冠姓、更名、改籍与民初旗民身份变化

The Changes in Surname,Given Name,Birth Places and Status of Bannermen in the Early Republic of China

作为一个特殊的社会群体,民初旗民在社会政治经济生活的诸多方面发生了深刻的变化。基于政治经济特权的丧失、社会地位和生活方式的变化以及平等的民族关系基本原则的确立等多种因素的影响,自民国成立后的多年间,各地屡有旗民申请冠姓、更名、改籍。对民初旗民冠姓、更名、改籍历史现象的考察,不仅有助于我们深刻了解转型时期旗民的生存状况,而且也有益于人们在社会发展和民族融合的视角下进一步认识和研究民初中国社会、政治、经济、思想文化、风俗习惯等诸多领域。

As a special social group, bannermen underwent profound changes in many aspects in their social, political and economic life in the early Republic of China, after the foundation of which, bannermen lost their political and economical privilege, their social position and the life style changed and the basic principle of ethnical equality was established. Such dramatic changes led to many bannermen＇ s application to add a Chinese-style name to their original name, to change their given names, and to change birth places. The studies in the above historical phenomenon are not only helpful in our understanding of bannermen＇ s survival conditions in the early Republic, but also beneficial to the further understanding of and studies on the Chinese society, politics, economy, thoughts, culture, manners and customs and so on from the perspective of social development and ethnic fusion.
