Aduduha

Overview

Aduduha was a member of the Lijia clan, a bondservant of the Bordered White Banner, during the early Qing Dynasty. Volume 33 of the officially compiled *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners* records that his family resided in Lijia and Luo, and that he submitted to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. Bondservants were a specific social group within the banners, and banner affiliation, social status, and ancestral home were different levels; one cannot simply categorize all members of the clan as Han soldiers or the same bondservant system based solely on the surname Lijia.

His great-grandson, Ekan Baturu, participated in the battles of Dalinghe, Shandong, the entry into the pass, and Songjiang as a military commander, earning the rank of Yunqiwei, and subsequently promoted to Qiduwei and Second-Class Qingcheduwei. He received an imperial edict granting him an additional rank, but later, due to a crime committed during a campaign, the hereditary title of military commander was not inherited. The position of military commander was a military post; the hereditary promotion and the cessation of succession due to crime must be preserved separately, and the final decision cannot be deleted.

Fifth and sixth generation descendants also held positions such as military officer, lieutenant, cavalry officer, and scribe. The zuoling was in charge of household registration and military records at the grassroots level, while the Bi Tie Shi handled official documents; these official positions are not part of Abduduha's personal resume. The location of Li Jia and Luo Xiandai, their multi-generational lineage, and the punishments given to Ekan Baturu await verification from the original inscription.
