this regard, the president of the Guangzhou Manyan Association still had a skeptical attitude towards the identity of Zhou Di.
Figure | Wang Zongyou
According to The President Wang Zongyou, they have conducted a detailed investigation and study of the Manchus living in Guangzhou, and now count that there are more than 6100 descendants of the Manchu Eight Banners in Guangzhou, and their ancestors came to Guangzhou as early as the Qianlong period, and have now been passed down to the eighth and ninth generations.
Among these descendants, they all have a fairly well-preserved family tree, and they all spend their days in the Manchurian Seminar, so they are quite familiar with each other, but they have never heard of such a person as Zhou Di.
And Zhou Di's own statement is also debatable, Zhou Di once said that their ancestors probably moved to Guangzhou in 1650, from the age of calculation, it is impossible to have a tenth generation of heirs, even if it is a Manchu who has already migrated to Guangzhou, only eight or nine generations, how can he suddenly cross the past and become the tenth generation?
If you take the genealogy of the state Di to calculate, the tenth generation of the claim is even more nonsense, it should be the 14th generation of descendants, in any way, the tenth generation of the claim is completely unfeasible.
In addition to the problems in genealogical traceability, vice president Tong Shun also has great doubts about the Han surname changed by Zhou Di. Since Puyi's abdication, the Manchus have changed their surnames in order to get rid of the embarrassing situation, but when everyone changed their surnames, it was not without basis.
As far as the close branches of Aisin Kyora are concerned, most of them have changed to the Jin clan, and the more distant collateral lines have been changed to tong, Ai, Bai and other surnames, since Zhou Di claims to be a direct descendant of Dorgon, why not change the surname to Zhou with the same surname as others?
Figure | Guangzhou Manyan Research Conference
Moreover, Tong Shun also took out the business card left by Zhou Di at the Man research conference, and the word "YuDi" was written on it, which was a big problem.
Even if the Qing Dynasty declined, but in some aspects of the rules is still quite strict, especially the descendants of Ai Xin Jueluo, in the arrangement of generations is also quite rigorous, should be named in the order of "Zai, Pu, Yu ..." , since Zhou Di claims to be Puyi's cousin, then how can it become a Yu character generation?
Moreover, in the ancestral system, it was stipulated that as a descendant of the Eight Flags, they could never do business, and this rule was not abolished until after liberation. In the genealogy of The State Di, the history of his ancestors' business is impressively listed, if it is really the descendants of Dorgon, and has not forgotten the grace of the ancestors, how can they forget the rules of the ancestors in the blink of an eye?
In response to the remarks made by Vice President Tong Shun, some people expressed different views, saying that the surname taken by his family was the surname of Zhou, which was different from the surname used by the direct family of Ai XinJueLuo for many years.
Moreover, according to the regulations at that time, the distance between the place and the city could not exceed forty miles, and he grew up in the four courtyards of Hokusai since he was a child, which obviously did not conform to the ancestral system, and even the descendants of the Qing court would make different changes and could not be conclusive.
In response to the questioning of the Guangzhou Manyan Association, Zhou Di did not explain this, but as if he disdained to be with the Manchu Research Association, he said contemptuously to the other party: "The actions I have made now are all to pass on the will of the ancestors and protect the culture of my ancestors, no matter what you say, it will not change my current behavior." ”
In the face of doubts from all walks of life, Zhou Di did not restrain himself, but became more radical, he had rushed to Fushun to visit his so-called "cousin" Puyi when worshipping his ancestors, and he felt sorry for Puyi's unfortunate and angry behavior like ordinary people, and Puyi was also very surprised by his appearance and remarks.
He scolded sharply: "Now that we have entered modern society, what is he doing with long pigtails and a horse coat?" Don't have inappropriate ideas about the Qing Dynasty anymore, you are just seeking a little privilege for yourself in the name of the Qing Dynasty royal family. But now no matter how you toss it, you won't get it. Even the nobility is no different from ordinary people, is it not okay to live a life like this? ”
Although Zhou Di's behavior was strongly opposed by Puyi, he still stuck to his previous ideas, not only did he not change his mind, but his later behavior can be called madness. His hair was getting longer and longer, and it was already difficult for him to take care of it, and he needed Fu Jin's help every time.

After sorting out his appearance, he would solemnly take out the bright yellow coat he had collected for many years and carefully wear it on his body, as if he was holding some kind of ceremony.
Whenever he eats out, he will prepare a card in advance, which clearly states his requirements for ingredients, avoiding repeated explanations with the waiter again, just like the source of the word His Majesty, Tianzi never has a direct conversation with the courtiers, but through the guards, he has shown his honorable status.
Zhou Di was forever immersed in the illusions he had created for himself, he clung to the royal identity that he never knew if it was true, he did not realize how ridiculous his actions were, as the saying goes, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Time flies, the years are fleeting, no matter how great a feat you have achieved before you died, how great a grand event you have created, after death it has finally turned into a piece of yellow earth, and heroes like The Qin Emperor Han Wu are drowned in the torrent of history, not to mention the State Di who once made a big fuss.
Since the founding of New China, we have said no to all privileges, and those who have been treated well by history are all people with lofty ideals who have been continuously struggling for the rise of the Chinese nation because of their own noble virtues, and those who have been obsessed with power all their lives have finally become clowns and spurned by the world.
