Manduhun

Overview

Manduhun is a member of the Bordered Yellow Banner under the "Zhuojin Clan" entry in Volume 58 of the *Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*. His family had lived in the Changbai Mountains region for generations. The book lists him among those who surrendered at the beginning of the dynasty, but does not directly record his specific official position.

His son, Sahalian, served as a Vanguard Commander; his grandson, Changshou, served as a Guardsman; and his sons, Duokui and Santai, served as Cavalry Commanders. His great-grandson, Erse, served as a Cavalry Commander when the genealogy was compiled. These descendants' titles relate to the Vanguard Battalion, the Guardsman organization, and the Eight Banners Cavalry Battalion; their affiliation with the Eight Banners system does not automatically equate to Manduhun's career path.

"Former" and "current" indicate his position at the time of the genealogy's compilation, not the exact start and end dates of his service. The Changbai Mountains, as the clan's ancestral home, encompass a wide area, and the entry does not specify his exact village. Therefore, the existing historical value of Manduhun lies in confirming his lineage within the Zhuojin Clan, his Bordered Yellow Banner identity, and the official relationships of his descendants, rather than supplementing his biography and military exploits without basis.
