What did the Qing Dynasty s clothed slaves do?

After a long period of development in China, we reached the feudal absolutist system, and our people at that time did not have such freedom as modern society, and there were not only ordinary people, but also domestic slaves, slaves, and so on, but slaves were also divided into many types and classes. Someone asked what the Qing Dynasty's clothed slaves did? The Qing Dynasty's clothed slaves were also a kind of slaves, they were completely dependent on their masters, and they were people who did not have any freedom in life, just like the appendages of their masters, and their masters could even exchange them as commodities.

Our understanding of the clothed slaves may come from Mr. Lu Xun's article, and we were able to understand that those who did not have freedom were a very poor type of people, so our modern society refused to enslave others. Clothed slaves they are mainly for the master, generally engaged in farming, the status of this kind of clothed slave is the bottom, as well as engaged in planting of the clothed slave, in the orchard for the master to do things, only the princes and nobles will become the object of their service, as well as engaged in fishing and hunting work of the clothed slave They can be regarded as a relatively free effort, but it is also relatively free, there is a class of Han people composed of clothed slaves they are engaged in embroidery, breeding and other work, they are one of the more underground slaves.

In fact, every country has come over like this, we have evolved from a feudal society or a slave society, there is no country that has a sound system and no personality discrimination, and every country will have a good product, with its corresponding historical value and cultural value, so although the envelope slave is pitiful, it is also an inevitable product of that era.

Our slaves are divided into many types, the key is to look at the status of the slave owner and the character of the master, even if the slave follows a good master, there will be a future, but slaves like the clothed slave also rarely have the opportunity to contact the master head-on, so their life will be for the master to live.

The coated slave refers to the master's house slave, some are doing manual labor, such as farming and fishing, and some are serving the master's food and clothing, but the difference between the coated slave and the ordinary slave is that the coated slave is only a slave in the master's house, and he is still his own outside.

It is a low-status minion, and Baoyi is a contemptuous title.

The coated minions of the Qing Dynasty were servants, and their status was particularly low, and the identity of the coated minions was passed down from generation to generation, and they were the children born of the coated minions.

The clothed slaves of the Qing Dynasty were the ones who served the Manchus, that is, their masters, who were clothed, fed, housed, and transported. They are all domestic slaves of the Manchurians. A slave for a day, a slave for life.

First, the coated slaves were domestic slaves, and their status was tied to their masters.

Second, the types of coated minions.

Third, the social status of the coated minions. The status of the clothed minions is humble, they are laughed at by those nobles, but those nobles are also inseparable from the service of the coated minions, but there are also some coated minions who can rely on their wits to find a way out for themselves.

It is some "servants" who are responsible for the "housework" of the royal family and the princes and nobles. The so-called "housework" does not only refer to trivial things such as laundry and cooking, such as guards and housekeepers, which are "coatings" in a narrow sense. Because the so-called "home" of the royal family and the princes and nobles does not only refer to the family that lives, but refers to the entire family property and family business, so the people who are responsible for the family property and family business for this group of social elites can be regarded as "wrapping".

"Clothed slave" is not a "slave" in the strict sense of the word in ancient times, the ancient "slave" is a kind of social status, such as the royal family, wealthy families, landlords, common people, and then there are slaves, basically no different from slaves. The social status of the minions can be called the lowest, but the "clothed minions" refer to all those who serve the royal family and the princes and nobles, and these people are not the status of the minions who have signed the deed of sale, but the "employees" who help the "boss" take care of the business, and the two sides are in a cooperative relationship. In other words, although "coated slaves" are also called "slaves", they have a decent social status, and they are not comparable to those who sell themselves into slavery.

Whether ancient or modern, the vast majority of society's resources are in the hands of a very small number of people. If these resources are just left to these people to deal with by themselves, then I am afraid that they will not be able to handle one ten-thousandth of them due to exhaustion. So there is a division of labor and cooperation.

