Background and Banner Affiliation

Mayashixi was an early Qing Guwalgiya man of the Plain White Banner, whose family came from Hada. Volume 3 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners records his submission and service as a cavalry officer. His son Zhanbu became a niru commander, while another son, Changshou, served as a guard colonel. Other clan nephews, including Wudai and Modase, were guard-unit officers. A further nephew, Wuerhu, acted temporarily as a cavalry officer and was killed in fighting at Gaizhishan in Fujian. Wuerhu was posthumously awarded the hereditary distinction yunqiwei.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

A cavalry officer and a guard-unit officer belonged to different banner formations, while the guard colonel held a higher role within guard organization. The word 'acting' matters for Wuerhu's temporary appointment. A clan nephew is not the same relative as a biological son; the military honor earned by Wuerhu cannot therefore be attributed either to Mayashixi or to one of his sons.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

Wuerhu left no heirs, so the hereditary award passed to his brother Huase, who participated in subsequent campaigns against Wang Fuchen in Shaanxi and in Yunnan, advancing to qidu wei. After Huase also died without descendants, succession moved to his elder brother's son Changzai and then to Heying. The exact ancestral settlement at Hada and details of Mayashixi's own later career remain uncertain. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 3.
