Fubaihu

Overview

Fubaihu was a member of the Sakda clan of the Plain White Banner during the early Qing Dynasty. Volume 35 of the official Qing Dynasty genealogy, *The Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, records that his family originally resided in Delin Village. They submitted to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. His fifth-generation descendant, Hekedono, served as a zuoling (banner-company commander); his sixth-generation descendant, Jiaoha, served as a Fangyu (military defense officer); and Humida served as a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Shengjing (Beijing). His seventh-generation descendants also held positions such as Hujunxiao (military officer) and zuoling; his eighth-generation descendants held positions such as Zhushi (official in charge), Langzhong (official in charge), and Bitieshi (scribe).

The zuoling was in charge of basic household registration and military records. The Fangyu and Hujunxiao were involved in the military affairs of the banner garrisons. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Shengjing participated in the rites and administration of the capital. The Shengjing-specific designation in their titles must be retained and cannot be changed to the equivalent position in the Ministry of Rites in Beijing. Zhushi and Langzhong were administrative positions, while Bitieshi handled Manchu and Chinese documents, differing in nature from military posts.

His eighth-generation descendants also held the position of Deputy Xiaoqixiao (military officer); his ninth-generation descendants held positions such as Hujunxiao, Xiaoqixiao, and Deputy Hujun Canling (military officer deputy commander). The deputy nature of these positions was not removed. The original genealogy spans five to nine generations and cannot be compressed into ordinary grandchildren or great-grandchildren, nor can it supplement Fu Baihu's official career based on his highest official position. The location of Delin Village, the intermediate lineages of each branch, and the years of service in Shengjing are yet to be verified; the generational figures are recorded as is.
