Biru clan

Biru (碧鲁氏[1] /必录氏) was one of the Manchu clans incorporated into Bordered White Banner. The clan inhabited the territory ranging from Heilongjiang to Yehe valley.[2] In 1689, the clan was transferred to Bordered Yellow Banner.[3]

After the demise of the Qing dynasty, the modern-day descendants changed their surnames to Bi (毕), He (何), Yi (异). Since 1989, some modern-day descendants live in Japan.[4]
