Clan and Banner Background

The Hanza clan, written Han-zha with a variant character in the original, is documented in volume 56 of the Qianlong Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its ancestral locality is given as Bayanheluo. Haqina, the principal recorded ancestor, belonged to the booi establishment of the Bordered Blue Banner; his date of submission was not determined. Booi indicated a particular kind of banner affiliation and service relationship, not simply the modern category of paid employment.

Family Service and Distinctions

Haqina's son Hanyou served as a ceremonial official. His grandson Taibitu held the military office of deputy general at Huamachi. Taibitu was killed while campaigning against Wang Fuchen and was posthumously awarded the hereditary rank yunqiwei. Having left no descendants, his award passed successively to his brothers Bashi and Shuose. These were collateral, brother-to-brother successions, not transfers to Taibitu's son or grandson.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A ceremonial official administered court or princely household rites, while a deputy general commanded military forces. The honorary hereditary distinction awarded after death did not mean that a brother automatically inherited Taibitu's appointment as deputy general. The precise site of Bayanheluo, the manuscript forms of the clan name and the dates of service require further verification. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 56.
