*''Reign: [[1722]]-[[1735]]''
*''Chinese'': 雍正帝 ''(Yōngzhèng dì)''
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."<ref>Matthew Sommer, "Foreword," Amy Stanley, ''Selling Women: Prostitution, Markets, and the Household in Early Modern Japan'', UC Press (2012), xv.</ref>
In [[1724]], the Yongzheng Emperor also declared proscriptions on Christianity, allowing exceptions for those with especially valuable skills, such as Jesuit astronomers.
