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, the 13th emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was used for a total of six years. During the Longqing period, the Ming dynasty implemented a series of new policies aimed at reviving the country's prestige, 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 the Longqing era name. The following year, the era name was changed to Wanli.[1][2]
