As the main force of the Qing Dynasty, how did the children of the Eight Banners decline?

Children of the Eight Banners, in the eyes of most people, are a controversial group. Because of historical reasons, people's attention to the children of the Eight Banners has never declined.

In the history of the late Qing dynasty, the so-called children of the Eight Banners were like this and enjoyed it. Men don't have any jobs and don't work. They just drink tea, play cricket, walk birds, gamble and do some black sheep actions in the teahouse every day. And women, on such days, mix day by day, eat and drink. It can be said that such children of the Eight Banners are very annoying.

After all, in the late Qing Dynasty, many people could not eat or live. Some people can't support themselves, let alone their families, even if they have paid all the labor. Children of the Eight Banners, enjoying the care of the Qing government, live day by day, which is really disgusting.

But in fact, in the initial distribution of the children of the Eight Banners, it was still more particular. Before the Qing army entered the customs, it had divided the army into four flags. The earliest four flags were originally compiled by Manchus, which can be regarded as the most distinguished existence. Later, with the continuous expansion of the Qing army, four flags were added. In other words, from yellow, red, white and blue, there are yellow, red, white and blue banners. This is what people call the primitive children of the Eight Banners.

At first, the Eight Banners were good at riding and shooting, but interestingly, even though Manchu shouted the danger of sinicization, their children lost their fighting spirit in pleasure. As a result, in the Qianlong period, he deeply felt the weakness of the children of the Eight Banners, which forced him to vigorously advocate the so-called "riding and shooting in Mandarin". To tell the truth, this thing, that is really not easy.

Therefore, even if Qianlong tried hard, he still didn't make it, because the children of the Eight Banners were decadent! As a result, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners had given up on themselves. Therefore, their existence is no longer worthy of respect, but is constantly criticized.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, these children of the Eight Banners and people with complicated Manchu surnames all chose to remain anonymous and use Han surnames. Do you know how the Chinese surname changed in the eyes of these Manchu people?

Let me start with Tong Jiashi. Most of the descendants of this surname are children, which not only retains part of the original surname, but also conforms to the general trend. The other name is Guarga, changed a little, and directly became Guan. Guan Xiaotong, our familiar Chinese daughter, is the descendant of this surname. This also makes netizens call her "Beijing Gege"! And the name Majiashi became the name Ma.

Then came the so-called Suo Chuo Roche, who also used the word Suo directly as their surname. Hersery Hala also used the word Hector as his last name. Later, Focha and Nora chose the same way. The singer Na Ying is also a descendant of this surname. Then a special cow Kulu appeared, and they changed their surname to Lang.

The most curious royal family, Aisingiorro, is not the surname in the Eight Banners, but it is a royal family name, which has attracted many people's attention. This surname, in later years, some people chose the surname "Jin" because in Manchu, their surname means "Jin". On the other hand, some people choose to use the word "Qi" as their surnames. We are familiar with Mr. Qi Gong, a painter and calligrapher.

It can be said that the children of the Eight Banners also have many marks about the times. In order to adapt to the times, most of them choose to hide their real surnames, and then use this new China surname to satisfy their lives, also to show that they are different from before.

Mr. Lao She, known as the people's artist, is a Manchu standard bearer. He once mentioned that when he was a standard bearer, he wrote his own article "Under the Red Flag". In this story, Mr. Lao She showed us a more real Manchu life. In his statement, people listed under the flag can't leave the flag at will, let alone learn the craft, which will cause others' contempt. Therefore, such children of the Eight Banners, with more and more people and less money, became what we saw later. It doesn't matter to them no matter how hard life is. Therefore, they are addicted to their own happiness and don't want to wake up.

In fact, the decline of the children of the Eight Banners is really not a simple decline. They represent their own group and history. Times always change like this. If you dwell on the past, you will inevitably suffer. Later, the children of the Eight Banners followed the times and changed their surnames. Isn't it a helpless compromise?
