  Yongzheng Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yongzheng Emperor (born Yinzhen 胤禛) (December 13, 1678 - October 8, 1735) was the fourth emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the third Qing emperor to rule over China, from 1722 to 1735.
Yinti, the 14th Prince and his brother born to the same mother, was placed under house arrest at the Imperial Tombs, under the pretext of watching over their parents' tombs.
Like his father, Yongzheng used military force to preserve the dynasty's position in Outer Mongolia, and when Tibet was torn by civil war during 1717-28, he intervened militarily, leaving a Qing resident backed up by a military garrison to pursue the dynasty's interests.

The Yongzheng emperor is known to have copied Chinese styles of calligraphy, studied Chinese literature extensively, collected art works and compiled catalogues of literary collections.
But while Kangxi was painted in the traditional formal style sitting in official attire with a stern face looking straight forward at the observer, Yongzheng and Qianlong are presented in a variety of informal or, in the case of Yongzheng, even foreign costumes.
We see Yongzheng as a Persian warrior, a Turkish prince, a Daoist magician, a fisherman, a Tibetan monk, a Mongol nobleman, and as a Chinese scholar observing nature or occupied with playing music or writing calligraphy in a natural setting.

 Book review by JD
Yongzheng was at least as capable as his father, and much more industrious.
In the first place, his people were not ethnic Chinese, and the resentment that the Chinese people felt towards their alien rulers was a key factor in the life of the nation down to the very end of the dynasty in 1911.
It begins in the fall of 1728, half way through Yongzheng’s reign, when a powerful general in charge of two large provinces was suddenly presented with a letter criticizing him for serving under the Manchus, and urging him to rebel.

In the planning of his official ware they settled for looking at the Yongzheng period as a model for the decoration after first having considered the Song dynasty.
This is the most important reason for the revival of Famille rose enamel painting on porcelain at this time and a reason why the Yongzheng mark also speaks for the 1920's.
