He Luo Nuo

Overview

He Luonuo and He Luonuo appear in Volume 55 of the *General Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, under the entry for the Hong'e Clan of Zhaiqi. Sengse, a third-class imperial guard, fought in the campaigns in Jiangxi and Guangdong and was posthumously awarded the title of Yunqiwei. The original text records He Luonuo as "the son of his elder brother," indicating he inherited the title. This suggests he was the son of the deceased's elder brother, but it is unclear which brother he was born to, and it cannot be arbitrarily attributed to Marji or Suozhu.

The Yunqiwei title was a hereditary honor, inheritable based on verified kinship, unlike the actual positions of imperial guard or military officer. He Luonuo's fact is that he inherited the title; the original entry does not record his campaigns as a third-class imperial guard. The military exploits of his uncles and posthumous awards cannot be attributed to the heir's own military merit.

This branch of the Hong'e Clan belonged to the Bordered Yellow Banner and originally resided in Changbai Mountain; their surname originated from the mountain's name. The genealogy continues the lineage record with "Sun Hashitai," but the ancestral lineage must be verified against the original printed edition and the family genealogy; it cannot be fixed solely based on a transcription without punctuation. The ancestor Zhaiqi's submission to the state at its beginning is a family background, but it does not mean that Heluonuo also submitted at the beginning of the state. Existing data can confirm his status as a collateral descendant, but his birth and death dates, official appointments, and the dates of his hereditary titles remain unclear.
