Clan and Banner Background
The Yuhulu clan is recorded in volume 46 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with families from Yuhulu and other regions. Dayang'a of the Plain Red Banner lived at Yuhulu and submitted during the Tiancong era. Fighting in Shandong while not holding an office, he earned a baturu bravery designation and the hereditary award qidu wei. Imperial favour later raised the title to second-class qingche duwei. When Xiluntai succeeded, however, the increment granted by favour was removed, leaving qidu wei.
Family Service and Distinctions
A Plain White Banner branch descended from Fazhao originated at Hurha and submitted early. Fazhao's son Kukade served as assistant banner commander and died at Quzhou in Zhejiang after campaigns in Yunnan and Guizhou. He received a posthumous qidu wei, inherited by his elder brother's son Hulibu because Kukade had no heir. A Bordered Blue Banner line from Changbai included Lengge, who earned yunqiwei in Sichuan as a niru commander; a Neyin branch descended from Shage also had military distinctions.
Kinship, Succession, and Evidence
The bravery honorific baturu, nonappointed bannerman status, actual military commands, and hereditary rewards have different institutional meanings. The separate families' homes, dates, and succession lines must not be combined into one person's migration or service record. The locality Yuhulu remains to be identified more precisely.
