Overview
Niyahuli appears in the entry for the Ximole clan in Volume 57 of the Qing Dynasty official genealogy, *The Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*.
Historical records indicate his banner affiliation was the Plain White Banner.
His family had lived in the Lamenmuhu region for generations.
The original text records his official position as a "Xiaoqi Xiao" (NiaoQiXiao, a military officer) under his name.
Clan Affiliation: The Ximole clan is a Manchu clan name included in the *Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*.
Niyahuli's inclusion under this clan name indicates that this is a family record preserved using the clan as an organizational unit; the clan affiliation here comes from the original book's arrangement, not merely from inference based on his name.
Banner Affiliation Background: The Plain White Banner was part of the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners system.
The Plain White Banner recorded in the *Genealogy* is Niyahuli's banner affiliation information, not necessarily indicating that he held any official position.
Ancestral Residence: The *Genealogy* records his family's traditional place of residence as "the Lamenmuhu region."
Family records: The same genealogical text also lists descendants, including son Nahara and grandson Murtaiju.
These names reflect the generational threads recorded in historical texts; the official positions held by these descendants are not considered part of Niyahuli's own resume.
