After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the royal family all hid in a small mountain village. Why did they change their names and surnames later?

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the royal family all hid in a small mountain village. Later, many people hated Manchu, so they had to remain anonymous. Some of them changed their names, some changed their names to Jin and some changed their names to Zhao.

The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in history. He passed on the 11th emperor. Later, under the pressure of Yuan Shikai, the last emperor Puyi announced his abdication. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, there were still many royalty. Ai Xinjue Roche was a huge family. They chose to go to a small mountain village, Nita Village, Gaoguan Town, Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, which is in the northwest of Benxi County. Since Puyi announced his abdication, they all lost their noble status, and even food and clothing were not available. Some rich nobles chose to stay in Beijing and Tianjin, but many royal families with poor living standards went to Nita Village.

The geomantic omen in Nita Village is very good. It is located outside Qian Shan. The village is surrounded by the Taizi River in the east, west and north directions. In the past, Nuerhachi built a city here called Tokyo City, so it was also regarded as the hometown by Manchu people. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many people in Aisingiorro changed their surnames and remained anonymous. For example, some people changed their surnames to Jin, and some changed their surnames to Zhao, because after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many people hated Manchu, and they had to remain anonymous in order to survive in a turbulent society.

Up to now, some people in Nita Village in Benxi, Liaoning Province still keep the habit of descendants of the royal family. They can't wear a dog skin hat if they don't eat dog meat. If anyone commits a taboo, it is difficult to walk out of the village alive, and they still feel that they are descendants of the royal family, so they have been restraining themselves according to royal regulations.
