Historically, Yongxing (Prince Cheng; 1752-1823) was the eleventh son of the Qianlong Emperor. From a young age, he excelled in calligraphy, even arousing the admiration of the emperor himself. During his father’s reign, he was appointed one of the chiefs in charge of editing the ‘Collectanea of imperial books’. He led an enjoyable artistic life dedicated to the study of calligraphy and poetry, except for a year or so, during his brother Jiaqing’s reign in 1799, when he temporarily undertook two positions as acting minister for the Board of Revenue and as minister of the Board of Civil Office. | Historically, Yongxing (Prince Cheng; 1752-1823) was the eleventh son of the Qianlong Emperor.
