Longqing

Longqing (simplified Chinese: 隆庆; traditional Chinese: 隆慶; pinyin: Lóngqìng; Wade–Giles: Lung-ch'ing; lit. 'great celebration'; 9 February 1567 – 1 February 1573) was the era name (nianhao) of the Longqing Emperor (1566–1572), the 13th emperor of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). It was used for a total of six years. During the Longqing period, the Ming dynasty adopted a series of new policies to revive the country's prestige, which is known in historiography as the "New Governance of Longqing" (隆慶新政).

On 19 July 1572 (Longqing 6, 10th day of the 6th month), the Wanli Emperor ascended to the throne and continued to use it. The following year, the era was changed to Wanli.[1][2]