This group of social elites asks some people to help them take care of their careers and industries. Suppose that during the Qing Dynasty, all the family affairs of a prince were regarded as a company, then the prince himself was the boss of the company, and everyone else was an employee. Whether it is the general manager or a salesman at the bottom, their identities are employees, that is, "coated slaves".

During the Qing Dynasty, this group of "employees" were all from the children of the Eight Banners. Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, the social status of this group of people was actually in the upper echelons of society, not simply a "wage earner". The reason why they are called "minions" is because in terms of status, they are actually all "servants".

Refers to domestic slaves. This kind of domestic slave is more trusted by the master and helps the master to handle important matters.

The clothed minions usually have to help their masters cultivate the land. I also have to take care of the owner's daily life and do heavy housework. If the master goes to war, there is also a follower left and right.

Basically, they all serve the masters who have status outside the palace, some were taken away as slaves in the war, and some are slaves for generations in the family, if they have the ability, they may grasp some power and money after doing a period of rough work, which is higher than the status of ordinary people.

Didn't make it clear. Some famous Peking Opera actors also have coatings.

Anyone who has watched "Yongzheng Dynasty" knows that in the play, Nian Qianyao is the fourth master Yinzhen, that is, the coat of the later Yongzheng Emperor, and has been appreciated and reused by Yongzheng, and Nian Qianyao is also proud of being Yinzhen's coated minion, so what does the coated mean? Is it a lofty profession? Here's a closer look.

Baoyi, its full name is "Baoyi Aha", in fact, the original Baoyi Aha is a Manchu language, and translating it into Chinese is the meaning of "domestic servant", Baoyi It is a kind of Manchu Dynasty Eight Banners Manchuria internal personal subordinate system, so Baoyi is actually a servant of the Manchu nobles. But even slaves, during the Manchu Dynasty, countless people dreamed of becoming Baoyi, because they were more accessible to the Manchu ruling class and thus promoted, as was the case with Nian Qianyao.

The Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were divided into "Upper Three Banners" and "Lower Five Banners". The coats of the Shangsanqi only served members of the royal family, and they were managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That is to say, he is also a slave, but a servant of the royal family who served in the three banners.

The coats of the lower five banners belong to the princes and nobles who are loyal to the five banners. Although their status is lower than that of the upper three banners. But during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relative to the vast majority of Han Chinese.

The clothes of these nobles who served the Manchu Qing Dynasty can be regarded as human beings.

Coating is, in a sense, a kind of slave. There are three kinds of ** coating in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The original coat was the common people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After the Manchu commoners committed crimes, their own people, including their families, would be reduced to slaves, and these people were the main ** of the coat, and there were also people who were willing to take the initiative to become slaves from free people, but the number of such people was relatively small compared to the Manchus.

The second type of coating ** is the child born of the original coating. It was customary to coat Aha as a slave in the family. The children they give birth to are also the slaves of the family, and their food, clothing, housing, life, old age, sickness and death will be controlled by their masters, and the last one is to obtain slaves through war, and these slaves can not only use them for their own use, but also trade them, which is a bit like human trafficking.

Bao Yi said that he was simply a house slave, but he was released to be relatively independent and free. In the Qing Dynasty, only the royal coats would call themselves servants in front of the emperor. The coating is managed by a special hereditary leader.

It is said that yes, the clothed slaves of the Qing Dynasty were able to have the household registration of the banner people, and those who had the opportunity to participate in politics could also participate in the imperial examination, and they could also become high-ranking officials and nobles. Ordinary minions don't have these treatments.

Baoyi was first captured by Nurhachi in the war, and then was rewarded as property to the Eight Banners Army as a slave, the status is very low, in addition to peacetime work and farming, when fighting with the master, there is no personal freedom, and later the Qing ** also stipulated that the children of the Eight Banners who have the Baoyi slave can reward or punish their own Baoyi, but they cannot kill the Baoyi, nor can they buy and sell at will. If you want to have a clothed slave, you have to go through the reward of the imperial court, so that the identity of the clothed slave gradually evolves into a hereditary system, which cannot be changed at will.

