Buteha

Buteha was the Qing name for a hunting country along the Nen River and the neighboring Khingan forests. The word means hunting in Manchu, and the Solon and Daur households of the district supplied sable pelts as tribute. Others served in the banners or moved to frontier garrisons. A superintendent on the western bank of the Nen administered Buteha affairs under the general of Heilongjiang. In 1763 Solon and Daur soldiers and their families were selected for resettlement far to the west in Ili.
