Huluhuchangjinai

Overview

Huluhuchangjinai was a member of the Zhangjia clan of the Plain Blue Banner. Volume 40 of the official Qing dynasty genealogy, *The Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, records him as the son of Zakdan Bayan, the eldest son of Mudu Bayan. He originally resided in Emohe and Sulu in the Changbai Mountains, later moving to Feiyalang'a, and submitted to the Qing dynasty at its beginning. This record includes information on his ancestors, place names before and after his migration, and his submission; it is inappropriate to omit the migration hierarchy and simply list an unverified modern place of origin.

His great-great-grandson, Kudai, served as a zuoling (banner-company commander). His fourth-generation descendant, Akdun, served as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Acting Commander-in-Chief, also assisting in criminal affairs at the Infantry Commander's Office. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was a deputy position in the central government; Acting Commander-in-Chief implied a temporary role; and Assisting in criminal affairs specified specific duties, not necessarily meaning he simultaneously presided over three offices.

His fifth-generation descendant, Subali, served as a Protector-General in the campaign against Galdan, distinguishing himself at Zhaomodo and receiving the title of Yunqiwei (a military rank), becoming a Vanguard Commander and zuoling. His grandson, Duolun, inherited this hereditary position. The positions of Vanguard Commander and Zuo Commander were substantive, while the Yunqiwei was a hereditary title; Subali's military achievements cannot be attributed to his ancestors. The original place of residence (alternately written), the dates of his service in Aktun, the lineage from Subali to Dolon, and the modern location of Feiyalang'a are pending verification.
