Background and Banner Affiliation

Boxina was an early Qing Guwalgiya figure whose family came from Ula. Volume 3 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners records him in the Bordered White Banner and notes that this branch had earlier been transferred from the Plain White Banner. He submitted during the early Qing period and was expressly described as a clansman of Langxi, another man from the same area and banner. The entry does not list an official appointment held by Boxina himself.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

Boxina's grandson Hushi joined the Guangdong campaign and fought Li Dingguo's forces at Xinhui, earning the hereditary rank yunqiwei. Upon Hushi's death the rank passed to his third son Weng'etuo. Hushi's eldest son Wushiba served as a departmental secretary. A secretary was a working official in a civil bureau, whereas yunqiwei was an inheritable distinction awarded for military service. The genealogy explicitly identifies the third son as successor; modern assumptions about automatic succession by the eldest son should not override the source.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

The precise department employing Wushiba is not specified. The banner transfer demonstrates an administrative change but gives no exact date for Boxina's own registration. The clan connection to Langxi does not establish that the two were father and son or brothers. Xinhui campaign chronology and the ancestral settlement within Ula require further verification.
