Jiaqing Emperor

1760 CE1820 CE · Beijing

The Jiaqing Emperor (1760-1820) was the sixth emperor of China's Qing dynasty, reigning from 1796 to 1820, though he exercised full power only after the death of his father, the retired Qianlong Emperor, in 1799. He moved quickly against Qianlong's favorite Heshen, whose vast corruption he confiscated, and spent much of his reign contending with the costly White Lotus Rebellion and mounting fiscal strain. His reign is often seen by historians as the point at which the long decline of the Qing dynasty began.
