Liu Qiyong

Overview

Liu Qiyong is listed in Volume 76 of the *Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, under the entry for the Liu family. He belonged to the Bordered Yellow Banner's bondservant bannermen, and his family had lived in the Sanhan region for generations. The genealogy states that the year of his arrival is unknown, and it does not specify what official position Liu Qiyong held. Specific historical materials about this branch mainly consist of records of official positions held from his sons to his great-great-grandsons.

His son, Liu Mingshi, served as a prefect; Liu Mingzhang served as a secretary and commander. His grandson, Liu Shiyao, served as a treasurer; and Liu Shikun served as an assistant secretary. His great-grandson, Liu Zhonglin, served as a commander and commander at the time the genealogy was compiled. His great-great-grandsons, Liu Bin, served as an assistant secretary; Liu Hao served as a clerk; Liu Sheng served as a military officer; Liu Cheng served as a cavalry officer; and Liu Run was a probationary clerk. This shows that members of the same branch held local administrative positions as well as positions in treasury management, clerical work, and banner camp affairs.

The phrase "waiting candidate for scribe" should not omit the word "waiting" and should be rewritten as "current scribe in office." The titles "Langzhong concurrently serving as zuoling" and "Canling concurrently serving as zuoling" should be attributed to Liu Mingzhang and Liu Zhonglin respectively. "Sanhan" is the ancestral home name used in genealogy books and is not equivalent to a modern administrative address that can be directly filled in. This entry cannot supplement Liu Qiyong's official career based on the official titles of his descendants.
