Clan and Banner Background
The Duoluo clan appears in volume 56 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with Yehe listed as its historical home. Its recorded ancestor Tuohelun of the Plain Red Banner submitted in the early years of the Manchu state. Yehe was a northeastern region associated with the area of present-day Siping, Jilin, but the original source does not identify the family's precise village.
Family Service and Distinctions
Tuohelun's son Unaha served as a guard-company officer and fought at Huangcaoba in Yunnan and later against Galdan at Jao Modo. He received yunqiwei and served as a city-defence commander. Upon retirement because of illness, his son Shase inherited the hereditary distinction. Shase died in fighting near Wusunzhu'er against the Dzungars, receiving an additional yunqiwei; his son Lingbao subsequently inherited the combined qidu wei grade.
Kinship, Succession, and Evidence
Guard-company and city-defence commands were actual military posts, whereas yunqiwei and qidu wei were hereditary grades. The combining of two lower distinctions into a higher one did not mean that Shase commanded two independent cavalry offices. This entry concerns the Yehe clan line and successive awards across three generations; the word Duoluo should not be mistaken for the noble-title prefix doroi. The site and date of the Wusunzhu'er battle require verification.
