	Qin Shi Huang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, by joining these two words for the first time, Qin Shi Huang created a title on a par with his feat of uniting the seemingly endless Chinese realm, in fact uniting the world (ancient Chinese, like ancient Romans, believed their empire encompassed the whole world, a concept referred to as all under heaven).
		This word huangdi was rendered in most Western languages as "emperor", a word which also has a long history dating back to ancient Rome, and which Europeans deemed superior to the word "king".
		It seems likely that huangdi was shortened to obtain a three-character name, which matches the three-character name of Chinese people (it is rare for Chinese people to have a name made of four or more characters).
