Yunli
17th son of Kangxi Emperor, Qing Dynasty prince
Yunli (24 March 1697 – 21 March 1738), born Yinli, formally known as Prince Guo, was a Manchu prince of the Qing dynasty.
Life
Yinli was born in the Aisin Gioro clan as the 17th son of the Kangxi Emperor. His mother was Consort Qin (勤妃), a Han Chinese with the family name Chen.
Consort Qin was also known as Consort Chunyuqin (純裕勤太妃). The Chen family were originally Han baoyi of the Imperial Household Department's Bordered Yellow banner. It was Qing court protocol to put any non-Manchu consort and her close male relatives like brothers and cousins into a Manchu banner if they were a Han bannermen. Chen and her brothers and cousins were put into the Manchu Yellow Bordered Banner effectively changing their ethnicity from Han to Manchu in the eyes of the Qing court. Their surname was Manchurized from Chen to Chenjia (陳佳). Gao Bin (高斌) who was from another Han family that was put into the same Manchu banner married another woman from the Chen clan.
Yinli excelled in academics since childhood.
