The '''Bordered Yellow Banner''' ({{zh|t=鑲黃旗}}) was one of the [[Eight Banners]] of [[Manchu people|Manchu]] military and society during the [[Later Jin (1616–1636)|Later Jin]] and [[Qing dynasty]] of China. The Bordered Yellow Banner was one of three "upper" banner armies under the direct command of the [[Emperor of China|emperor]] himself, and one of the four "left wing" banners.{{sfn|Elliott|2001|p=79}} The [[Plain Yellow Banner]] and the Bordered Yellow Banner were split from each other in 1615, when the troops of the original four banner armies (Yellow, Blue, Red, and White) were divided into eight by adding a bordered variant to each banner's design.{{sfn|Elliott|2001|p=59}} The yellow banners were originally commanded personally by [[Nurhaci]]. After Nurhaci's death, his son [[Hong Taiji]] became [[Khan (title)|khan]], and took control of both yellow banners. Later, the [[Shunzhi Emperor]] took over the Plain White Banner after the death of his regent, [[Dorgon]], to whom it previously belonged. From that point forward, the emperor directly controlled three "upper" banners (Plain Yellow, Bordered Yellow, and [[Plain White]]), as opposed to the other five "lower" banners.{{sfn|Wakeman|1985|p=158}}{{sfn|Elliott|2001|pp=404-405}} Because of the direct control of the three upper banners, there was no appointed banner commanders as opposed to the other five. The emperor's personal guards and guards of [[Forbidden City]] were also only selected from the upper three banners.<ref>清史稿</ref>
