Zhang Yunjiao

Overview

Zhang Yunjiao appears in Volume 75 of the Qing Dynasty official genealogy, *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*. The original entry consisted of basic information including banner affiliation, ancestral home, time of submission, and posthumous official positions of descendants. The genealogy lists Zhang Yunjiao under the heading "Zhang Clan," but the main subject remains Zhang Yunjiao himself; the surname heading indicates the arrangement and cannot replace his full name. According to the original entry, Zhang Yunjiao was a bondservant of the Bordered Blue Banner, residing in Jinzhou, and submitted during the Tiancong era. The genealogy subsequently preserves the following kinship and official position chain: his great-grandson, Zhang Si, is currently a military officer. The original transcription reads "Bian Ren, Bondservant of the Bordered Blue Banner"; the same page in the same volume also temporarily uses "Bian Ren," likely due to issues with the character form of "servant" or transcription problems. "Jinzhou" is a historical geographical description in the genealogy, establishing a broad connection with the same area today, but insufficient to pinpoint a specific modern village or town.
