Yonglin

Yonglin (17 June 1766 – 25 April 1820), formally known as Prince Qing, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty in China.

Yonglin was born in the Aisin-Gioro clan as the 17th and youngest son of the Qianlong Emperor. His mother, Empress Xiaoyichun, also bore the Qianlong Emperor's 15th son, Yongyan (the Jiaqing Emperor); Yonglin and the Jiaqing Emperor were thus full brothers.

In 1775, his birth mother died of illness. He was raised by Noble Consort Ying in Jingren Palace.

In 1789, Yonglin was granted the title of a beile. He was promoted to junwang (second-rank prince) in 1799 under the title "Prince Hui of the Second Rank" (惠郡王), but was later renamed to "Prince Qing of the Second Rank" (慶郡王). The Jiaqing Emperor gave him Heshen's former residence as his personal mansion. In 1820, Yonglin was promoted to qinwang (first-rank prince), hence he was known as "Prince Qing of the First Rank" (慶親王). He died in the same year and was buried somewhere in the present-day Baiyanggou Natural Scenic Area, which is located southwest of Beijing's Changping District.

Around 1851, during the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor, the Imperial Household Department took back the Prince Qing's Mansion from Yonglin's descendants. A year later, the Xianfeng Emperor gave the mansion to his sixth brother, Prince Gong. The mansion, now called the Prince Gong's Mansion, is a museum open to the public.
