I don’t know when it started. , the so-called “middle class” represented by Tian Pujun is increasingly liking to mention “noble spirit”.

In their opinion, there are no "nobles" who "has courage to take responsibility", "artistic cultivation", "noble morality" and "a sense of honor". Now, there are only nouveau riche in China and no nobles.

So the question is, what exactly is a noble?

To be precise, the thing " aristocrat" is synonymous with the ruling class in slaves and even feudal society, mainly focusing on family and bloodline.

The title of nobles, such as title and title, are all rewards received from the royal family , inherited from generation to generation. has nothing to do with the several beautiful qualities mentioned above.

Even if you are a turtle bastard who is referred to by thousands of people, but because your father is the King of Zhennan, you are still a nobleman. As a socialist republic, China cannot have nobles at present, nor does it need aristocrats.

Did there be any nobles in the past? Of course there are, such as the Aisin Gioro family that is closest to us.

is good. It is just before

talk about Aisin Gioro, let me briefly talk about their ancestors.

According to the mainstream view, the ancestors of the Manchu people were first called "Su Shen" , and is one of the earliest indigenous peoples in Northeast . They are mainly distributed in today's Ussuri River Basin and Changbai Mountain area. They have been connected with the Central Plains during the Shunyu period. The history books of the Warring States Period called them "Yilu", the historical books of the Southern and Northern Dynasties called them "Wuji", and the historical books of the Sui and Tang Dynasties called them "Mihe".

The Marine at that time included seven tribes, Sumo, Baishan, Bodu, Anchegu, Funi, Haoshi, and Heishui. The Sumoji in later evolved into the Bohai Kingdom , which was mentioned in history textbooks.

During the Tang Dynasty, Heishui Mohe was one of the young followers of the Bohai Kingdom

Hundreds of years later, the Khitans rose up and destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, moved their people southward, Heishui Mohe picked up a leak and became the new owner of the original Bohai Kingdom land; During the Five Dynasties, Heishui Mohe was called " Jurchen " (in order to avoid the taboo of Yelu Zongzhen of Liao Xingzong, he changed it to the end of the Ming Dynasty).

Jurchen main body is divided into three parts:

  • Jurchens living in Liaodong area, are called mature Jurchens or Liao Jurchen ;
  • Jurchens living in Songhua River in a vast area, are called Jurchens, or are not Liao Jurchen ;
  • who live in between are called Huiba (also known as Uighur) Jurchen .

Wanyan Aguda is the birth of Jurchen

As the territory of the Jin Dynasty continued to expand, many Jurchens also moved south, and they gradually merged with the Han people in the Central Plains. As for the Jurchens who stayed in the Northeast, their quality of life was relatively behind.

By the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens were divided into Jianzhou Jurchens , Haixi Jurchens and Donghai Jurchens (Savage Jurchens).

  • Jianzhou Jurchen is mainly distributed in the east of Fushun, Liaoning, with the Hunhe River Basin as the center, reaching the eastern foot of Changbai Mountain and the northern foot of the Yangtze River in the east, and reaching the Yalu River in the south;
  • Haixi Jurchen is distributed outside the Kaiyuan border, Huifa River basin, and to the big turn of the middle reaches of the Songhua River in the north;
  • East China Sea Jurchen is distributed in the east and north of Jianzhou, Haixi Jurchen, roughly below the middle reaches of the Songhua River, to Heilongjiang River basin, , reaching the coast in the east.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, these Jurchens fought with each other whenever they had a disagreement. Even the strongman Nurhaci took almost thirty years to unify the Jurchen tribes.

Nurhaci

As for "how to evaluate Qing Dynasty ", it is not the focus of this article and will not be discussed here.

Throughout Chinese history, Aisin Jueluo, as the closest and most familiar royal aristocrats to us, their descendants have always been one of the objects of attention after dinner.

looked up the information. The Aisin Gioro family, , has a very rigorous genealogy, and even has an official website:

This color scheme is very good for racing...

In Manchu , "Aisin Gioro" means "gold". Therefore, according to the terms of the "Qing Room Preferential Conditions" when the Qing Emperor abdicated, the descendants of the direct descendants mainly changed their surnames to "gold", because "Aisin Gioro" means "gold" in Manchu .

Let’s talk about some "true Aisin Gioro" first:

At this stage, the main representative of the Aisin Gioro family, is this uncle Jin Yuzhang: he is the nephew of the last emperor Puyi , and is also the closest branch of the existing Aisin Gioro branch.

The person on the left is Jin Yuzhang, and the father Pu Ren on the right is Puyi's younger brother

Uncle Jin Yuzhang said in an interview that they never need the surname Aisin Gioro, and they think "the surname is a bit weird."

Uncle Jin Yuzhang has a distant cousin named Yu Ziwei, who is a descendant of Emperor Daoguang, and is a painter. She also has a name called "Aisin Gioro Yuliu". The name "Yuliu" was born after she made a living by painting.

Ms. Ziwei

The reason why she uses "Aisin Gioro" is more based on career perspective. In her own words, "When they see, 'Aisin Gioro', they recognize your paintings."

However, what she attracted the most was not the work, but an article published in the years when " Return of the Condor Heroes " was popular, with the title "Give some advice to "Return of the Condor Heroes"". The article

says that because the "Ziwei Princess" in the TV series has the same name as her, it disturbs her life.

