Yingkun

Overview

Yingkun appears in the Wang family entry of Volume 75 of the Qing Dynasty official compilation, *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*. Historical records state his banner affiliation as a bondservant of the Bordered Blue Banner. His family had long resided in Gaizhou. Clan Affiliation: Yingkun is listed under this clan name, indicating 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 speculation based on the name. Banner Background: The Bordered Blue Banner belonged to the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty. After the Shunzhi Emperor, this banner belonged to the Lower Five Banners. The Bordered Blue Banner recorded in the *Comprehensive Genealogy* is Yingkun's banner affiliation information, not necessarily indicating that he held any official position. Place of Residence: The *Comprehensive Genealogy* records his family's traditional place of residence as "long-term residence in Gaizhou." Family Records: The same section of the genealogy also lists descendants, including his grandson Wang Jinchao. These names reflect the generational threads recorded in historical records; the official positions held by these descendants are not considered part of Yingkun's personal resume.
