About This Novel
There was a saying in Beijing in the old days: "We don't distinguish between Manchus and Han people, but we ask the banner people." In the Qing Dynasty, banner people and common people were the basic divisions between social members. Minren are people who belong to the provinces, prefectures and counties, while bannermen are people who are incorporated into the Eight Banners organization. Banner people are also called "people under banners" and "those under banners." They are different from the common people in terms of administrative affiliation, political status, rights and obligations, economic resources, lifestyle, and even cultural customs, and they became a very unique group in Qing Dynasty society. This book captures these characteristics of the banner people, and selects several aspects about the banner people's culture, political life, etc., And describes them in more detail, aiming to show readers the general outline of the rise and fall of the banner people's honor and disgrace in the Qing Dynasty.
