What is Qianlong Emperor?
[[File:清 郎世宁绘《清高宗乾隆帝朝服像》.jpg|thumb|200px]] The '''Qianlong Emperor''' (25 September 1711 – 7 February 1799) was the fifth [[Emperor of the Qing Dynasty]] and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China proper, reigning from 1735 to 1796. Born [[Hongli]], the fourth son of the [[Yongzheng Emperor]], he reigned officially from 11 October 1735 to 8 February 1796. In 1796, he abdicated in favour of his son, the [[Jiaqing Emperor]], out of filial piety towards his grandfather, the [[Kangxi Emperor]], who ruled for 61 years, so that he would remain the longest-reigning emperor. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:1711 births]] [[Category:1799 deaths]] [[Category:Emperors of Qing Dynasty]] [[Category:18th century in China]] {{bio-stub}}
