Changhua

Changhua, a member of the Qing imperial family, was a son of Emperor Kangxi. His biological mother was the Malonji clan. According to the "Four Genealogies of the Qing Imperial Family," Changhua was born on the sixth day of the fourth lunar month in the thirteenth year of Kangxi's reign (1674), which corresponds to May 11, 1674, in the Gregorian calendar. At that time, Emperor Kangxi was twenty-one years old in his nominal age. Changhua was the sixth son born to Kangxi but died prematurely and thus did not become an official prince in the formal succession sequence. He was a full brother to Yinzi, sharing the same mother and father; Yinzi was his younger brother. Changhua died after just one day of life.

There are no additional records about his life—such as his birthplace, education, or involvement in state affairs—in existing historical documents. According to the "Four Genealogies of the Qing Imperial Family," due to his untimely death, he was not included in the official royal prince register.

In the official genealogy structure, prematurely deceased princes often did not proceed into subsequent court activities, and Changhua's death resulted in a lack of independent records of his life's deeds. The details concerning his birth and death dates, as well as his relationship to his full brothers, are based on the "Four Genealogies of the Qing Imperial Family" with no other verifiable supplementary information. Existing records only focus on his identity as a son of Emperor Kangxi and the fact of his early death, with no further data regarding his education, responsibilities as an adult, or participation in governance.

The information contained in this entry is derived from the "Four Genealogies of the Qing Imperial Family," which documents the lineage and offspring of the Kangxi era royal members. This source holds significant value for studying Qing imperial bloodlines and succession lineage, especially regarding early-deceased princes and their recorded sequences.
