Clan and Banner Background
The Duli clan is listed in volume 57 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its families lived in Macha and several other places. The volume separately records Amuqing'a of the Plain White Banner from Macha, Tusiwan of the Plain Red Banner from Deduli, Chunbu'erdai of the Plain White Banner from Dedun Village, and Buertuli of the Bordered White Banner from the Heilongjiang region. These localities should not be collapsed into a single ancestral village.
Family Service and Distinctions
Amuqing'a and Tusiwan were described as submitting early. Amuqing'a's great-grandson Sulengtai served as a vanguard officer; Tusiwan's son Boerjibu became a niru commander. The submission years of Chunbu'erdai and Buertuli were not known. Chunbu'erdai's grandson Sanbao served as an officer in the imperial household guard establishment, while Buertuli's grandson Handu was a cavalry officer when the genealogy was compiled.
Kinship, Succession, and Evidence
The different branches identify descendants at different generations. A vanguard officer, a household guard officer and a cavalry officer each performed duties in distinct military organizations. A niru commander supervised a specific banner unit and was not simply a superior grade of any of these posts. The modern locations of Macha, Deduli and Dedun and the connections between the families await further research. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 57.
