There are three ethnic minorities in Beijing with a population of more than 10,000: Hui, Manchu and Mongolian. At the end of the 1980s, there were nearly 400,000 Manchus, composed of two parts: one part was the so-called "Old Beijingers" whose family trees could be traced, and they had lived in Beijing for more than 300 years; the other part was the people who founded the People's Republic of China Later they migrated to Beijing one after another. The Manchus among the old Beijingers mainly live in urban areas. This also has its historical reasons: the Eight Banners soldiers who guarded the capital in the Qing Dynasty determined their residential location based on the theory of the five elements interfering with each other. For example, the east belongs to wood, and metal overcomes wood. The color of gold is similar to white. , so in the Eight Banners, Zhengbai Qi and Xiangbai Qi live in Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen respectively; and as the west belongs to gold, fire overcomes gold, and fire is similar to red, so Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi live in Xizhimen and Fuchengmen; the same reason , Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner live in Deshengmen and Andingmen; Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner live in Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen. When I met some old Beijingers in the past, as long as I knew where their ancestral home was, I could tell which banner they belonged to.
Manchus also live in the suburbs of Beijing, such as Laogoumen Manchu Township and Qidaohe Manchu Township in Huairou County. After the ancestors of the Manchu people here entered Beijing in 1646, they went out of the Great Wall again to provide prey for the royal family of the capital. They were actually some hunters. Miyun County also has a Manchu and Mongolian township called Tanying'er. The Manchus and Mongolians here are descendants of the Eight Banners soldiers who were sent to garrison. In addition, there are 55 Manchu villages in the plain area, most of which are hoarding farmers, and a few are former garrison points and families who guard the tombs of the royal family and nobles.
The Manchus are an ancient nation. There are records about the Manchus as early as the Zhou Dynasty. They have made three major contributions in Chinese history: one is in the Tang Dynasty, when the Manchus established the Bohai Kingdom in the northeastern region. , opened up the Northeast region; the second was the Jin Dynasty, which established the Jinzhongdu in Beijing, established China's political center in Beijing, and broke the boundaries of the Great Wall; the third was the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, which established the territory of today's China . Premier Zhou once said: There are only a few hundred thousand Manchus, but the Qing Dynasty established to unify China for more than 200 years shows that they are a capable nation and worthy of admiration. The vast territory of our country today was inherited from the Qing Dynasty. Our country is vast, rich in resources and has a large population. It should be acknowledged that the Qing Dynasty contributed to this.
The Manchus also produced many famous figures in history. For example: Wang Jun and Shao Zhongsen were Manchus in the "Ten Patriotic Group" of Changxindian railway workers during the "May 4th Movement" in 1919. Among them, Wang Jun was also selected as a representative of Chinese workers to participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution of the Communist Party of China. At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he took a photo with Lenin; during the Anti-Japanese War, there were also many anti-Japanese heroes from the Manchu ethnic group, the more famous one being Tong Linge.
