Clan and Banner Background

The Yuhulu clan is recorded in volume 50 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its name is said there to derive from a locality, while different branches lived around Ying'e and other settlements. Juehetuo of the Plain White Banner submitted in the state's early years and served as a guard-company officer. He distinguished himself on campaigns in Huguang and Jiangxi, including operations near Jingzhou and Nanchang, and was wounded at Jiujiang. He received the hereditary title qidu wei, later increased by imperial favour to third-class qingche duwei.

Family Service and Distinctions

His award passed to descendants including Wata and Cunzhu. When Heidase succeeded, an increment bestowed by favour was removed, leaving him the qidu wei grade. A separate Bordered Yellow Banner line, descended from Damin of Muhushu village in the Yuhulu area, included Ang'adai and Hundali, who separately earned yunqiwei awards in campaigns across Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Huguang. Descendants also held civil positions such as transmission commissioner, assistant director of the Imperial Academy, and grand secretariat scholar.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Those posts illustrate diverse careers in education and central documentation alongside military service. Other branches are associated with Jamuhu, the Songhua River, and Hurha. A surname arising from a place does not mean that all descendants remained in one village. The location of Muhushu and the precise connections among distant branches and hereditary successions require verification.
