Not long ago, a small video went viral about a sixty-something mother insulting a young lady on a bus.
The reason for the insult is roughly that she believes that the woman did not give up her seat for the first time, and in her insults, it is full of discriminatory meanings, and it is worth mentioning that she also specifically mentioned that she is a yellow flag person with a heavenly pattern.
Obviously, the big mother is proud of her identity as a descendant of the Yellow Banner, and the Yellow Banner believes that everyone knows that one of the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is named after the pure yellow color of the flag, and one of the three banners has the largest population of soldiers.
Tongtian pattern presumably many people do not know what it means, in the past, the eight flag children do not need to work, so their skin is very well maintained, the forehead only one or a few lines, some flag people think that this is a noble sign, so it is a tongtian pattern, of course, this tongtian pattern can have nothing to do with the yellow flag.
After the remarks of the big mother who thought she was superior came out, many people were shocked, and now there are still people who are proud of this status, and the big mother has now been punished accordingly.
Many people joked that if it were not for this good era, I am afraid that this grandmother's ancestor would have been killed long ago, and how could she be now.
So after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, what was the life of the children of the Eight Banners? After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the newcomers raised some nobles, including Puyi, for a period of time.
However, it does not include all the Eight Flags disciples, only a small number of important nobles, after all, the number of eight flags children is too much, in fact, the eight flags children did not enjoy anything before entering the customs, after entering the customs, they basically received preferential treatment for generations, but most of them are just ordinary people.
However, no matter how bad it is, they also have certain privileges, and they are idle every month, relying on the blessings of their ancestors to receive monthly money, and after a few generations, they are completely abolished.
After Puyi announced his abdication, the most uncomfortable thing was these ordinary Eight Banners disciples, because the Qing Dynasty was the foundation of their survival, and the Qing Dynasty suddenly disappeared, which meant that they had no source of income.
So many eight flags children, not all of them are well mixed, most of them live on monthly money, suddenly without this income, they can only find jobs and work hard to make a living.
Some families with thick foundations, they live by selling the treasures in their mansions, and they can barely survive for a while, it is worth mentioning that at that time, some of the poorer eight flag children of the family directly left the capital to make a living.
Leaving aside these Eight Banners disciples, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, even the princes could not stand it, because their usual lives were very luxurious, and suddenly without the support of the Manchu Qing, it was very difficult.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to be frugal from luxury, so these princes have begun to sell their ancestral property, and the most exaggerated thing is that there is also a prince's family, and the sale of his own prince's mansion is not complete.
In order to continue to maintain a high standard of life, he directly dug up his ancestral grave and sold the treasures inside, which was a joke at the time.
In addition, there are also princes pulling rickshaws, of course, there are still some nobles who maintain very well, even now their descendants are living very well, this is a smart person, will take care of the family property, but it is obvious that the big aunt is not the descendant of this kind of person, I really don't know where she came from.
