There are many historical dynasties in China, and the descendants of the royal family that remain are also huge. But with the passage of time, many royal descendants have become no different from ordinary people, and the glorious past has disappeared. The Qing Dynasty is the closest to modern times, and although many descendants of Manchu Nobles have changed their surnames, they are very clear about the history of their ancestors, and even call themselves "Brothers".
He Qingling, who was born in Liaoning, was addicted to the dream of Ago because he stumbled upon himself and Empress Dowager Cixi from the Yehenara clan. Since he is a "brother", He Qingling wears a robe and a horse coat every day, and the blind date program requires the audience and the host to kneel, just like a "noble" style!
But He Qingling's ah ge dream was destined to be just a dream, and China had no nobility for a long time.
Addicted to the "Ago Dream", unable to extricate himself
In his early years, He Qingling has been following the steps and living a low-key and ordinary life. After graduating from junior high school, He Qingling dropped out of school to work, learned the craft with his master, and became an auto mechanic. Auto mechanics are indeed not as good as brothers, but they are real jobs, and the income is not bad. Saving a little money, marrying and having children again, He Qingling's life was basically fixed. Life may be ordinary and boring, but it is true of thousands of Chinese families. However, in an accident, He Qingling's life was completely broken.
Once, when He Qingling returned to his hometown, he overheard the old man in his family talking about the history of the Qing Dynasty, and the place where he lived from childhood was the former Manchu Qing aristocratic settlement. The speaker did not have the intention of listening, and He Qingling muttered in his heart, "Will he be a descendant of the Manchu nobles?" In terms of surnames, the He surname may have been the Yehenara clan before, and it was changed to avoid disasters. This statement actually makes sense, during the Republic of China, many Manchus chose to change their surnames, such as Ai Xin Jueluo changed their surnames to Jin or Zhao.
By flipping through the family tree, He Qingling was indeed from the Yehenara clan and was in the same vein as Empress Dowager Cixi. But this is a relative who is in the same vein and belongs to the eight poles, and there is no relationship between the two at all. He Qingling believes that his surname and genealogy have proved his "aristocratic" status, and that the auto mechanics do not match the nobility at all. After quickly quitting his job, He Qingling moved closer to the "nobility" and began to wear long robes and coats in pigtails, and the children of the Qing Dynasty nobles were alive between words.
In modern China, the sacrifices of many benevolent people and heroes have been exchanged for the people's braids and easy clothes, but He Qingling has gone against the trend of history. He Qingling, who was addicted to the dream of Ago, eventually derailed from society, after all, no one wanted to be a slave. There are a large number of Manchu Qing descendants in the northeast and Beijing, although the ancestors are not the children of the Eight Banners, but no one thinks of themselves as brothers like He Qingling. He Qingling belongs to the Yehenara clan and is far inferior in status to Ai Xinjue Luoshi. If you have to say this, then doesn't He Qingling also have to salute others?
What makes He Qingling famous is a blind date. As soon as He Qingling came on the field, he was different from others in just dressing, and few people in modern society were estimated to wear Manchu qing costumes. Not only that, dressed in Manchu costumes, He Qingling asked the audience and the host to perform Manchu etiquette, and there was an uproar for a while. It is estimated that many people think that He Qingling is a comedian, or even a joke. In any case, He Qingling is famous throughout the country, and everyone knows that China has a "brother".
In fact, He Qingling could not be called Brother, only the Emperor's son could be called Brother. He Qingling called himself Brother Ah, which was really rebellious, and he was going to behead him in ancient times. The historical Yehenara clan is one of the four major tribes of the Jurchens in Haixi, and there are many celebrities, but none of them are famous in this way as He Qingling.
He Qingling's "aristocratic" status is questionable
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen tribes in the northeast continued to rise, posing a threat to the Ming regime. At the same time, the Jurchens were constantly fighting among themselves, and all the forces wanted to unify the Jurchens. At that time, the two most powerful tribes were the AisinJue Luo clan and the Yehenara clan, and the final outcome was obvious, the Ai XinJue Luo style won and unified the entire Jurchen tribe. If the Heqingling family tree is true and reliable, then his ancestors may be the Yehenara clan.
However, the Yehe clan was huge, and He Qingling only said that Zushang and Empress Dowager Cixi were distant relatives, which was too far-fetched and did not make any sense. Moreover, He Qingling did not have any thoughts of being a brother before, until he heard that he might be a Manchu Nobleman, and only then did he undergo a major change of thinking. The reason for this is unknown to the public, and it is also possible that He Qingling's work was frustrated, and he was born when Ah Ge fantasized about being on top. He Qingling's idea is understandable, but his subsequent actions are incredible.
Historically, Empress Dowager Cixi had no direct descendants to survive, but the Yehenara clan, to which she belonged, flourished. If all the descendants of the Yehenara clan wanted to have a relationship with Cixi, then Cixi did not know how many "descendants" there were. As a descendant of the Yehenara clan, He Qingling can study its culture and history, and can also tell others about the honors of his family's prominence. But asking others to perform rituals, pretending to be a brother all day, is too unrealistic and disrespectful.
Since the Xinhai Revolution, many of the Eight Flags disciples have chosen to change their surnames and not talk about yesterday's events. He Qingling's ancestors may have changed their surname to "He" precisely out of safety considerations, but He Qingling did the opposite, hyping up the identity of "Brother" and violating the ancestral instructions. Not all of the Yehenara clans were actually nobles, and there were also commoners among them. It's just that because many celebrities in the Qing Dynasty came from the clan, there were many people who were related to each other.
As early as the time of Chen Sheng's Wu Guang uprising, he said that "the prince will have a kind of xiangning", and this sentence is also applicable today.
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning?
There are indeed aristocrats in Western countries, and after the overthrow of China's feudal system, the royal family and nobility no longer exist in history. Their descendants are now no different from ordinary people, they all need to abide by the law and have long since ceased to enjoy the privileges of the past. He Qingling is not willing to live an ordinary and busy life, and he will want to copy the privileges of his ancestors before. As a result, most people think that this is a joke, adding laughter to others in vain.
So many dynasties and emperors in Chinese history, there have been countless princes and generals, and it is estimated that all of them are the descendants of nobles and celebrities. So there is no need to dwell on the past, understand that it is okay to know that publicity is no problem, that is, do not take yourself as the protagonist.
brief summary
After the noise, He Qingling has long returned to ordinary life. Life may be very ordinary, even a glance can not see the head, every day is copying and pasting. But relying on the prestige of your ancestors and fantasizing that you are still an aristocrat will only backfire. Ordinary and ordinary do not mean failure, perhaps this is what most people seek.
