Yoram

Overview

Yolan was a member of the Hada Nara clan of the Plain Red Banner during the early Qing Dynasty. His family had lived in Hada for generations, and he was the great-great-grandson of Suhede, the third son of Jiamukashuozhugu.

The official Qing Dynasty genealogy, *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, Volume 23, records that he initially submitted to the Qing Dynasty. His son, Maobali, was appointed as a military officer and commander of a zuoling (military unit), while Darhan served as deputy commander and zuoling.

Sun Tuerzhai was awarded the rank of Third-Class Qingche duwei (hereditary merit rank) for his performance, and served as a secretary, military officer, and zuoling. His hereditary title was later downgraded to Qiduwei (hereditary merit rank) and inherited by a relative.

Secondary officers handled departmental affairs, while military officers and zuoling were the administrative levels of the banner. Qingche duwei (hereditary merit rank) and Qiduwei (hereditary merit rank) were hereditary titles for meritorious officials; a single person could simultaneously hold civil service, banner, and hereditary titles.

Another grandson, Gadahun, participated in numerous battles before and after the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, serving as Minister of War, commander, and zuoling. His military achievements and hereditary titles formed another branch of the family.

The original genealogy also lists many of his descendants' official positions, which cannot be linked to Joram's own career path.
