Introduction

Lunghi (Manchu: ᠯᡠᠩᡥᡳ; Chinese: 隆禧), born on May 30, 1660, died on August 20, 1679, was a prince of the Qing dynasty. He was the seventh son of the Shunzhi Emperor and was designated as the first holder of the title Prince Chun of the First Rank from 1674 until his death in 1679. The peerage was not granted iron-cap status, which meant that his successors would hold diminished ranks.

Lunghi's mother was Lady Niu (钮氏). During the period when Qing dynasty rulers had not yet developed a formal rank system for imperial consorts, her position was classified as a mistress (庶妃). His father, the Shunzhi Emperor, died shortly after Lunghi's birth. At the time of the Emperor's funeral, his mother was promoted to the position of secondary consort (侧妃). In 1674, Lunghi was granted the peerage title Prince Chun of the First Rank. The following year, he was appointed as a fourth-rank military official.

Lunghi died in 1679. His half-brother, the Kangxi Emperor, observed three days of court mourning and attended his funeral, as the Grand Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was unable to participate in the ceremony. Lunghi was posthumously honored with the title Prince Chunjing of the First Rank (純靖親王), which translates to "pure and tranquil." His only son was Fu'erhulun, who inherited the peerage. Fu'erhulun died prematurely in 1681 at the age of two, resulting in the extinction of the peerage.

Following Lunghi's death, Emperor Kangxi considered posthumously adopting his seventh surviving son, Yunyou, as Lunghi's successor. However, because posthumous adoptions were prohibited by law, Kangxi established a separate title of Prince Chun of the Second Rank, which included the character 'chun' and the Kangxi radical 86 (“water”).

Lunghi was married to Lady Shang, the first daughter of Shang Zhilong, a son of Shang Kexi. She served as the prince consort of Princess Heshun of the Second Rank, who was adopted as a daughter of the Shunzhi Emperor. Lunghi's primary consort was from the Shang clan (嫡福晋 尚氏), and she was titled as the primary consort of Prince Chun, later known as the primary consort of Prince Chunjing.

Lunghi's tomb is located to the west of the tomb of Prince Yuxian of the First Rank, Fuquan. The surrounding garden is shared with that of Prince Yuxian. The tomb features a pavilion with a fountain decorated with white jadeite carvings of crabs, Ao turtles, and shrimps.
