Xianqin Wang was the official title of Emperor Yongzheng's brother, and the twenty-fourth and youngest son of Emperor Kangxi, whose given name was Yun'mi (later changed to Yin'mi). He was the Commander-in-Chief of the White Inlaid Banner clan in the Qing imperial army. Yun'mi was bestowed with the title, Xianqin Wang, in the 11th year of the Yongzheng reign (1733), when at the same time his nephew Prince Hongli (who later ascended the throne as Emperor Qianlong) was given the title Baoqin Wang. One of Prince Yun'mi most notable achievement was his involvement in overseeing the re-carving of the Chunhuage tie, on the command of the Qianlong emperor in 1769. The calligraphic text known as the Chunhuage tie was first carved onto stone in 992 AD, and was in the imperial collection of the Song emperor, Huizong. Prince Yun'mi died in the 38th year of the Qianlong era (1773).

Compare with a very similar soapstone seal of the same subject-matter bearing the six-character mark, Jiaqing Yubi Zibao, 'Treasured Imperial Calligraphy by Jiaqing', illustrated in Ming Qing Dihou Baoxi, 'Emperors and Empresses' Precious Seals of the Ming and Qing Dynasties', Forbidden City Press, 1996, p. 239 (illustrated fig. 1). A set of three seals that once belonged to Prince Hongli was sold in these Rooms, 3 November 1998, lot 1077; these tianhuang seals bear the seal chops of Baoqinwang Bao, Changchu Jushi, Sui An Shi. As mentioned above, the official title of Baoqinwang was given by Prince Hongli's father which co-incided with Prince Yun'mi own bestowment of the Xianqin Wang title. The sobriquet, Changchu Jushi, 'Deweller in Everlasting Spring', was a name chosen by Prince Hongli; whilst Sui An Shi was the name of his study. Also compare the related set of twelve personal seals of Prince Yun'mi's father, the Emperor Kangxi, sold in these Rooms, 7 July 2003 (Catalogue dated 28 April 2003), lot 535.
