Clan and Banner Background

The Ejili clan appears in volume 61 of the Qianlong Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its recorded ancestral locality was Guareca. Wulusun, a member of the Bordered Red Banner, submitted during the Tiancong reign. His great-grandson Weng'eluo served as an infantry officer. Later descendants included Cha'erbu, who held a departmental directorship, and Chabuhai, who served as a bithesi, or administrative writer and translator.

Family Service and Distinctions

These three occupations belong to different parts of Qing administration. The infantry officer participated in banner urban-security or military duties, depending on appointment. A departmental director supervised the work of a government office or bureau; a bithesi handled documentation, translation and copying. The existence of military and civil officers in one recorded surname is not evidence that any individual changed from one of these appointments to all the others.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

The kinship notation is also limited. Weng'eluo belongs to the great-grandson generation and Cha'erbu and Chabuhai to a still later generation, but the published passage does not supply each intervening father-son link. Tiancong identifies Wulusun's era of submission, not the dates when his descendants took office. More work is required to identify Guareca precisely, verify the Manchu surname in its original script and locate the departments in which later family members worked.
