Abstract: Qing Company Commanders can be divided into two broad categories，private and public，based on the method by which they were appointed． Private commanders were hereditary because they were direct descendents of previous company commanders． By the late Kangxi era the banner population had greatly expanded and those who qualified for hereditary status as commanders increased and lawsuits arose． By the Yongzheng reign this type of lawsuit was increasing day-by-day． In 1736，Emperor Qianlong issued an imperial order that that required the eight banners to report the origin of commanders and to draw up genealogies of commanders． On the basis of these genealogies the banners would determine the descendents of the commanders，grade two candidates for appointment． Eventually，this practice became The Imperial Commissioned Regulations and Precedents on Selection and Appointment of Company Commanders．

摘要： 清代佐领按其组成方式区分,可分为私属、公中两大类,其中私属又有勋旧、优异世管、世管、互管等诸名目。私属佐领有世袭性质,故承袭此类佐领者基本为原立佐领人之直系子孙。至康熙末年,旗人生齿日繁,具备承袭佐领资格者为承袭佐领,出现争讼现象,雍正朝此类争讼日益增多。乾隆元年谕令八旗奏报佐领根由,绘制佐领家谱,在此基础上,按原立佐领后裔之亲疏,确定承袭得分以拟正陪记名,终成《钦定拣放佐领则例》。
