Princess Chángpíng (Traditional Chinese: 長平公主; Simplified Chinese: 长平公主) (c. 1629–September 26, 1646), birth name Zhū Huīchuò (Chinese: 朱徽娖), was the second daughter of China's Chongzhen Emperor and the only one who survived to adulthood.
Changping was the last princess of Ming Dynasty. Her father, Emperor Chongzhen chose Zhou Xian as her husband, but soon after the throne was taken in a rebellion. Chongzhen ordered his family to commit suicide. She resisted resulting in the Emperor severing her arm. In 1645, Changping asked the Shunzhi Emperor of Qing Dynasty for permission to be a nun. The emperor refused and married her with Zhou Xian. She died one year after the marriage.
