What are the eight surnames of the Qing Dynasty? Is there a difference between high and low?

Surname is one of the ancient traditional cultures in China, and it is the thing that people contact most every day. When two strangers meet, the first sentence is "What's your name?" I usually say my first name when I introduce myself, and my last name is very important in my first name. China surname culture is not only one of the intangible cultural heritages, but also represents the importance that China people attach to root culture. Surnames represent blood and inheritance.

There is a story behind every surname. There are various surnames in China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land, and all kinds of surnames are recorded in Hundred Surnames. I don't know if everyone has studied their surnames. Children of the Eight Banners in Qing Dynasty also had their own surnames. Today, their surnames have gradually evolved and many surnames have been derived. Today, I will tell you about these surnames. Can you compare and see if you are children of the Eight Banners?

After the Manchu entered the customs, they made great efforts to sinicize, and the Manchu also had their own surnames. Among their more than 600 surnames, the eight most famous surnames are Fu Cha, Guarga, Maga, Niukuru, Nala, Sochulosh, Tong Jiashi and Hersaizhhara. Friends who have seen Qing Dynasty dramas such as Yan Xi Palace and Ruyi Palace should be familiar with them.

As we all know, Cixi is Yehnara. Now their surname is Na, and Na Ying is a descendant of Na La.

Guarga also comes from Jurchen, and its surname has always been called "the first clan of Manchu Dynasty". There is no rule for Guaer's family to change their surname. Some Guan surnames, Shi surnames, Su surnames and Zhou surnames all evolved from Guaer's family. Rosamund Kwan, a Hong Kong film beauty star in the 1990s, is a descendant of Guawazi.

The Tong family has many surnames. Tong, Tong and Gao are all Tong family names after changing their surnames. The oldest surname of Jurchen is that the Queen played by Qin Lan is her daughter, and her surname was later changed to "Fu".
