Dangge

Overview

Dangge: Dangge is a figure listed in Volume 53 of the *Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, under the name of the Emotuo clan. He belonged to the Bordered Red Banner and lived in Nimacha for generations, submitting to the Qing dynasty at its beginning.

The original book lists his great-grandson Tushu as a Vanguard Commander, his fourth-generation descendant Zaobao as a Guard Commander, Weizhongge as an Assistant Director, his fifth-generation descendant Hedou as a Guard Commander, and his sixth-generation descendant Baishanbao as a Chancellor and Zhuolonga as a scribe during the compilation.

The Vanguard Commander and Guard Commander belonged to the Vanguard and Guard Commander organizations respectively, both involved in soldier training and related guard duties, but were not the same position.

An Assistant Director was a professional official in the government; a Chancellor belonged to the ceremonial guidance and chanting system, but their specific affiliation is not recorded, so their official department cannot be determined.

A scribe (bithesi in Manchu) is related to "bithe" meaning "book" or "document," handling official written affairs.

Emotuo is a Manchu clan name; the Bordered Red Banner was part of the Eight Banners system; Nimacha was their ancestral home.

Whether each level corresponds to the same lineage, the actual era, and the modern location of Nimacha requires further verification through genealogy and other official appointment data.
