Tian Wenjing (simplified Chinese: 田文镜; traditional Chinese: 田文鏡; pinyin: Tián Wénjìng; 1662 – December 24, 1732), styled Yiguang (抑光), was a prominent mandarin who lived during the reign of the Kangxi and Yongzheng Emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
[1] Tian hailed from the Plain Yellow Banner of the Han Chinese military under the Qing Dynasty command.
In 1734 after Yongzheng ascended the throne Tian was named governor of Henan, and was promoted to Governor-General (zongdu) several years later.
In the show, Tian's work in the south is used as a pretext for the eighth prince Yunsi to criticize the policies of Yongzheng.
Tian also appeared in the 2002 TV series Grain Storage (天下粮仓) as a negative character.
