Xianqing (顯慶) was the second era name of Gaozong (高宗) of the Tang (唐) in China. It was adopted the following year to commemorate the investiture of Empress Wu Zetian (則天皇后 武氏) as empress in November 655. It was used for 5 years and 2 months, from 656 to February 661. Later, when Emperor Zhongzong of Tang ascended the throne, the era was sometimes called Mingqing (明慶) or Guangqing (光慶) in order to avoid the personal name of Zhongzong, Li Xian (李顯).
