Prince Qing

It was also one of the 12 "iron-cap" princely peerages in the Qing dynasty, which meant that the title could be passed down without being downgraded.

The first bearer of the title was Yonglin (1766–1820), the 17th son of the Qianlong Emperor.

He was awarded the title by his 15th brother, the Jiaqing Emperor, who succeeded their father.

However, from 1908 onwards, the title was accorded a qinwang (prince of the first rank) status.

The title was passed down over four generations and held by five princes – three qinwangs and two junwangs.
