What was the fate of those flag-bearers after the demise of the Qing Dynasty? It is said that some of them make a living by collecting rags and begging every day.

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the fate of those flag bearers was naturally tragic. It is not impossible to make a living by collecting rags and begging, because at that time, banners became a burden to the court. In order to reduce these burdens, the court had to limit the existence of banners, thus reducing its own burden and letting these banners choose their own jobs. But these standard-bearers used to live a pampered life and they knew how to make money.

19 1 1 After the revolution, the Manchu lost its political power and the imperial court actually became a senior prisoner. Some people can still live freely, that is, the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He has many fertile fields and many gold and silver gems, so these people still live a carefree life. However, some people have lost their financial resources and don't know how to live at all. They haven't even worked by themselves all their lives. It is a day when you are naked and can't make ends meet. Many people have never even gone out to buy baked wheat cakes in their whole lives.

In fact, this is not just a matter of baked wheat cakes. The key point is that these banners have lost their basic living ability and lived a poor life overnight. Some people beg in the streets, some collect junk, some starve to death, some even want to steal their own graves in order to survive, and some female flag-bearers sell themselves as prostitutes to get the expenses needed for life.

From this point of view, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the fate of those standard-bearers was extremely tragic. It is true that some people make a living by collecting rags and begging every day, and some people make a living by selling themselves. It can be seen how ignorant the standard-bearers were at that time. When he is rich, he can't even learn to survive. When he has no money, he has to live without dignity.
