List Of Emperors Of The Qing Dynasty
The Qing Dynasty was founded as the "Later Jin Dynasty" in 1616 by Nurhaci, a Manchu of the Aisin-Gioro Clan, his son Hong Taiji changed its name to "Qing" in 1636. It lasted until 1912. In China proper, the Qing dynasty succeeded the Ming in 1644, under the reign of the Shunzhi Emperor, when his uncle Dorgon was regent. Therefore the Shunzhi Emperor is the first Qing Emperor who can correctly be called Emperor of China. There were a total of 13 Qing rulers from Nurhaci, of which 11 were rulers of China proper. The Qing Dynasty was toppled in the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, although the last Emperor did not officially abdicate to make way for the new Republic of China until early 1912 and kept his title until 1924.
