Clan and Banner Background

The Sujia clan appears in volume 48 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with branches in Yehe and elsewhere. Niyaxing'a of the Plain Red Banner submitted early. His great-grandson Guimuchen died as the first man to scale the walls at Tancheng in Shandong and received a posthumous qidu wei. His son Nikan inherited, and imperial favour later raised the hereditary award to second-class qingche duwei. Subsequent succession passed among relatives including Fuersai, Wa'erda, Fumuqi, and A'hai.

Family Service and Distinctions

A fifth-generation member, Kalai, independently earned qidu wei while serving as an acting company-group commander in campaigns in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Yunnan. His descendants included Ayang'a and E'luntai. Ayang'a also advanced from second-class household guard to banner commander at Tianjin, and his actual appointments must not disappear beneath his hereditary status.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Other branches belonged to the Plain and Bordered Red, White, and Blue banners, with ancestral homes in Yehe, Jakumu, Nimaman, and elsewhere. One booi line descended from Subaihe was associated with Neyin. Banner colour, booi affiliation, ancestral settlement, actual posts, and inherited titles are distinct. The precise links between branches and dates of awards require further study.
