Fulata (Manchu: ᡶᡠᠯᠠᡨᠠ; Chinese: 傅拉塔; died 1694) was Governor-General of Nanjing (1688–94).[1] A nephew of Mingju (President of the Ministry of Punishments; Director of the Imperial Household; President of the censorate),[2] he was an imperial clansman, who rose rapidly by service in Beijing and the provinces to be Viceroy of Liangjiang in 1688, a post he filled until his death. The Kangxi Emperor described him as the only fit successor to Yu Chenglong (于成龍): "a man of peace without weakness, not afraid of responsibility, and devoted to the people." Canonised, he was included in the Temple of Worthies.[3]
