Saišangga

Saišangga (, , 1798–1875 ), courtesy name Heting (鶴汀), was a Qing dynasty official and linguist from the Mongolian Alut clan and the Mongolian Plain Blue Banner. He was the father of Imperial Noble Consort Gongsu. His third son was Chongqi.

Saišangga obtained juren degree in the Mongolian Translation Examination (蒙古繙譯) in 1816. The Translation Examination (繙譯科) was an imperial examination subject that only young Bannermen can participate in; the Mongolian Translation Examination required translating from Mongolian to Manchu. Influenced by his father Jinghui (景煇), whom was also a linguist, Saišangga was proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese. Therefore, he was highly valued by Daoguang and Xianfeng. He had served as Grand Councillor, Minister of Lifan Yuan, Minister of War, Minister of Works, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Personnel, Grand Secretary and other positions. During the First Opium War, he was twice sent to Tianjin to supervise the defense of the coast.
