If your home is the Eight Banners Interior Department, it should be Wan Yan's. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Chengde Palace was expanded, so part of the Eight Banners of Beijing's internal affairs office was placed in the paddock, all of which were children of Buddhist Manchu. Two branches of the family came here with the surname Wang or Wang.

This situation may be more complicated if your family has never brought soldiers. Because there were Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in the paddock at that time, if the Mongolian Eight Banners won Wang Xing, it would be another matter.
