First Class Attendant Ping (19th century – 1856)[1],personal name unknown, was a member of the Irgen Gioro clan from the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner. She was the eldest daughter of Yan Chang, a former sacrificial wine official at the Imperial Academy, and the granddaughter of Ying Chun, a court official. She was also the great-granddaughter of Cheng Ge, a Minister of War.[2]
She was a concubine of the Emperor Xianfeng.[3]
First Class Attendant Ping's family descended from military officials. Her ancestor Hechen played a significant role in Qing conquests but his lineage did not inherit noble titles. However, in the Jiaqing era, her family regained prominence through success in the imperial examinations. Her father, Yan Chang, earned the Jinshi title (a high-ranking scholar) in 1847, while other family members also distinguished themselves academically and in official positions.[2]
