Clan and Banner Background

The Hurha clan appears in volume 48 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, which explains Hurha as a place-name later used for a surname. Families were associated with Hurha, Xindamo City, and other settlements. Nahantai of the Plain Red Banner submitted with brothers, relatives, and neighbours in the early Manchu period. He was appointed a jargūci, an officer with adjudicative responsibilities, and supervised a newly organized niru. His younger brother Tuoketui became a deputy lieutenant-general, while kinsmen Axibulu and Wulemu have separate accounts.

Family Service and Distinctions

Wulemu first served as a guard-company officer, undertook a mission to the Ming court during the Tiancong years, and later, because of his literary abilities, became an assistant director and then a director of the Board of Revenue. His career combined military, diplomatic, and documentary-administrative responsibilities. The genealogy expressly identifies certain Xindamo and Xibai branches as related to Nahantai, even though their banner affiliations differed.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A jargūci participated in hearings or judicial judgment, whereas a niru officer managed a banner company. Ministry directors worked in a central bureau. The historical extent of the Hurha region, exact locations of the settlements, early titles, and kinship links require original-source corroboration.
