Clan and Banner Background

The Zhangjin clan is recorded in volume 54 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with families from Feiyalang'a and other places. Song'eli of the Plain Blue Banner has no known submission year. His grandson Shuoli fought in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Yunnan as an acting guard-company officer and earned a hereditary yunqiwei. Having no son, Shuoli was succeeded by his brother's son Sa'ertu and subsequently by Sa'erpa, who served as both first-class household guard and niru commander when the genealogy was compiled.

Family Service and Distinctions

Other members of the same branch included Zhangliu, a ceremonial announcer, and Tekeshen, a deputy guard-battalion commander. A separate Bordered Yellow Banner line descended from Hangsuli in the Zhan area. The descendant Guozhu undertook military duties as an acting janggin and received yunqiwei, inherited by Yuzhu. Additional branches from Changbai, Shenyang, Huifa, and Ula had varying booi and ordinary banner registrations.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Ceremonial announcers guided rites, while guard commanders and niru officers performed military or registration duties. An acting appointment should not be rewritten as a confirmed permanent office. Succession through collateral relatives must likewise be preserved. Exact places, interbranch relationships, and appointment dates remain under review.
