'''Prince Chun of the First Rank''', or simply '''Prince Chun''', was the title of a [[Royal and noble ranks of the Qing dynasty|princely peerage]] used in China during the [[Manchu people|Manchu]]-led [[Qing dynasty]] (1644–1912). As the Prince Chun peerage was not awarded [[Aisin Gioro#Iron-cap princes and their descendants|"iron-cap" status]], this meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank ''vis-à-vis'' that held by his predecessor. However, the title would generally not be downgraded to any lower than a [[Royal and noble ranks of the Qing dynasty#Male members|''feng'en fuguo gong'']] except under special circumstances.
The first bearer of the title was [[Lunghi (prince)|Lunghi]] (1660–1679), the [[Shunzhi Emperor]]'s seventh son. In 1674, Lunghi was granted the title "Prince Chun of the First Rank" by his third brother, the [[Kangxi Emperor]]. After Lunghi's death, the title was passed on to his infant son, Fu'erhulun (1679–1681), who died prematurely. The peerage thus ended with Fu'erhulun's death.
