Prince Chun (醇)

Prince Chun of the First Rank (Manchu: ᡥᠣᡧᠣᡳ
ᡤᡠᠯᡠ
ᠴᡳᠨ ᠸᠠᠩ
; hošoi gulu cin wang), or simply Prince Chun, was the title of a princely peerage used in China during the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1644–1912). It was also one of the 12 "iron-cap" princely peerages in the Qing dynasty, which meant that the title could be passed down without being downgraded.

Yixuan (1840–1891), the first Prince Chun
Zaifeng (1883–1951), the second Prince Chun

The first bearer of the title was Yixuan (1840–1891), the seventh son of the Daoguang Emperor. He was awarded the title by his fourth brother, the Xianfeng Emperor, who succeeded their father. The title was passed down over two generations and held by only two persons – Yixuan and his fifth son, Zaifeng (1883–1951) – who were the biological fathers of the penultimate and last emperors of the Qing dynasty respectively.
