As for the royal family Aixinjueluo, there are still different opinions on its origin. According to the "Records of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Qing Dynasty", once the goddess Foculun was bathing in a lake near Changbai Mountain. After swallowing the fruit held by the sacred crow, she felt that she was too heavy to ascend to heaven.
Not long after, a boy was born. He was very handsome and could talk when he was born. Foculun said to him: "You take Aixinjueluo as your surname, and your name is Kubuli Yongshun." This child is Qing Dynasty. The ancestor of Nurhachi, the founder of the dynasty. This statement is full of mythological color, saying that he received his surname from heaven. However, the previous generations of Nurhaci were not surnamed Aixinjueluo, and their surnames are still a mystery.
In the 1680s, the Aixinjueluo family was only a small family, including the sixth ancestor of Nurhachi and their 22 sons. From the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty by Nurhachi to the demise of the last emperor Puyi in the Qing Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty existed for 296 years and experienced 11 generations and 12 emperors.
In the past three centuries, the emperors of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty had many princesses and queens, and their descendants also had far more wives and concubines than ordinary people. In addition, China advocates many children and many grandchildren. The ancient traditional customs of the Aixinjueluo family have led to the rapid reproduction of descendants of the Aisinjueluo family.
Before Hou Jin entered the customs, there were about 100 members of the royal family during the second generation of Huang Taiji; by the time of the third generation of Shunzhi, there were 419 members of the royal family; by the time of the fourth generation of Kangxi, there were about 100 members of the royal family. There are about 490 people; by the Yongzheng period of the fifth generation, there were more than 1,000 members of the royal family; by the Jiaqing period of the seventh generation, there were nearly 4,700 members of the royal family; after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, by the 1930s, the number of royal descendants had reached 20,000.
The "Aisin Gioro Genealogy" published in 1936 collected the hereditary reproduction materials of this family for hundreds of years. From the 1680s to the 1930s, there were nearly 34,000 male descendants of the Nurhachi branch alone, more than 46,000 descendants of the entire clan, and more than 34,000 descendants of the Jueluo system. There are more than 80,000 people in total, and this is just men.
If calculated based on the ratio of princes to princesses, then in more than three centuries, the Aisin Gioro family has more than 80,000 descendants of the clan, and nearly 60,000 descendants of Jueluo. , the entire Aixinjueluo family has nearly 140,000 descendants. In the past 300 years, the Aixinjueluo family has been in a privileged period, and its descendants have multiplied very quickly.
