How pitiful was the treatment of Han people during the Manchu Dynasty? The man wrote a letter to the Manchu family and was immediately dismissed.

During the Qianlong period, Minister Hang Shijun told the emperor that "Manchu-Chinese officials were treated differently". After that, the emperor took off his black hat and sent him back to his hometown in a rage.

So, why did this matter make the emperor so dissatisfied?

During the Nurhachi period of the Qing Dynasty, the policy of "ruling Han with Manchu" was implemented. Later, Huang Taiji adjusted it to the policy of "ruling Han with Han". Finally, it was not until Kangxi came to power that it was clearly stipulated that Manchu and Han officials in the Qing Dynasty should be treated equally, even if their grades were different, they should not be biased.

However, in fact, in the process of implementation, it is not as mentioned above. The emperor's love and respect for China culture is reflected in his policy of "Manchu-Chinese integration". For example, Kangxi sent someone to build the Confucius Temple and gave Confucius a big gift of kneeling three times and knocking nine times, which reflected that Kangxi put China culture in a very high position, and Zhu's Neo-Confucianism thought was also included in the orthodox thought of Manchu Dynasty.

However, are these enough to explain the "Manchu-Chinese integration"? Actually, it's not.

First of all, Manchu and Han officials were treated unequally. This is not the first time that Han officials have played the role of emperor. Officials in Hang Shijun used to take part in competitions. For example, Wei, a famous minister in Shunzhi period, played the emperor shunzhi in the memorial, reminding the emperor to choose the governor minister carefully. It is best not to use Liao Zuojiu. Manchu ministers and Han ministers should be equal.

In addition, before this, Wei boldly said: DPRK-China relations will be stuck in the middle. Wei's statement is very pertinent, but even so, the problem of "blood stasis due to qi" has not been fundamentally solved, but has developed in a worse direction.

Manchu officials looked down on Han Chinese officials, so they naturally didn't take Han Chinese seriously. Contemporary scholars have written: "A large number of imperial troops led by Manchu nobles and officials stationed in Fujian have nowhere to live, so they seized residents' houses, and then seized residents' daily necessities, and even forced their owners to be slaves, committing a series of crimes."

They bully others in this area. A large number of people die every day in central Fujian, most of them are abused to death, and ordinary people starve to death everywhere. Working in the central Fujian area of Yao Qisheng, I can't bear to look directly at this horrible scene and try my best to protect the people. From Yao Qisheng's kindness, we can easily see that the Han people are oppressed by Manchu people.

Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, Manchu and Han were divided, that is, a "city within a city" was built, with walls on the periphery, Han people living in the middle and new walls in the middle. Manchu people live in the center, and Han people are not allowed to enter the city at will, which is similar to renting "China dogs are not allowed to enter" in later generations. It can be said that, psychologically, Manchu never regarded the Han people as one of their own.

In the Yongzheng period, although this situation improved, the superiority of Manchu in officialdom became more and more serious. Wang once recorded: "Shaanxi officials are the worst in all provinces. For decades, all important provincial officials were Manchu. These people don't even have any culture. Reading official documents is a problem. Officials don't ask people's livelihood and like to show off. "

At that time, a governor committed a crime, and in this case, he knelt in court with a prostitute. At that time, people thought this fact was a joke and immoral. Today, this is a very normal thing, which can reflect the justice of the judiciary. However, in ancient times, even prisoners were graded.

The governor is a minister and may be reinstated in a year, but what about prostitutes? Identity can only be untouchable. It can be seen that Manchu officials do not have the courtesy, integrity and shame of the Han people, nor do they have the ability to handle "official duties" skillfully. Without the ability to occupy a high position, then, naturally, this will attract everyone's dissatisfaction.

Of course, Han officials naturally want to vent their dissatisfaction by making a fuss about the "inaction" of Manchu officials. Han Chinese officials who are incompetent but want to serve the country are excluded. Therefore, there was no equal relationship between Manchu and Han in Qing Dynasty. No matter how much the ruling class of Manchu advocated the Manchu family, it was only because of the need of the rule at that time, because most of the ruled people were Han Chinese.

In February of the eighth year of Qianlong, at the request of the imperial court, all those who were willing to choose suggestions submitted an article, which was regarded as an exam. At this time, Hang Shijun was 48 years old, which was the age when he joined the imperial court. Therefore, the main argument of his topic "Current Affairs Policy" is: "Remove the boundary between Manchu and Chinese." The article also expounds that the state can't adhere to the policy of "emphasizing the full and neglecting the Han".

Although Hang Shijun talks about current affairs and politics, his language is very euphemistic, and he said many polite words. However, Gan Long thinks that Hang Shijun is out of thin air and disrespectful. In a rage, he fired Hang Shijun. As a court official, Hang Shijun naturally has a deep understanding. When he was in the imperial court, Manchu officials entered the temple by themselves, and Han officials had to wait for the roll call to enter. This is enough to show that "everything is expensive and cheap."

After returning to his hometown, Hang Shijun began a leisurely life and taught in a university in Yangzhou. He enjoyed it for decades. Free for a long time, it is inevitable to indulge, so he has the habit of indulging in money and gambling. Although he gambles, he never covets ill-gotten gains. It can be said that occasional gambling is also a great pleasure of life in Hang Shijun.

Hang Shijun is no longer a court official in North Korea. He naturally can't have freedom and prosperity at the same time, and his life is very poor. Plus, he never cared about winning or losing gambling, and soon became poor. His wife died and no one helped him with all kinds of things. In order to make a living, he opened an antique shop, in which Hang Shijun often mixed his paintings and calligraphy.

This is called "adulteration", but Hang Shijun's calligraphy is first-class, not worse than the ancients. After his death, his calligraphy works even became first-class treasures. Hang Shijun never married again. He only bought an ugly handmaid to cook and wash for himself. In the backyard of the shop, he planted some flowers and plants to kill time and enjoy himself.

Drink two pots when the income is good, and then walk around the yard drunk. Occasionally, he will close the shop and rent a good boat to play in the depths of the West Lake. After a few days, there are always strangers looking in from the door of his shop to see what is in the shop, but there are only some old paintings, broken books and other sundries, and nothing else.
