Enehe

Overview

Enehe, also known as Enehe, appears in Volume 58 of the *Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners* under the entry for the Cangmarji clan. Belonging to the Bordered Yellow Banner, his family had long resided in Bixin and he had served as a zuoling (military officer). The original text explicitly states that the year of his submission is unknown, and the early submission of Alu in the neighboring entry cannot be used to supplement the date.

Cangmarji is listed as a Manchu surname, and the clan's general description mentions Heilongjiang and Bixin. Enehe's branch originally resided in Bixin, but the modern location still needs historical and geographical verification; Heilongjiang is a clue to the distribution of other clan members and cannot be automatically integrated into his migration history.

A zuoling can refer to either a basic unit within the Eight Banners or the official in charge of that unit. The phrase "former zuoling" in this entry refers to an official position, whose responsibilities included managing the household registration, land, and military registers, not simply the name of one person representing the entire unit. The Bordered Yellow Banner only provides the flag color and general organization. The original text does not specify the specific Zuo-ling (military commanders) under its jurisdiction, their garrison locations, and terms of office, nor does it provide information on the succession of descendants. Therefore, it cannot be said that it was the founder of a Zuo-ling in a certain place or the ancestor of a hereditary family.
