Tips

history
After Ming general 吴三桂 opened Shanhai Pass (山海关) in 1644, Dorgon led the Qing army south, took Beijing from the peasant rebel Li Zicheng, and installed his six-year-old nephew as the 顺治 Shunzhi Emperor. He held the title 皇父摄政王 ('Imperial Father Regent'). Posthumously stripped of his titles after his death, then rehabilitated by the 乾隆 Qianlong Emperor.
culture
A stock figure in Qing palace drama (清宫剧), often paired romantically with 孝庄皇太后 (Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang) in fiction, though historians dispute any actual relationship.
