Dahuli Clan

Overview

The Dahuli clan is a Manchu surname listed in Volume 61 of the official genealogy of the Manchu clans of the Eight Banners, compiled during the Qianlong reign. Their ancestral home was Uhuli. The year of Suipeng'e's submission to the Qing dynasty under the Bordered Red Banner is unknown. His son, Zhaisong'a, and grandson, Deboleng, both served as military officers. These positions belonged to the descendants of father and son, not to Suipeng'e himself, and it is incorrect to change the grandson's name to his son's.

A military officer was a low-ranking officer in the military organization, managing his assigned troops and undertaking guard and campaign duties. It was a substantive position, unlike hereditary positions such as Yunqiwei. While both father and son served as military officers, the original text does not prove automatic hereditary succession for the same position; whether they belonged to the same unit and the order of appointment requires further examination of their individual records.

Uhuli is the ancestral home recorded in the genealogy, while Dahuli is the clan name. The Bordered Red Banner indicates organizational affiliation. These Chinese names cannot be used to infer that the surname originated from that location simply because their pronunciations are similar; the original text does not provide this etymological explanation. The year of submission is unknown and cannot be filled in by dates from adjacent entries. This section can serve as a clue to identify the military service of the descendants of this family. The specific village, Manchu surname, place of office and term of office of each person still need to be verified. No unrecorded battles or titles will be added.
