Background and Banner Affiliation

Duiqin was an early Guwalgiya figure registered in the Bordered Yellow Banner, with Jia'muhu recorded as his ancestral locality. The Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, volume 2, records that he submitted early. His great-grandson Guoli held the civil office of jishizhong, an official concerned with reviewing government memorials and administrative conduct. Another great-grandson, Daketa, served as an officer of the imperial guard units and joined the Zhejiang campaign against Zhoushan, including naval fighting, and later operated at Suide in Shaanxi. He was awarded the hereditary rank qidu wei.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

The jishizhong post belonged to central official oversight and administrative review, whereas Daketa's guard command was a military appointment. Neither office is attributed by the source to Duiqin personally. The genealogy also does not identify the immediate fathers of both great-grandsons.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

After Daketa's death his hereditary title passed to his own great-grandson Changlu, then to Changlu's son Qingde. The phrase 'his great-grandson' refers to Daketa at this point, not directly to Duiqin. Another more distant descendant of Duiqin, Sahai, served separately as an infantry officer. The hereditary qidu wei title did not automatically transfer Daketa's original guard command to his heirs. The historic location of Jia'muhu and campaign chronology still require investigation.
