My surname is Tang , may I ask what my Manchu surname is, and which banner I am of the Eight Banners

No matter which flag is Chinese, remember.

The surnames of the Manchu Eight Banners are Tong (Tong Jia), Guan (Guarjia), Ma (Ma Jia), Suo (Suo Xuanluo), He (Hesheri), Fu (Fucha), Na (Nala), Lang (Niu Hulu). The origin and evolution of the eight major surnames in Manchuria is an important topic in the study of the history of Manchu social development, and an indispensable project in the study of Manchu genealogy, which will provide a strong historical basis for all aspects of Manchu society in the early period.

The Manchus are the second largest of China's 55 ethnic minorities. The Manchus have their own language and writing, and the white mountains and black waters in the northeast are the homeland of the Manchus. The Manchu population is distributed throughout the country, with Liaoning, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Beijing and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, and others scattered in Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shandong, Hubei, Guizhou and other provinces and autonomous regions, as well as large and medium-sized cities such as Xi'an, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Fuzhou.

In the long-term historical development, the Manchu people have formed a customs and culture rich in national characteristics, and the customs of the Manchu people are mostly similar to those of the Han nationality, but they have maintained a lot of Manchu characteristics.

The "Eight Manchurian Surnames" are Tong (Tong Jia), Guan (Guarjia), Ma (Ma Jia), Suo (Suo Xuanluo), He (Hesheri), Fu (Fucha), Na (Nala), Lang (Niu Hulu) eight surnames.

The Eight Banners originally originated from the hunting organization of the Manchurian (Jurchen) people, and was the form of military organization of the social life of the Qing Dynasty banner people, as well as the fundamental system of the Qing Dynasty.

Before entering the customs, the two flags of the eight banners were directly led by the Khan (emperor), and the other six flags were led by the Khan's sons and nephews. In the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), Dolgon died, and the Shunzhi Emperor was in power, and the Zhengbai Banner under the jurisdiction of Dolgon was under the leadership of the emperor, so the upper three banners and the lower five banners were formed.

The Eight Banners system was consistent with the Qing regime, which was not only one of the important factors in the victory of the Qing Dynasty, but also made the Qing Dynasty eventually go to the road of decline and decline.

Evaluation of the Eight Flags System:

The Eight Banners system existed for 296 years from its formal establishment to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty after the Xinhai Revolution in 1911. It was an important military pillar of the Qing Dynasty's rule over the whole country, and made important contributions to the development and consolidation of China's multi-ethnic unified country, to defend the frontier against foreign aggression, and played an indelible role in the development of Manchu society.

With the changes of history, the backward side of the Eight Banners system has become more and more obvious, which has seriously constrained the development of the Manchu people, and their role in the conquest has become smaller and smaller. The Eight Banners system is closely linked to the fate of the Qing Dynasty, and has experienced the entire historical process from prosperity to decline and from decline to death.

That surname comes from the Nala clan, which ranks seventh among the eight Manchu surnames, and has all eight banners.

The Manchu clan is the seventh of the eight surnames among the Manchu clans in Liaodong. The surname comes from the polysyllabic Manchu surname Nala that is transliterated. The Nala clan is named after the river in the Nara River Valley, where the clan lived historically.

Although the Nala clan was a Manchurian surname, in the Ming Dynasty the clans were scattered in Yehe, Ula, Hada, Huifa and other places. Historical records record the surname Nala as: "Although they are one surname, each is a clan".

In this way, the records of historical materials confirm that the Jurchens with the surname Nala in the Ming Dynasty are not the same clan.

The Manchu clan of Liaodong is the descendant of the Nala clan contained in the clan genealogy and the ancestor of the first ancestor Naqibu, that is, the two Nala clans of Hada and Ula in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Nala clan in other tribes of the Haixi Jurchens is not related to the Nala clan of this tribe.
