Prince Shuncheng
Prince Shuncheng of the Second Rank, or simply Prince Shuncheng, 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.

The first bearer of the title was Lekdehun (1619–1652), a great-grandson of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing dynasty. In 1648, he was awarded the title "Prince Shuncheng of the Second Rank" by the Shunzhi Emperor. The emperor also granted "iron-cap" status to the peerage, which meant that the subsequent bearer of the title would be known as "Prince Shuncheng of the Second Rank" by default. In 1731, Xibao (1688–1742), the eighth Prince Shuncheng, was promoted from a junwang (second-rank prince) to qinwang (first-rank prince), hence he became known as "Prince Shuncheng of the First Rank". However, in 1733, Xibao was stripped of his title for committing an offence, and his title was then downgraded back to "Prince Shuncheng of the Second Rank" and passed on to his son, Xiliang (died 1744). The Prince Shuncheng peerage was passed down over 11 generations and held by 16 persons.
