My surname is Manchu, and I come from Weichang County, Chengde, Hebei Province. What is the Eight Banners? It is urgent. Come and answer me, God knows.

Manchu surnames are not necessarily related to flags. The Eight Banners was a military and political organization in the Qing Dynasty, just like today's military region. In a military unit like the military region, of course, there are surnames and whatnot. Like today's military units, the work of flag bearers in the Qing Dynasty was also frequently mobilized. Moving from one flag to another is called raising the flag, and its flag will change with the transfer of work. Sometimes the father is blue and the son may be white. My brother is inlaid with red, and my brother may be yellow. These phenomena were very common at that time.

Manchu has more than 600 surnames, so it is impossible to set up a flag for each surname, otherwise there will be more than 600 flags.

So don't judge flags by their surnames.

Some Manchu people are named Guan, some Gannu, some Kunnile, and some are named Gongjilat Banner of Eight Banners Mongolia.

You'd better go back to your hometown and check your family tree.

Besides, the man downstairs is talking nonsense. There is no official surname in the Eight Banners Han Army, and the Manchu who takes the official surname must be Eight Banners Manchuria or Eight Banners Mongolia.
