辛亥鼎革,南京临时政府、袁世凯与清政府达成《清室优待条件》,民国政府做出了“先筹八旗生计,于未筹定之前,八旗兵牟俸饷,仍旧支放”的允诺。实际上,八旗生计并未筹定,粮饷照发亦未落到实处,人口多达数百万的旗人群体在民国初年的生存境况急剧恶化。中央与地方政府成立专司旗人生计问题的机构,采取一定措施,例如创办旗人工艺厂与教育机构,清理旗产、直接赈济等。但总体看来,这些措施效果并不显著。旗人最终不得不走上自谋生计的平民化道路。 Xinhai Dingge, the Provisional Government of Nanjing, Yuan Shikai and the Qing Government reached the condition of “preferential treatments for the Qing Room,” and the government of the Republic of China made the “first raise of the Eight Banners for their livelihood. Before the project was planned, the Eight Banners would still be subsidized.” promise. As a matter of fact, the livelihood of the Eight Banners did not make any plans and the rates paid did not materialize. The living conditions of the banner people with millions of people in the early Republican years deteriorated sharply. The central and local governments have set up agencies specializing in the livelihood of the banner people and have taken certain measures such as setting up flag people craft factories and educational institutions, cleaning up their flagship products, and direct relief. However, the overall effect of these measures is not significant. Banner people eventually have to embark on a self-serving civilians road.
