About Yonghuang

Lived 1728 – 1750 (aged 21). Yonghuang was a Chinese.

Yonghuang (Manchu: Yong huwang; 5 July 1728 – 21 April 1750), posthumous name Prince Ding'an of the First Rank, was an imperial prince of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty of China. He was the eldest son of the Qianlong Emperor. His mother was Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin. He was posthumously accorded the noble title Prince Ding of the First Rank.

Life His mother Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin died when he was very young. In 1748, while the Qianlong Emperor was on an inspection tour in southern China, his first empress consort, Empress Xiaoxianchun, died. Yonghuang, as the emperor's eldest son, was tasked with overseeing the empress's funeral. Yonghuang and his third brother, Yongzhang (永璋; 1735–1760), did not mourn the empress as deeply as expected. When the Qianlong Emperor found out later, he was extremely displeased, so he reprimanded Yonghuang and Yongzhang and removed them from his list of potential successors.

Yonghuang died in 1750. The Qianlong Emperor deeply regretted his earlier decision but it was too late. He gave Yonghuang the posthumous title "Prince Ding'an of the First Rank".
