	Chinese sovereign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All sovereigns are denoted by a string of Chinese characters.
		Then come the characters of how the sovereign is commonly called, in most of the times the posthumous names or the temple names.
		If sovereigns since Tang were referenced using posthumous names, they were the last ones of their sovereignties or their reigns were short and unpopular.

	THE DETERMINATION OF THE PRINCIPLE ERAS IN THE SHOO
		In the 15th of the Books of Chow, the name of three of the sovereigns are given, and the duration of their reigns, to show how Heaven is likely to crown a good king with length of sway: T'ae-mow, who reigned 75 years; Woo-ting, who reigned 59; and Tsoo-kea who reigned 33.
		From the review which I have thus taken of the different periods of Chinese history, documents purporting to belong to which are preserved in the Shoo, it will be seen that the year B.C. 775 is the earliest date which can be said to be determined with certainty.
		The accession of Yu, the first sovereign of the nation, was probably at some time in the nineteenth century before Christ; and previous to him there were the chiefs Shun and Yaou.

		The Chinese tradition of adopting the reign of an Emperor as the beginning of an era is not unique among human societies.

		The Chinese Government took fright at Gordon's dramatic move--there was no knowing what he might do next--(I wonder if in the back of their minds they had a sneaking fear he might join the rebels like Burgevine?)--and consequently they thought it wisdom to send the I.G. to make peace--since peace was so badly needed.
		A misunderstanding of Chinese despatches--which are always open to several translations--had given Wade a wrong impression of the force of their contents, and the I.G. accordingly begged permission to explain the point at issue as he saw it.
		One side, the Chinese, wanted the Red River for the dividing-line, would hear of nothing else, declared loudly that this was the natural division; the other, France, was equally obstinate for the older frontier between the State of Tonkin and China proper, because this meant far more land for her.

	Ancient China Simplified - Chapter XX - Law (by Edward Harper Parker)
		A generous table accompanies the dispensing of rewards, a frugal table and no music accompanies the allotment of punishments; hence the imperial feasts and fasts.
		Thus from the very beginning the legislative, judicial, and executive functions have never been clearly separated in the Chinese system of thought; new words have had to be coined within the last two years in order to express this distinction for purposes of law reform.
		In a minor degree the same question of definition and publication has also caused differences of opinion between English lawyers, so far as the so-called “judge-made law” is concerned; it is still considered to be better practice to have it declared as circumstances arise, than to have it set forth beforehand in a code.

		Mencius says that between Thang, the founder of the dynasty, and Wû-ting, the twentieth sovereign (in the common scheme), 'there had been six or seven worthy and sage rulers[1],' leading to the conclusion that the number of twenty-eight sovereigns in all is not beyond the truth.

		He thus turns the tables upon the loud-boasting and conceited infidel, and shows him that it is he, not the Christian, who must humble himself before reason, and beg pardon for the outrages he offers her.
		Religion was the highest law, and authoritative, and no individual or nation had a right to dispute its dominion; morals were binding, were the law imposed by religion; politics were referred to the sovereign authority, to the majesty of the prince, or the state.
		They who flatter themselves that the sovereign pontiff of Christendom, is about to place himself at the head of the liberals, as their leader in the war against legitimacy, will find their shouts have been premature, and their hopes fallacious.

		The reigning sovereign is known by the title of Chang [7], but the sovereignty was little more than nominal.
		During the vigorous youth of the dynasty, the sovereign or lord paramount exercised an effective control over the various chiefs, but with the lapse of time there came weakness and decay.
		In this way the two parties separated, they of Ch'i filled with shame at being foiled and disgraced by 'the man of ceremonies;' and the result was that the lands of Lu which had been appropriated by Ch'i were restored [1].

	N. Sivin--Text and Experience
		These claims of elevated ethical status suggest a reply to the second question: the basic Chinese distinction was between the relatively few literate, well-born physicians who left the enormous written record, and the plebeian practitioners of every stripe, generally illiterate for most of Chinese history, who cared for the overwhelming majority of the population.
		That solidarity survived the larger metamorphoses of the Chinese elite away from an aristocracy of birth that turned it in the eleventh century AD into an increasingly mobile class based on literacy, wealth, and office-holding.
		This is not to say that the scholarly lineages I have described agreed with each other on questions of doctrine and practice, but that they stood together against the majority, the illiterate and marginally literate practitioners, empirics, religious healers, and others, especially those who dared appropriate the dignity of the physician.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: General Chronology
		In determining dates by the regnal years of other sovereigns there are of course various points to which attention must be paid.
		Confining ourselves to English history, the earlier kings after the Norman Conquest dated their reigns only from their coronation, or some other public exhibition of sovereignty, so that there was sometimes an interval of days or even weeks between the close of one reign and the commencement of the next.
		The Chinese Era dates probably from 2700 B.C., and time is computed by cycles of sixty lunar years, each shorter by eleven days than ordinary solar years.
