  1. emperors : jianging,gaozong and tang , thats who i knew


  2. different.

  3. Shih Huang Ti and Qin s**+ Huangdi are the same person. Huang Di literally means "Emperor" in chinese.

    Yellow Emperor is actually someone completely different from Qin s**+ Huangdi. Huangdi or the Yellow Emperor, is a legendary Chinese sovereign and cultural hero who is considered in Chinese mythology to be the ancestor of all Han Chinese. Huangdi reigned from 2697 BC to 2598 BC. He emerged as a chief deity of Taoism during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). The legend of his victory in the war against Emperor Chi You at the Battle of Zhuolu is seen as the establishment of the Han Chinese nationality.

  4. different people, "Huang di" means emperor

  5. Sadee_sue, hi, what ethnic group do you belong to? I am of Chinese ancestry basically (mostly). I came across your question and thought I would say a word or two. My background is in business management, law, and international relations with a minor in world civilizations and a focus on China and Asia at the undergraduate level.

    When people are working in a foreign culture, a culture other than American (Western), they are often at a loss, because of language differences and perception differences. Often times, too, American textbooks and encyclopedias do not record truths and many inaccuracies are found in such books, which contains information taught as gospel in our western school system. Doing so is a mistake!

    Also, with respect to the questions and language used, you need to get the terms right as different translations will render different answers for the exact same question.

    When doing research in China studies, you need to speak and write Chinese properly and realize that there are different romanizations; if you are reading a text in English. Pinyin is the standard, while the Wades-Giles (we use an American and Cantonese version) is used by the royal family, select historians, and government officials.

    One can not use one version of the Chinese language and another version together, so as to avoid confusion.

    So with respect to your question: "Are Huang Di, Shih Huang Ti, and Qin s**+ Huangdi the same person or different people?"

    The short answer is (1) Huang Di is China's patriarchal first Emperor and clanfather. And though people claim Chin Shih Huang Di to be China's first emperor there were other "Emperors" before him and (2) Shih Huang Ti and Qin s**+ Huangdi are the same person.

    The name Huangdi or Huang Di is the name of China's first patriarchal emperor. It is never written as Huang Ti, generally and properly speaking. Shih Huang Di is the name of the Chin or Qin Dynasty's first emperor. By use of the imperial term, he was claiming to be the replacement of reincarnate of China's original first national leader. China's Shih Huang Di was merely a dynasty leader and not the leader of all Han-Chinese people. Chin Shih Huang Di's name in pinyin would be Qin s**+ huangdi, it looks a bit different in pinyin from the Wades-Giles romanization system.

    So, therefore, to answer your question, from all of my years of learning and the reading of many textbooks in both English and Chinese, Huang Di is China's first patriarchal emperor. Shih Huang Ti (wrongly romanized) and Qin s**+ Huangdi are the same person and is the Chin or Qin Dynasty's first emperor.

    Question two: So is "the yellow emperor" another name for Huang Ti? Yes, it is.

    ALSO A FEW ERRORS FOUND WITHIN the Wikipedia are as follows:

    Huangdi is an actual person and the dates of his reign in Encyclopedia are in error. The historian Sima Qian errors, too, a good number of times in his recording of China's history, as well as people who try to interpret his writings. The term tianzi or Tien-tsu the Wikipedia describes it as, "a title created in the late Shang dynasty", but the Encyclopedia neglects to say that the term originated with the Zhou or Chou Dynasty. And on and on the errors continue.
