Officially, the Kangxi Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

He ascended the Dragon Throne at the age of seven as the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and as the second of the line to reign in China proper after the Manchus captured Beijing. At one and a half months short of 62 years, his era is considered the longest in Chinese history.

However, his grandson, the Qianlong Emperor, who abdicated (out of respect for his illustrious grandfather) after 60 years on the throne continued holding de facto power as Retired Emperor (太上皇) for 3 years till his death at the age of 88.

Kangxi: born 4 May 1653, reigned 5 February 1661 to 20 December 1722.

Qianlong: born 25 September 1711, reigned 8 October 1735 to 9 February 1796, died 7 February 1799.
