Sirin Gioro is one of the principal branches of the Gioro clan and a prominent Manchu surname. Its members were distributed across numerous localities, including Wangjin, Foala, the Changbai Mountains, Ningguta, Jiyang, Hoifa, Jakumu, Nimaca, and Hada.[1] Following the fall of the Qing dynasty, members of the clan generally adopted Chinese surnames such as Zhao, È, Shao, Yue, Chen, Huang, Li, and Shu.[2]

Overview

Grand councillor Ortai, a descendant of Tundai

Tundai family

The most distinguished branch descended from Tundai (屯台) of Wangjin,[3] who joined the rise of Nurhaci in the early years. Nurhaci held him in high regard, arranging marriage alliances between their families and appointing him as a nirui janggin with the hereditary rank of baitalabure hafan. Tundai's eldest son Tumen inherited the title and was mortally wounded during the Siege of Dalinghe. Hong Taiji personally visited him, and later posthumously honored him; during the Yongzheng reign, Tumen was further posthumously elevated in recognition of the achievements of his great-grandson Ortai.[4]

Tumen's descendants included many banner officers and military commanders, but the most prominent line descended from his third son Oboi (鄂拜).[5] Oboi's fourth son Ortai rose to become Grand Secretary of the Baohe Hall (文華殿大学士), Grand Councillor (軍機大臣), and a Earl Third-Class (三等伯爵) for his role in the pacification of southwestern native chieftains. Another son, Orci (鄂爾奇), attained the jinshi degree and served as Ministers of Revenue and War. Several later descendants also held high office.[6] Following Ortai's death, however, his family's political influence declined after being subjected to imperial suspicion and purges under the Qianlong Emperor.[7]

Tuntai's second son Muceng and several other clansmen, including the families of Sirengge, Udangga, and Gunbai, also held positions and earned minor hereditary nobles titles.[8]

Others

Other Sirin Gioro families were scattered across the neighboring regions of Wangjin. Descendants of Yarna, Larba, Benbunu, Buyan, Berengge, Yandai, etc. inherited ranks such as adaha hafan, baitalabure hafan, and served the Qing government in military and administrative positions.[9]
