The eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are: yellow, white, red, blue, yellow, white, red, blue, of which the positive yellow and yellow are respected, which are directly commanded by the emperor, and their descendants are called "eight flags disciples".
The Qing Dynasty flourished and declined, and the Eight Banners also went to loneliness.
How miserable it was behind the scenery: the eight flags of the Republic of China period in the death knell.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng, Dolgun led an army into the pass, and in the struggle for the throne, Nurhaci's eighth son, Emperor Taiji, won and succeeded to the throne, thus establishing the "Mongolian Eight Banners" and "Eight Banners of the Han Army" successively, and changing the Jurchen tribe to Manchuria, so the Eight Banners established by his father Nurhaci were called the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The Eight Banners, equivalent to a social group, is composed of different ethnic groups, in addition to the Manchus, Mongolians, Han, there are other ethnic groups, members of different nationalities live under the same Eight Flags system, become "flag people" and their descendants are "Eight Flags Children", but different nationalities, treatment is also different.
As the grassroots founder of a dynasty, the Eight Flags disciples have always been good at riding and shooting, and during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, they paid great attention to the riding and shooting ability of the Eight Banners.
In the garrison set up a "training ground" for training, in the Forbidden City, open up open space, build an arrow pavilion, the emperor often came to visit the princes and ministers, the Eight Banners officers and soldiers came here to set up bows and archery, competitions, which win or lose, so as to reward the good and punish the inferior.
During the Years of Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing, in addition to conducting the necessary daily training, the officers and men of the Eight Banners would regularly come to the Mulan Paddock to hunt and learn martial arts.
Although the Eight Banners are good at riding and shooting, and they are mainly engaged in martial arts hunting on weekdays, they also attach importance to cultural education, and before entering the customs, the various departments are very prone to war and frequent wars, so they have to train frequently to strengthen themselves.
However, a country cannot sit for long if it relies only on force, so the Qing Taizu Nurhaci insisted very much on asking Mr. Shu to educate his sons, and during the reign of Emperor Taiji, he also ordered Baylor, the descendants of the ministers, to study and study.
Therefore, the Eight Flags disciples at that time were both good at riding and shooting skills and were quite interested in cultural research.
During his reign, Yongzheng had high hopes for the eight banner disciples, hoping that they would have both Wentao and Wu Strategy, keep useful knowledge in their minds, and be familiar with riding and shooting, so that they could become talents useful to the country.
Therefore, the education of the Eight Flags was implemented in an orderly manner, and in order to further carry out systematic and strict teaching for the children of the Eight Banners and the students of the world, the emperor set up the GuoziJian, went to the study room, and studied officially, accepted a group of eight flags disciples, and cultivated and created many Talents in Traditional Chinese Studies.
He is both a god and a god, an eclectic person, and gradually grows into a virtuous talent of the country.
Among them, in terms of literature, there are writers we are familiar with, such as the lyricist Naran Zhide, who are the best among the children of the Eight Banners, and there are not many talents in music, painting, calligraphy and science and technology, among which the third son of Kangxi, Yun Zhi, the sixteenth son, Yun Lu, and the fifth son of Qianlong, Yong Qi, are the representatives of the royal family, especially in calendar, mathematics, music law, And Chinese language and literature.
The glory of the Eight Flags disciples gradually appeared after the Qing army entered the customs, not only in the military aspects showed their unique talents and solid basic skills, in literature, creation, astronomical geography and other aspects of the achievements, it can be said that the Eight Flags children at that time in the environment can be described as both literary and martial arts, in the historical stage has its unique charm.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the decline of the Eight Banners</h1>
After the Qing Dynasty went through 280 years, a total of twelve emperors, after Puyi announced his abdication, the Qing Dynasty ended here, the once brilliant Eight Banners disciples suddenly fell into a situation of eating and wearing, after entering the Republic of China, it is even more so, it can be said that how beautiful it was at that time, how miserable it is now.
Puyi
At the beginning of the Republic of China, the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty still posed a score, poor and exquisite, wearing a small sunglasses when they went out, carrying a bird cage in their hands, swinging from the street, meeting acquaintances on the road, they had to bow to themselves and shout "Grandpa", but they were still very useful.
When encountering eating, there are few eldest children in the pocket, but still pay attention to eating this and drinking that, what are the rules, when it comes to paying money, the reason is a lot, hard scalp does not give money, this situation occurs every day, rubbing food and drinking, talking nonsense, holding a shelf, I am happy with it.
The fall of the Qing government caused some of the Eight Banners to lose a large amount of economic resources, and they wasted their skills for a long time, did not read books and newspapers, and improved themselves, thus creating a situation of sitting on the mountain and eating the sky.
He did not have a skill in his hands, coupled with years of pampering and pampering, extravagant life, and had long lost his former ambition, so in just twenty or thirty years, so so many Eight Flags disciples in Beijing city quickly declined.
