As for the history of the Ming Dynasty, I can not only learn from history textbooks, but also see many stories derived from movies and TV plays with the Ming Dynasty as the background. In order to choose successors better, ancient people often had many descendants. Zhu Yuanzhang's life is full of legends. From a beggar who can be an emperor in a yellow robe, many people think it is his destiny to be an emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to the importance of flowers and leaves, so he died in the Ming Dynasty from the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's opening to the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, the royal family has grown to 654.38 million+. However, with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing government, these former members of the royal family were in danger. Due to the large number of members of the Ming royal family, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty certainly would not let such a potential threat shake their rule.
Many descendants of the Ming Dynasty lost their lives because the Qing army maintained its rule. Before that, many people were killed in the peasant uprising in the late Qing Dynasty. However, due to the large number of people, a small number of people survived, unknown, and lived carefully today. Although I can't live my old royal life, at least I saved my life.
There is a village in Zhejiang whose population is less than 100. It is called Nanjing Village. Residents here rarely live with no more than 40 families. Most people in the village are surnamed Zhu. Nanjing village is also considered to be a small village established by members of the fleeing royal family in the Ming Dynasty. In this village with less than 100 people, there is an old man named Zhu. Old Zhu is over 60 years old. He declared himself a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. His family also has a collection of dragon chairs made in the Ming Dynasty.
Cultural relics are the best witness of history. People may lie, but cultural relics will never. Old Zhu said that his ancestors were originally assigned to Anhui, and their descendants developed here in Anhui. However, with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army besieged them and forced them to leave their homes. But some royal items were preserved. The dragon chair preserved by the old man Zhu is one of them. It turned out that the ancestors hid this dragon chair in a cave in order to preserve the royal relics, and this dragon chair escaped the fate of being destroyed.
Because the Qing government was in power, it constantly suppressed and eliminated the royal aristocrats left over from the previous dynasty. Zhu's descendants had to remain anonymous until the founding of New China and the complete demise of the feudal system. The importance of cultural relics in China is getting higher and higher, and the price of cultural relics is also rising gradually. If the old man keeps this dragon well, it is indeed a cultural relic built in the Ming Dynasty after expert appraisal, and it is very well preserved and has very precious value.
As soon as the news was released, many antique lovers came here and bought this dragon chair at a high price. Some people even made their debut at a price of more than 100 million yuan, but in the face of the high purchase price, Mr. Zhu said that he did not want to sell his ancestral one easily. This is something of spiritual significance handed down from his ancestors. He doesn't want to give it to others because he is greedy for a little money. Therefore, he never thought about auctioning this valuable cultural relic.

Like the dragon chair in the hand of the old man Zhu, many cultural relics have been lost to the people because of the change of dynasties. The value of cultural relics can often reflect the social situation of that period. In modern times, we should consciously fulfill the responsibility of protecting and caring for cultural relics. You can't deliberately destroy cultural relics with immoral behavior, and cover that period of history with black gauze that can never be erased.
