Prince Qing
Prince Qing of the First Rank (Manchu: ; ''hošoi fengšen cin wang''), or simply Prince Qing, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). It was also one of the 12 "iron-cap" princely peerages in the Qing dynasty, which meant that the title could be passed down without being downgraded. The first bearer of the title was Yonglin (1766–1820), the 17th son of the Qianlong Emperor. He was awarded the title by his 15th brother, the Jiaqing Emperor, who succeeded their father. Between 1820 and 1908, the Prince Qing title was capped at a ''junwang'' (prince of the second rank) status, which meant that the next bearer of the title would inherit, at most, the title "Prince Qing of the Second Rank". However, from 1908 onwards, the title was accorded a ''qinwang'' (prince of the first rank) status. The title was passed down over four generations and held by five princes – three ''qinwang''s and two ''junwang''s. Members of th ...

The word is also sometimes used to describe an elaborate building used for public entertainment or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
