Clan and Banner Background

The Shumuli clan is listed in volume 58 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its two recorded ancestral settlements were Hailanmu and Sa'erbitu village. Esi of the Bordered Blue Banner came from Hailanmu and submitted early. Sandali, also of the Bordered Blue Banner, was associated with Sa'erbitu and is described as returning from Khorchin during the Kangxi reign. These were different forms and periods of movement, not one collective submission.

Family Service and Distinctions

Esi's son Bulai held an assistant directorship of a ministry, a grandson Wohe was a bithesi, and a great-grandson He'erte became a niru commander. An assistant director was a civil bureau officer, though the text does not specify Bulai's department; a bithesi handled documentary and translation affairs, while a niru commander managed a banner company. These posts belonged to three successive generations, not Esi alone.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

The Sandali entry provides no actual office and should not be expanded with one. Return from Khorchin is evidence about administrative and migration history, not the etymology of the surname or a statement of modern ethnicity. The source does not explicitly call Esi and Sandali father and son or brothers. Their exact settlements and connection remain unknown.
