Baturu
Erscheinungsbild
Vorlage:Unreferenced Baturu is a title from the Qing Dynasty for commanders and soldiers who fight bravely in a battlefield. In Manchu, baturu means warrior or brave. It is originally from the Mongolian word "baγatur" which has the same meaning.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, only Manchu or Mongolian soldiers were qualified to earn the title. In the Chia-Ching period, over 100 years after the dynasty was founded, the ruler started to give the title to the Chinese soldiers. Since the Shien-Fong period, non-military people and foreigners started to have a chance to earn the baturu title.
