Was Emperor Qianlong a Han or a Manchu? Why

Manchu.

Emperor Qianlong, whose surname was Aixinjueluo and whose given name was Hongli, was the fourth emperor after the Qing Dynasty established the Central Plains. He reigned for sixty years and worked hard to govern, resulting in the "Kangxi and Qianlong Era" that people talk about. Among the people, Emperor Qianlong's life experience is rumored to be very bizarre, and various theories emerge one after another. One theory is that he is the son of the Chen family in Haining...

Judging from the time of Qianlong's birth and the background at that time , it is unreasonable and unfounded to say that Yongzheng was eager to adopt a son with a foreign surname as his own son. According to the emperor's genealogy "Jade Certificate", Qianlong was born in August of the 50th year of Kangxi. At that time, Prince Yong Yinzhen was thirty-four years old. He had given birth to four sons, Honghui, Hongpan, Hongyun and Hongshi (but The first three sons all died in infancy). Hongshi was eight years old when Qianlong was born, and just three months after Qianlong was born, Prince Yong gave birth to another son, Hong Zhou, and later gave birth to four more sons, including Hong Zhan. Under such circumstances, it makes no sense both emotionally and rationally for Prince Yong to secretly exchange for a Han son. On the other hand, the crown prince was deposed twice at that time, and the crown prince's reserve position has been vacant since then. The overt and covert battles for the reserve position have become increasingly fierce. With Prince Yong's shrewdness and prudence, why would he take the risk of leaving a clue to others to hold a Han child at this time? Besides, how could he know that he would definitely inherit the throne, and that the son of the Chen family would definitely become rich? At this delicate moment of "one careless move and everything is lost", Prince Yong would never take this risk.

In addition, a Manchu bannerman said in the "Royal Family Sights and Information": "With Yongzheng's wisdom, how could he allow the harem to exchange women for men?" Because according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty royal family, when the emperor's grandson was born, The prince must immediately send an eunuch from the royal palace to report verbally to the emperor at the internal affairs office of the palace, and then the Zongren Mansion will write a special report in preparation for the emperor to name his grandson; if Prince Yong's Mansion had already reported on time, If the baby is a girl, how can it be changed to a boy a few days later? This is not justified from a theoretical point of view.

Even if the legend is true and Qianlong was bought by Yongzheng from the Chen family in Haining in exchange for his daughter, then the whereabouts of this real golden branch and jade leaf should also be explained. It is said that the princess later married Jiang Pu, the son of Jiang Tingxi, an important official of the dynasty and a great scholar. The building where Mrs. Jiang lived was called the "Princess Building". But many people who are familiar with local history don't know that there is a "Princess Building" in their hometown; even the descendants of the Jiang family say they don't know. From this we can say with certainty that this matter is a rumor.

China was subjugated during the Qing Dynasty. We have been low-class citizens for nearly three hundred years under the Manchu Qing racial slavery policy. The Han people were in the status of domestic slaves in the Manchu Qing society. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, more than 30 million Chinese were massacred. Three massacres were carried out in Jiading and Yangzhou in ten days. Guangdong and Guangxi occupied Sichuan and Jiangxi occupied Hunan. The Chinese people were ridiculed by foreigners for having pigtails. They signed so many unequal treaties with foreign countries and strengthened the The centralization of power, the establishment of a literary prison and the blockade of the country, seriously hindered the progress of social science and technology, and some remarks such as preferring friendly countries not to give domestic slaves, and slaves should die, are all unprecedented in Chinese history.

As early as when the Qing army entered the customs, they carried out large-scale massacres of the Jiangnan people who resisted tenaciously. Therefore, the anti-Qing sentiment in the Jiangnan area was extremely high. Starting from Emperor Kangxi, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty adopted various methods, such as establishing the Erxue Hongci Department, recruiting Ming Dynasty survivors to compile Ming history, etc., and tried their best to win over the literati and officials of the previous dynasty, especially those in the Jiangnan area. The large number of people in the Chen family in Haining who took the imperial examination is an indisputable fact. This was related to the rulers' policy of attaching great importance to the imperial examinations and trying their best to win over the southern aristocratic families in order to eliminate the strong anti-Qing nationalist consciousness of the scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. By the Qianlong period, the prosperity of this kind of imperial examination had already become a thing of the past. Taking this as the basis that Qianlong came from the Chen family in Haining and favored the Chen family is obviously untenable.
