The Qing Dynasty is the last feudal dynasty in China that is closest to our time, and its history has become more familiar to people as a result. In addition, in recent years, the market has emerged in the Qing dynasty as the background of the palace fighting drama, which deepens people's understanding of this dynasty. People who are familiar with the Qing Dynasty royal family know that although the children born in the royal family had the best medical conditions and were looked after around the clock, and no one dared to bully them outside, they were still prone to early deaths. Some statistics say that nearly half of the children born in the Qing Dynasty royal family did not live past the age of fifteen, which in the end is why?
First of all, I think one of the most important reasons is that the Qing royal family married too early. Generally at that time the normal age for men to get married was sixteen, but for the royalty, this time was even earlier. The reason why they got married so early was so that they could ascend to the throne early. Because the rule at that time was that only a married crown prince could ascend the throne. On the other hand, emperors also liked to assign marriages to their royal sons, which caused them to get married too early. This caused a problem, these imperial sons started to become fathers before their own bodies were fully developed, and their offspring did not develop as well, and the children born to women at that age were prone to congenital deficiencies, leading to the children's premature deaths.
Additionally, it is born in the imperial family, the hook and corner, and I am not immune to deceit, involved in the power struggle in the imperial son will be subjected to all sides of the forces of targeting and counting, which is not lack of their own siblings, and even their own side of the closest people. This also indirectly causes them to be hard to get through until their strength grows and they become victims.
Overall, born in the imperial family, this is their inherent fate to face. Either they die an early death and become a victim of someone else's rise to power, or they make it through and take over the reins of power on their own.
