ᡶᡝᠨᡤᠰᡥᡝᠨ
ᠴᡳᠨ ᠸᠠᠩ;hošoi fengšen cin wang), or simplyPrince Qing,was the title of aprincely peerageused in China during theManchu-ledQing dynasty(1644–1912). It was also one of the12 "iron-cap" princely peeragesin the Qing dynasty, which meant that the title could be passed down without being downgraded.
The first bearer of the title wasYonglin(1766–1820), the 17th son of theQianlong Emperor.He was awarded the title by his 15th brother, theJiaqing Emperor,who succeeded their father. Between 1820 and 1908, the Prince Qing title was capped at ajunwang(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 aqinwang(prince of the first rank)status. The title was passed down over four generations and held by five princes – threeqinwangs and twojunwangs.
