The last emperor Puyi was once the master of the Forbidden City, but also the owner of the Manchu Qing Yellow Flag, even if he was once a noble status, but after the founding of New China, Puyi became an ordinary citizen, and he also needed to pay tickets to the Forbidden City like others. Looking at the places where he once lived and the living homes and daily necessities in the Forbidden City, he no longer had the right to use and touch them, because they were all cultural relics.
The eight flags system reached its peak because of the Manchu Qing regime, and also withdrew from the historical stage because of the end of the Qing Dynasty's rule, and the former eight banners were divided into the upper three banners and the lower five banners, the upper three banners were controlled by the emperor, and the flag owners of the lower five banners were the prince and belle.
Once the Eight Flags Iron Horse
How willful are the Eight Flags?
In the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Manchus, many Han courtiers who contributed greatly to the Qing Dynasty would also be incorporated into the flag people, and the courtiers with outstanding merits in the Manchus could also enjoy the treatment of "raising the flag", raising the flag is to raise the origin of this person to him, strengthen his social status, it can be said that the emperor gave a great reward to the courtiers.
There is a scene in the TV series, when He yan saw the flag owner, he immediately knelt down and called himself a "slave", even though he was a very popular subject of he was a positive red flag, and it was the flag owner who knelt down the positive red flag. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, every banner had a flag owner, and all the people in this banner were slaves of the flag owner.
Not only are there distinctions within the Eight Banners between the upper and lower levels, but they are also very different from the people. In the Qing Dynasty, the "flag people" and the people who are not in the flag treatment is completely different, the Qing Dynasty into the customs adopted a large-scale "enclosure activities, good things, such as good land, good feng shui houses are returned to the flag people, and the flag people do not have to pay taxes and labor, a variety of preferential policies make the flag people from birth doomed to eat mixed and wait for death, even if there is no work, there are also people to serve, there is also food to eat, so many flag people are good and bad work, nothing to visit the kiln, drink flower wine, physical fitness naturally becomes worse. Originally, when they Manchus first entered the customs, they were able to fight a good battle, and the problem of bending bows and shooting large eagles was not big, but after generations of food and clothing, they slowly lost their fighting spirit, each of them was like a flower, riding and shooting was all wasted, because they were too lazy to give them good land, they were too lazy to take care of it, and in the later period, the livelihood of many flag people became a problem.
Therefore, even if the flag people in the Qing Dynasty did have a lot of preferential treatment, but due to the increasing number of children of the eight flags in the back, the cake was not enough to be divided, and the ability to live was not enough, how could they be expected to bully the people? Therefore, recently, the big aunt of the Beijing bus said that she was asking others to give up her seat, condescending to insult outsiders, and as a result, she was criminally detained. She forgot that it is now a new China, even if it is a yellow flag owner, she must obediently abide by the rules of the new era, even if she is really a child of the yellow flag.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, in the Qianlong period, the Eight Banners disciples had already degenerated, and once he went to check their archery level, but they did not know if they did not check, and when they checked, they were shocked, and the arrows of those of them did not even touch the edge of the target. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, many people smoked a lot of cigarettes, the main force of which was the Eight Flags, and many of the Eight Banners in history were not as good as a generation, so even if the Qing Dynasty could continue to the present, they could only become waste in the eyes of others, and losers.
Eight Flags
The current situation of the Eight Flags
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Flags disciples actually became a derogatory term, specifically to describe those idle, homeless children, the parasites of the state, good and bad work and all other bad meanings became the explanation of this word, so now some people call themselves "Yellow Flag Disciples" to condescend, for a while I don't know whether to be angry, or to laugh at her lack of culture.
During the warlord melee, the Eight Banners were massacred on a large scale, and in Xi'an, all the Eight Banners were killed miserably, so many of the Eight Banners did not want their own surnames and changed to Han surnames to protect themselves. There are many former Eight Flags children in the entertainment industry now, such as Guan Xiaotong and Guan Zhilin, who were originally Tong Jiashi. However, they never pretended to be in this capacity, because there was really nothing to be proud of, and they would not receive any preferential treatment when they said it.
There was also a twelfth hereditary iron hat king named Yan Sen in the Qing Dynasty, who was originally a prince, and later with the fall of the Manchu Qing, he also recognized the reality, sold the calligraphy and paintings in his home and squandered it, and then pulled up a rickshaw on the street.
There is also a kind of descendant of the Eight Flags, who organizes into a place and multiplies, unlike the recent big mother who claims to be a Beijinger or a Yellow Flag, her other Eight Flags compatriots are very low-key.
In the northeast of Lalin Village, there live in the late Qing Dynasty from Beijing moved from Beijing to the eight flags disciples, although they are in the northeast, but the accent, habits or inherited from the Beijing flag people, such as the speech does not have the northeast of the bright accent with the Beijing accent, the New Year festival they all practice the same etiquette and customs as the Qing Palace opera, but also love to drink Beijing characteristics of the bean juice. There are more than 1,100 cultural relics left here, including two imperial edicts in Manchu and Han chinese, which verify that they are authentic Eight Banner disciples.
Many of the ancestors of the people living here are famous, such as the famous Hesheli Soetu in the Kangxi Period, as well as the well-known Hezhen, when they first moved to Lalin, many of them still had the superiority of the Eight Banners, and even in the era of "reclamation for the whole people" in New China, they still retained the laziness and low efficiency handed down by their ancestors. However, after decades of transformation, they are no different from other people except that their ancestors' history is different from theirs. It is that they still continue the customs of their ancestors, and weddings and funerals are held to the greatest extent.
In general, if you forget the eight flags of the past, you can now give yourself a rich and happy life, and indulging in the past and not thinking of making progress can only find the glory of the past in the ceremony.
summary
With the passage of time, the rise and fall of the Eight Banners is the end of the rule of the Qing Dynasty regime, and it is also the history of the rise and fall of the old society and the family, history tells us that even if the ancestors once had a glorious glory, even if they can shelter the descendants of several generations, but not forever, if the descendants do not fight, they will eventually lose this sense of superiority.
This history also tells us that the cultivation of children can not only think of letting the children be born to eat, spoiling, killing is a weakening of the offspring behavior, if you want the family to continue to prosper to give children not only glory and wealth, but to teach them the idea of thinking of danger in peace, teach them independence and growth.
Not only the family, for the whole society, we in China have always advocated pride in labor, relying on their own hands to bring wealth for themselves will gain everyone's respect, relying on the wealth of the family to show off their wealth to all kinds of consumption, although the eyeballs of the people, but many people also look down on them from the heart, it is the Chinese nation's spirit of self-improvement can repeatedly survive the crisis, self-improvement, not like the Eight Banners left the Qing government to lose the foundation. History has always watched all changes mercilessly, but the wise can see the secrets in various changes of the times and better live their lives.
