Brihana

Overview

Bulihana was a member of the Yilali clan, belonging to the Bordered Red Banner. His family had lived in Feiyou City for generations, but the year of his submission is unknown. Volume 47 of the Qing Dynasty official genealogy, *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, records that his grandson, Jisuka, served as a Qiduwei (hereditary merit rank), and this section focuses on the military achievements and hereditary titles of his great-grandson's branch. Feiyou City is the name of his ancestral home preserved in the original genealogy; its exact location still needs verification through geographical documents.

This great-grandson participated in the battles at Shanhaiguan and the pursuit of Tengjisi as a zuoling (a military officer), earning the rank of Yunqiwei (a military rank). He later died in battle at Dongchang Prefecture and was posthumously awarded the title of Qiduwei (a military rank), which was inherited by his son, Adai. Adai received three imperial edicts and was promoted to Second-Class Qingcheduwei (a military rank), which was subsequently inherited by Ajintai and Dehai. When the title passed to Maqing'a, the additional imperial edicts were removed, and he inherited the title of Qiduwei and served as a Third-Class Imperial Guard. The promotion, posthumous conferment, and inheritance of hereditary titles are different from actual appointments: zuoling managed banner personnel, Shi Wei was responsible for guarding and escorting the emperor, and Qingche Duwei indicated hereditary ranks of merit. The military achievements of this branch belong to the great-grandson and his descendants, not to Burihana himself. The electronic text displays one character from the great-grandson's name as an image; the complete character is pending verification against the original inscription. The main text retains the location of his relatives and confirmed deeds, without arbitrarily adding other individuals with the same name.
