The Han Chinese Eight Banners played an important role in Qing conquest of Ming. After that Qing dynasty started governing the whole China. After this period being admitted into the Han Chinese Eight Banners (Chinese: 擡旗) became an honor for ordinary Han Chinese people.[4]: 84 

During the latter half of the 17th century, some members of the Han Chinese Eight Banners were required to leave it. This was known as "Hanjun Chuqi" in Chinese (Chinese: 漢軍出旗).[5]: 70
