Qianlong

Hello, my name is Qianlong; I was born October 8, 1735. I was a Chinese emperor of the Qing dynasty who subdued the Turkish and Mongolian threats to northern China, and expanded the empire. I was the fourth son of the Tongzheng Emperor. I took throne after my father and became Prince Bao. I was favored by my grandfather and I was also chosen as chief regent when my father was away from the capital. I helped spread Buddhism in Mongolia. When missions came from countries beyond my boundaries of the Qing empire, I was expected to fit in with the Confucian ceremonial system by which relations between the Qing emperor and other powers were formalized and Qing dynastic power manifested.
