However, after the news that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor spread, patriots from all walks of life rebelled one after another. In the end, Yuan Shikai announced his abdication in the rebellion from all walks of life. Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolutionary victory and let those Manchu nobles escape.
Without Yuan Shikai's action, they would probably be executed on the spot by the revolutionary army. However, Yuan Shikai was a cabinet minister of Empress Dowager Cixi and had a very close relationship with Manchu, so Yuan Shikai left all those lonely nobles in Manchu. Nowadays, the descendants of these lonely Manchu people live in society as ordinary people.
Many of them have given up the aristocratic status of their ancestors and turned to better participate in the life process of ordinary people. However, some people have been thinking about the dream of restoring the Qing Dynasty from beginning to end. Because of the restoration of the Qing dynasty, they will be respected upper-class people in society.
There was a man who claimed to be the grandson of Qianlong VII and wanted to restore the monarchy. Dressed in a dragon robe and royal cardboard, he ordered the officials of the civil and military to publicly worship their ancestors. The person who did this behavior was Essien Joro Shao Heng. As to whether Shao Heng is the seventh grandson of Qianlong, experts have no way to give a definite answer.
Behind him stood a group of guards and maids who served him. This move can not help but remind people of the worship ceremony of the Manchu nobles who have disappeared for a long time. Therefore, some people doubt the authenticity of his identity. For these people's doubts, Shao Heng also took out many convincing things, such as the imperial banzhi worn on his hand.
This banzhi was handed over to relevant cultural relics experts for study, and it was found that this banzhi was indeed an unusual ancient cultural relic. Therefore, experts suggested that Shao Heng should give this piece of cardboard to the state in order to better protect these cultural relics. However, since this is Shao Heng's private property, Shao Hengguo refused the expert's request.
It is with this banzhi and other precious cultural relics in Heng's hand that Jilin was listed as the main representative and person in charge of Manchu culture, and the public's vision began to change slowly, but it was lavish in human feelings. After establishing himself as the grandson of Qianlong VII, he lavishly built his own courtyard according to the size of the palace.
Moreover, he asked all the people in his family to wear the clothes of the Qing Dynasty, but he himself wore the yellow clothes that emperors were qualified to wear, as if his family still lived in the feudal and ignorant Qing Dynasty, and his children had to bow down to him as usual in the morning and evening.
Although this way is strange, it has not affected other people's lives, so people have been talking about what he did, but it has not been explicitly stopped. Slowly, Shao Heng began to publicize his identity in public, and even led many descendants of Manchu in dragon robes to publicly worship their ancestors at important festivals.
It has seriously affected the social order and made many people's impression of him dull and bad. They think that he did this just to attract the public's gimmicks and eyeballs, so as to gain higher popularity and gain more benefits. Regarding what he did, the famous painter Qi Gong, the ninth grandson of Emperor Qianlong, began to convince Shao Heng.
Mr. Qi Gong's identity as the ninth grandson of Yong Zhengdi was confirmed by experts' research, but he never spread it by virtue of his own identity. Instead, he has been studying calligraphy in obscurity, eventually becoming a leader in calligraphy and painting, and has been committed to charity and social welfare undertakings.
Visible, compared with the real Manchu royal descendants, Shao Heng is a bit superficial. There are not a few Manchu descendants like Mr. Qi Gong and Shao Heng in China. Now most of them are anonymous and live the same life as ordinary people. On this basis, it was too deliberate for Shao Heng to publicize and publicly worship his ancestors.
Today's China is a harmonious country with peaceful development as its main goal. Although committed to promoting friendly cooperation among all ethnic groups, this kind of behavior against history is still resisted by people. I also hope that Shao Heng can find his own faults as soon as possible and really use his identity to do something to promote social harmony and national unity.
