The Yongzheng Emperor ruled Qing Dynasty China from 1722 to 1735. His reign saw the abolition of many underclasses in the official status system, ostensibly raising most if not all imperial subjects to the status of "free commoners."[1]
In 1724, the Yongzheng Emperor also declared proscriptions on Christianity, allowing exceptions for those with especially valuable skills, such as Jesuit astronomers.
