Jueha

Overview

Jueha was a member of the Sakda clan, a bondservant of the Plain Red Banner, during the early Qing Dynasty. Volume 35 of the officially compiled *Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners* records that his family originally resided in Yehe, and that he submitted to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the dynasty. The annotation states that he was a member of the same clan as Banzhu Hu, who belonged to the same banner and village. His son, Huaita, served as an eighth-rank official; his grandsons, Waita, Waita, and Dayanga, served as fourth-rank officials; and Baidu served as a second-class bodyguard. Baidu served as a third-class bodyguard in campaigns in Zhejiang and Fujian, and was posthumously awarded the title of Yunqiwei.

Boatsership was a specific subordinate status. Officials and bodyguards belonged to the ceremonial escort system of princes and nobles, while bodyguards participated in the emperor's personal guard. These titles could not be interchanged due to similarity. Yunqiwei was a hereditary title, inherited by Baidu's son, Bierteng, who also served as a captain, and then passed to Luochang; the reward was separate from the actual military rank.

Later generations also included sixth-rank bondservant officials, scribes, and students, who were respectively involved in bondservant management, documentation, and educational qualifications. Yehe can be referenced to the present-day Yehe Manchu Town area in Tiedong District, Siping City, but specific old residences are not confirmed. The positions of officials of the eighth and sixth ranks, their affiliations with bondservant families, various princely residences, and hereditary chains are yet to be verified; fraternal relationships are not directly established among members of the same clan.