The high ground of the master's status also determines the identity of the clothed slave, among which the yellow flag, the yellow flag and the white flag are specially designed to serve the royal family, and there are also certain errands, not only have additional salaries every month, if the ability is outstanding, appreciated by the royal family, it will also be reused to an official and a half-job.

Moreover, these clothed slaves who specialize in serving the royal family, women can enter the palace to draft women, for example, Wei Yingluo in "Yanxi Raiders" is a clothier from Zhenghuangqi, and it is with the status of the main family that she was fortunate to enter the palace as the queen of Qianlong, which can be regarded as a beautiful turnaround. During the Shunzhi period, some people were assigned to the identity of clothed slaves because their fathers were convicted, and later the emperor felt that the sentence was too heavy, and he was "issued with a coat" identity, which can be regarded as a form of commutation.

How heavy is the identity of the clothed slave, there are Manchurians, there are Han people, there are also Koreans, and there are ordinary banners in addition to the three banners in the family of the clothed slave, this status of the clothed slave is equivalent to the servant of the rich family, basically there is no future, the master has a good temper and the coat can be more relaxed, if you meet an evil master, then the life and descendants of this coat are more miserable.

Cao Xueqin in "Dream of Red Mansions" actually served the white flag in the three flags, his great-grandfather worked in Jiangning weaving, and not only did his own job to do this work, but the key was that the emperor specially set up an eyeliner, specifically for the emperor's traditional intelligence, although the Cao family was born in the coat, but the identity is the royal intelligence officer, serving the emperor, which is considered to be a more distinctive identity in the coating.

In addition to being mainly engaged in low-level productive work, there were also some clothed slaves who mainly served the daily life of their masters. Baoyi slaves, to put it bluntly, are slaves, the Manchu Qing Dynasty retained considerable remnants of slavery, and the nobles generally had Baoyi slaves, but Baoyi can be an official and can engage in some activities independently, but its identity will not change.

Like serfs, they had to cultivate the fields for their masters in peacetime, and fought with their masters in wartime, they had no social status, and all their property belonged to their masters. The status of the master is different, and the status of the slave is also different.

At that time, the social hierarchy was obvious, there were kings above people, and there were slaves under people, and they often suffered some different eyes because of their different statuses, being looked down upon, stepping on at will, and even their own lives could not be decided by themselves, which was an insult to personality. The clothed slaves who live at the bottom of the society, have no personal freedom, do not have everything they want, they can only obey human life and serve their masters in a down-to-earth manner, this is their life.

In Manchu society, the clothed slave is the lowest level, and it is also a feudal personal subordinate system within the Eight Banners Organization of the Qing Dynasty. Although the clothed slaves are the objects of exploitation and oppression, they often have more opportunities to express themselves because of their service to the royal family and nobles, and once they are reused, they are often rich and prominent, enjoy greater power than ordinary officials, and may also have their own ranks, property, and slaves, and often hold some important positions.

The clothed slave was the domestic slave of the Qing Dynasty's dignitaries, responsible for helping the master plough the land and serving the princes and nobles, and was the lowest person in society!

The Qing Dynasty's Baoyi slave was a term for slaves, which translated"Slaves of the family", so their status is not too high.

The clothed slaves of the Qing Dynasty were actually just slaves, usually doing some heavy housework and serving their masters. The status of the clothed slave is not high, it can be said that it is very low.

The clothed slave is a hereditary slave in the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the ancestors are slaves for several generations, and their status is not high, and they are dependent on the master.

Baoyi slaves are people who have been slaves to this family for generations, and their status changes with their ability, and it is impossible to surpass the master, but the master is prominent, and they are also prominent.
