Chronology of the Shunzhi reign


This is a chronicle of important events that took place under the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in what is now China. It spans from the death of his predecessor Hong Taiji in September 1643, to the emperor's own death on 5 February 1661, seven days into the eighteenth year of the Shunzhi reign period. These dates do not correspond perfectly with the Shunzhi era itself, which started on 8 February 1644—on New Year's Day of the lunisolar year following the emperor's accession—and ended on 17 February 1662, more than one solar year after the emperor's death. The posthumous events related to the Shunzhi Emperor's burial and posthumous cult are also included.
