Clan and Banner Background

Volume 55 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners says that Hong'e was originally the name of a mountain and later became a Manchu surname. Families were associated with the Changbai region, Jilin, and Hada. The main recorded branches included Zhaiqi of the Bordered Yellow Banner and Jingyilu and Hushtun of the Bordered White Banner.

Family Service and Distinctions

Zhaiqi served as a guard-company officer. His sons included Ma'erji, a third-class imperial bodyguard; Suozhu, a guard-company officer; and Sengseli, another third-class bodyguard who died fighting at Jiuyao Shibadong during campaigns in Jiangxi and Guangdong. Sengseli received a posthumous yunqiwei, later inherited by Helu onuo, a nephew through his elder brother, and by Hashitai. Jingyilu's line was transferred from the Plain White to the Bordered White Banner; his grandson Hutu became the general at Hangzhou, while later descendants Niuniu and Wuli were deputy lieutenant-generals in Guangdong and Heilongjiang.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Hushtun's son Ahanikan and grandson Edebei each held posts as ministry director concurrently with niru command. Another grandson, Tuna, was president of the Board of Works. Such concurrent appointments combined bureaucratic and banner responsibilities, while a ministry presidency headed a central department. The branches' offices should not be interchanged. The position of Hong'e Mountain and the genealogy require further verification.
