Clan and Banner Background

The Jerde clan is recorded in volume 48 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with families around Jiefan and other areas. Tabudai of the Plain Yellow Banner came from Jiefan and submitted early. His eldest son Gushan fought in Shandong as a banner-company commander, then died in the Korean campaign and received a posthumous qidu wei award. His son Fudali inherited it; subsequent transmission continued through Fuhachan and Fuxing to Fuersen.

Family Service and Distinctions

Tabudai's second son Niyahaqi served as an officer of the seventh grade in Yunnan campaigns, where he distinguished himself at Shimenkan, Huangcaoba, and outside Yunnan city and earned yunqiwei. A separate Plain White Banner line descended from Yalukan of Ula produced Qitong'e, vice president of the Board of Punishments, and Exing'e, vice president of the Board of Rites. Descendants also held bithesi clerkships of the seventh and eighth grades, assistant directorships, and guard posts.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

The two ministries performed different central judicial and ceremonial functions. A bithesi dealt with documents, copying, and translation; its precise official grade should be preserved where the source supplies it. Military honours and civil careers belong to the appropriate descendants, and clan branches should not be merged without genealogical evidence. The location of Jiefan and the chronology of particular appointments require checking.
