Manchu and Mongolian can marry, but Manchu and Han can't. Why?

Because Manchu and Han did not marry, it was the flag system, ancestor system or ancestor training of Manchu, which gradually became the norm of the whole people. After that, the Qing dynasty implemented the policy of ethnic segregation, stipulating that Manchu and Han could not marry. If anyone violates the ancestral system, he will be punished and severely beheaded.

In order to maintain the purity of blood and consolidate the rule, Manchu implemented the Eight Banners system. People other than Han people will be included in the Eight Banners, and the children of the Eight Banners can marry each other, while Han people cannot marry the children of the Eight Banners.

The proposal of expanding information by marriage between Manchu and Han was difficult to popularize before Dourgen died, and basically existed in name only. Two years later, Dourgen died while hunting. Dourgen was liquidated after his death and deprived of his reputation and title. At that time, the proposal of intermarriage between Manchu and Han became one of Dourgen's heinous crimes.

Later, during the period when Ao Bai and other four ministers assisted the young Emperor Kangxi, he became more conservative politically, and there was an atmosphere in the ruling and opposition circles to restore the old system of the ancestors of the Eight Banners. The relationship between Manchu and Han, which has been eased, is tense again. It is even more dogmatic that Manchu and Han are not allowed to marry. No one can violate it, and offenders will be severely punished.

There is a story of "curve marriage" in Qianlong period, which is the story of Qianlong marrying a woman. Qianlong married his daughter to Yu Minzhong, the minister, and the princess became the daughter of the Han people. Then Qianlong married his daughter to Kong Xianpei, the duke of feast and the seventy-second grandson of Confucius.

This will not violate the ancestral system of "Man and Han don't marry". However, the truth of this story remains to be discussed. There is only one sentence in the Draft of Qing History that mentions Kong Xianpei: "Xian Pei, the word raises Yuan. Fifty-nine years, pawn. Zi Qing attacked. " Welcome to point out the historical origin of Gan Long's marrying women. Some articles infer from this story that Qianlong abolished the patriarchal clan system of "Manchu and Han did not marry" in the Qing Dynasty, which is actually wrong.
