HeSheLi / HeSheLi
Heseri Hala is a Manchu surname associated with the Plain Yellow and Bordered Yellow Banners. Its descendants are distributed mainly in Beijing, Liaoning, and Jilin, and the surname was simplified to forms such as He and He.
Heseri is a Chinese phonetic transcription of a Manchu term. Its original meaning is explained in two ways, as a river name or a tribal name; written records trace it back to the Jin dynasty, when it was rendered as Heshi lie.
Heseri Hala appears in the Qing Dynasty Tongdian, in the section on Manchu Eight Banner surnames, and is also written Hesheli. Qing records also use Heishe li and Hesheli, while the Eight Banner Manchu Genealogical Register standardizes it as Heseri.
Early Heseri communities lived in Hada, Hoifa, Foala, Bodune, Changbai Mountain, the Dorji River, and Sekin in Heilongjiang. One Longbaoyu He lineage records that its founding migrant Bandi was stationed in Xiuyan in the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi reign and settled there.
Figures associated with the surname include Heshi lie Zhining and Heshi lie Liangbi of the Jin dynasty, Sonin in the early Qing, and Sotu in the Kangxi era. Imperial consorts included the Kangxi Emperor's Empress Xiaochengren and Consort Ping, and the Tongzhi Emperor's Imperial Noble Consort Jingyi.