In many film and television dramas, it can often be seen that the fallen Eight Flags disciples, with their hands in their sleeves, wearing pumpkin hats, with short hair like a shassoon cut with braids, have their heads and faces, enter the restaurant and are called grandpas, and they spend money and money in front of small stalls, intending to ask for a leftover, some of them support themselves, do hard and heavy work, but also can solve the problem of food and clothing.
However, when encountering "nobles" to reward a few more big money, they forgot their books in an instant, and still went to the restaurant, eating and drinking poorly.
This atmosphere gradually spread, so that the Eight Banners disciples who remained in the barracks also began to enjoy it, and what is more, they were more free to do whatever they wanted than the prodigal sons of the disciples in society, and during the Opium War, the gun in their hands was replaced by a cigarette stick, which became their main symbol.
There is even a related system, as a disciple of the Eight Flags, not allowed to engage in production, not allowed to do business, not allowed to make a living for themselves, not allowed to leave their own precinct, everything they do must conform to their own identity, in this narrow and idle world, inevitably to degenerate.
Smoking cigarettes, selling antiques, gambling, walking birds on the streets, lying in teahouses drinking tea, a group of people bathing in the bathhouse has become a daily routine, used to spend the only empty time and pass the day.
At the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China, the so-called Eight Banners of The Sons and Daughters jointly demanded that the government distribute grain, move out of their so-called honorable status, and arrogantly instruct others to do things for themselves, even if they had a few dollars, they quickly squandered it, and then licked their faces here to make trouble and ask for it.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > glory and decline, leaving a laughing stock</h1>
When the Qing army entered Jiayu Pass, most of the men among the Eight Banners were old and strong, most of them could ride and shoot well, and they had the courage to fight and kill on the battlefield, and after entering the pass, all the dust settled, all of them were given preferential treatment and rewards, and those who were related to the royal family ascended to the heavens one step at a time, and were named princes and ministers, prince Belle, and became the head of the staff general with their relatives.
Even the most marginal, those who have been on the battlefield have become a flag soldier, and for their "merits" they have been fed and cared for for generations, and the full flag people enjoy more favorable treatment than others.
With treatment, there must be a system, the system restricts them not to leave their own banner at will, and those in the capital cannot leave the capital at will, with the blessings accumulated by their ancestors, generations of good villains have an official title, leading a small amount of Lu Lu monthly money, just a few pieces of silver, can also barely live.
In general, those with relatively low status have to join the army to receive a piece of money and food, and when the society is stable, reproduction becomes the first thing, and the number of people in succession increases.
With the increase in the number of people, the barracks will inevitably have some scattered soldiers and brave soldiers, and some idle people have also appeared in society, but the money received by each family is fixed, so there is a situation of "more monks and less porridge", and evenly distributed, there is only a meager income, the number of places in the barracks is limited, and coupled with the exploitation of corrupt people layer by layer, even fewer can join.
Social development, hereditary replacement, slowly, a large number of flag people children will idle, living on relief every day, or poor as beggars, but there are also a small number of people who wake up, or forced by life, feel that sitting on the mountain and eating the air is not the way, so as to learn some crafts and support their families.
However, such a person has been cold-eyed and jealous by others, believing that this has buried the identity and lost the "royal" majesty, so, in terms of big data, the Eight Flags disciples have always given the impression of idleness, sitting and eating and waiting for death.
Although there were multiple reasons for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the late rulers fainted, the ministers were corrupt, and the Eight Banner Soldiers acted bravely and sloppily.
The Eight Banners became pedantic and scattered, and collapsed on the battlefield, and in order to survive, they had long forgotten the great righteousness of their homeland, which forced the Qing Dynasty to train a new army.
The formation of the new army will inevitably absorb some aspiring young people, and gradually, the rebel army will become the main force, accelerating the collapse of the Qing court.
Standing in the contemporary era, looking back on the past, we can see that if we just blindly care about our former identity, do not think of making progress, do not have real talent and practical learning, and lie down in the blessings of our ancestors in the status quo, we will eventually go to decadence and decay, if Kang Qian and the two know this, they will be afraid that they will vomit blood.
The early Eight Banners generals, Xiao Yong and good at war, fought the battlefield only for the great righteousness of the family and the country, and their lives can be said to be extremely hard.
To this day, the Forbidden City in Shenyang still retains the accommodation of the Eight Banners General when he visited Nurhaci, the small house, and the minimalist decoration conditions, which is the residence of the senior generals at that time, and the conditions of the later princes and ministers are also far away.
And the later Eight Banners disciples, living extravagantly, with blood relations, ancestors, arrogant, not thinking of making progress, and finally rotten, once upon a time, they had thought, clinging to this insignificant identity, living a life of sneaking horses, enduring the laughter and eyes of others, is it really life?
There is no shortage of people in the world who understand, but there is a shortage of people who are awake all the time.
At present, the story of the Eight Banners of the Republic of China is nothing more than a laughing stock when people talk about history.
