Shiwei(侍衛) is an important and unique system in Qing Dynasty. During the period of Qianlong era(乾隆時期), lots of wars happened in the borderlines, so there were more and more shiwei joined the army, regarded as troops during the wars, and the military decoration could be a quicker pace than the ordinary promotion for shiwei, which not only reflected the Manchu martial tradition, but also reflected the characteristics of the title of shiwei. Good riding and shooting skills(騎射技藝) are necessary skill in the army, but the riding and shooting requirement for shiwei are much more sophisticated, which is also associated with shiwei's warlike character. In addition, according to the Qing system, Han Chinese could be not the Qianqingmen shiwei(乾清門侍衛) and Yuqian shiwei(御前侍衛), but actually there are many exceptions. For instance,Yang Fang(楊芳), Liu Guoliang(劉國梁), Chen Dayong(陳大用), Yang Yuchun(楊遇春), Liu Guoqing(劉國慶), Yue Zhonghuang(岳鐘璜), Yu Buyun(余步雲), Liurong Qing(劉榮慶), were Qianqingmen shiwei and Yuqian shiwei, this article will discuss how these Han Chinese could be promoted to such high level, demonstrating how the military decoration could benift to their career.