Next door to Taiwan, there is also a descendant of Aisin Gioro, named Jin Pucong . He has worked as a newspaper reporter and university teacher, and also as the deputy mayor of Taipei City. It is said that he was one of Comrade Ma Ying-jeou's aides back then.

Jin Pucong

According to legend, he once again participated in urban exchanges between Taipei and Shanghai, visited the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and ran to the statue with the words "Expel the Tartars and restore China" to take photos. said, "I am the Tartars mentioned in textbooks."

, however, the most famous one is the late calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong.

Mr. Qi Gong was born in July 1912. It was the year when I bid farewell to the imperial system and entered the republic. naturally never enjoyed a day of glory and wealth.

He claimed that his surname was "Qi" and "gong", and he was unwilling to have his surname Aisin Gioro again.

In his opinion, "If Aisin Gioro can really be a surname, whether it is humiliation or honor, it must be completely at the mercy of politics. What else can I boast about? Why hold it and talk about it with relish?"

As for why there is no surname "Jin", It is said that this is his grandfather's meaning, because "changing his surname" is the instruction of "enemy" Yuan Shikai.

In short, people's "true love Xinjueluo" are living their lives steadily, and basically have no sense of existence. is the legendary "wild Aisin Gioro". When it comes to being a monster, it is really ridiculous...

These wild Aisin Gioro emphasize their royal identity when they see a living person, and "defend national culture", including not limited to wearing so-called royal clothing. Some men will even have braids; they make some antique gadgets that are both real and fake, saying they are treasures heirloom.

For example, the uncle in the picture below, calls himself Aisin Gioro Hengshao , and when he sees others, he says that he is the seventh descendant of Emperor Qianlong. Every year when worshiping ancestors, I wear Qing Dynasty clothes.

Aisin Jueluo Hengshao

Even at home, he will wear clothes that are suspected to be yellow jackets and to show his so-called identity as a royal family; his wife is not willing to be outdone and wears clothes that are suspected to be a concubine in the Qing palace drama.

In addition to cos, he also has a ring of "Emperor Qianlong's ancestors". Some scholars asked him to return it but he refused. He said this was his family heirloom, um...

Aisin Jueluo Hengshao

But the most fantastic thing is his ancestral "Court Secret Recipe", The new drug he developed is mainly used to treat chronic diseases such as cirrhosis, femoral head necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis...

. This is an old Chinese doctor wearing a "yellow jacket"~

. The following Aisin Gioro Zhoudi is more fascinated than the one above.

Aisin Gioro Zhoudi

He claimed to be the Dorgon tenth generation grandson and Puyi's cousin, and he also tied a braid. However, according to time calculation, if it is really the so-called "tenth generation grandson", then he will definitely be over a hundred years old until now.

The biggest problem is that Dorgon in history has no son!

Dorgon

History records show that Dorgon had six wives and four concubines, but only one daughter, Aisin Gioro Dong'e, and had an adopted son, Dorbo, who was adopted from his younger brother Doduo . Later, Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict to remove Dorgon from his title on charges of usurping the throne and other crimes, and dismissed Dorgon's qualifications from his royal family, and eventually became the descendant of Duoduo.

So, this guy is 99.999999999% wild.

His living room is the center of the "King Mansion", enshrining portraits of Taizu Nurhaci and Dorgon. The roof of the living room is inlaid with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and even furniture and daily necessities are mainly based on the royal representative color "yellow".

Aisin Gioro Zhoudi's reception room

This old man even called himself "I"...

html More than 0 years ago during the Spring Festival travel rush, because he couldn't buy a train ticket, he made a big fuss at the train station, showing off his own descendants of the royal family, and insisted that the staff give him a ticket.

My royal family is still robbing tickets! It's simply outrageous!

There is also an Aisin Jueluo Zhoutang in Hong Kong. He claims to be the eleventh generation grandson of Nurhaci. But pushing forward according to time seems to be something wrong, but this doesn't seem to be very important...

He just wears cheongsams and braids every day. It is said that his wife is also a "royal descendant of pure blood". He calls his wife "Fu Jin" and his son "Brother" at home.

Aisin Jueluozhoutang

He also opened an "Eight Banners Photo Hall" in Tsim Sha Tsui. If you spend or take photos of or have the opportunity to taste Chinese tea and a small snack of Manchu people: Shaqima.

In short, the aristocrat who takes bloodline and family background as the only two reference standards is ultimately the spokesperson of the ruling class.

As for the so-called "noble spirit". It was fantasized by a group of "middle-class" who had just had a full meal for a few days. In today's China, no nobles are needed at all.

Besides, being able to be a "nova" is a major reflection of "class leap", why is it not good?

As for the characteristics of "being brave to take responsibility", "artistic cultivation", "noble morality", they are not the patent of a certain class, and "noble people" can also do it Davarishi .

As for the above-mentioned "wild Aisin Gioro", if you really travel to the pre-Qing Dynasty, will most likely be whipped by "True Aisin Gioro".

So, just say that such a scene is ridiculous or not:

The "middle class" are empathetic while being mocked and pursuing the pursuit of "noble spirit"...

Finally, end with this sentence: Is it better to have a king, prince, general, and minister?
