As early as 1644, before the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Nurhachi had the surname of China. His last name? Hey? . Influenced by China culture when he was young, he was familiar with The Romance of Three Kingdoms. Half of his Eight Banners are Han Chinese. Therefore, compared with the Yuan people, the Qing people had a high degree of sinicization from the beginning.
The master has China's surname, and so do the slaves. His three relatives and six relatives, of course. Taking China's surname was the trend at that time. Just like China people insist on foreign names in foreign companies.
After 1644 successfully entered the Central Plains, the rulers of the Qing court were not convinced of the advanced nature of Chinese culture at first. Therefore, I also try to promote their culture to the Han people.
For example, shaving your head and changing clothes, such as promoting Manchu. The former was realized by a butcher knife, while the latter never succeeded.
Not only that, after more than 200 years of rule. Manchu itself was assimilated by the Han nationality. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when Cixi listened to politics, Empress Dowager Cixi didn't even know a few Manchu characters. Ordinary people don't want to use any old surnames. Call a person, read the name for a long time, but still can't get to the point. Not simple!
In addition, those who took the initiative to change their Chinese surname in the early stage will have to change it in the Republic of China. Because in the ancient history of China, all dynasties were accompanied by slaughter and cleansing. The previous generation of royals were more vulnerable? Mowing grass and hoeing roots? Types of persecution.
For example, during the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng stewed Zhu with ginseng and velvet antler? Fulu soup? Sharing food with soldiers, the rest of the princes and their families, they will not have a good end.
1905, when sun yat-sen established the anti-Qing slogan, he put forward? Expel the Tatars and restore China? . This made all Manchu people feel cold at that time.
We won't mention what their predecessors were like. At least the Qing dynasty was corrupt and hated by the people. Who dares to jump out of the descendants who think it's Aisin Gioro? After liberation, their Chinese surnames have been used for many years, so there is no need to change them back to their old surnames.
