Clan and Banner Background

The Sulala clan is recorded in volume 59 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with Heilongjiang as its ancestral region. Takai of the Bordered Yellow Banner submitted during the Tiancong period. His son Nuo'endu became a first-class imperial bodyguard; his grandsons Subu'ertu and Esente served as a ministry assistant director and guard-company officer respectively. These named careers were added to the master record after consultation of the genealogical text.

Family Service and Distinctions

A first-class imperial bodyguard belonged to the emperor's personal security and escort organization. An assistant director was a bureaucratic post, while a guard-company officer supervised guard troops. These offices belong to different generations and institutions; they cannot all be attributed to Takai, nor can a ministry grade be converted into a guard rank.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

The Tiancong reign belonged to the Later Jin period under Hong Taiji and dates Takai's submission rather than the service of every descendant. “Heilongjiang” is a broad historical ancestral designation. The source does not supply a precise village, an original Manchu spelling, or the departments in which individual descendants served. Such details must remain unresolved rather than be reconstructed from a similar-sounding surname.
