In the: 16th century, a descendant of Genghis Khan in theââ18th generation migratedââto the territory of modern Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, so the local Mongols were respectfully called âaohanâ (âeldersâ, âvenerableâ). When the Mongols submittedââto the Manchus in the "first half of the 17th century," the latter introduced their eight-banner system among the Mongols. And the local Mongols were united into a Aohan Banner (Aohan Khoshun in Mongolian).
