  Puyi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puyi (Chinese:溥儀; Pronounced P'oo-y'ee) (February 7, 1906 - October 17, 1967) of the Manchu Aisin-Gioro ruling family was the Xuantong Emperor (宣統皇帝) of China between 1908 and 1924 (ruling emperor between 1908 and 1912, and non-ruling emperor between 1912 and 1924), the tenth and last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to rule over China.
Puyi's paternal grandfather was the 1st Prince Chun (1840-1891) who was himself a son of the Daoguang Emperor and a younger half-brother of Xianfeng Emperor, but not the next in line after Xianfeng (the 1st Prince Chun had older half-brothers that were closer in age to Xianfeng).
Tongzhi died without a son, and was succeeded by Guangxu Emperor (r.1875-1908), the son of the 1st Prince Chun and his wife, who was the younger sister of Empress Dowager Cixi.

China's income plummetted during the wars as vast areas of farmland were destroyed, millions of lives lost, and countless armies raised and equipped to fight the rebels.
China's turbulent history since the overthrow of the Qing may be understood at least in part as an attempt to understand and recover significant aspects of historic Chinese culture and integrate them with influential new ideas that have emerged within the last century.
During the Qianlong Emperor's reign, for example, members of his family were distinguished by garments with a large circular emblem on the back, whereas a Han could only hope to wear clothing with a square emblem; this meant effectively that any guard in the court could immediately distinguish family members from the back view alone.

The Manchu emperors also supported Chinese literary and historical projects of enormous scope; the survival of much of China's ancient literature is attributed to these projects.
China, for instance, was not a backward country unable to secure the prerequisite stability and security for western-style commerce, but a highly advanced empire unwilling to admit western (often drug-pushing) commerce, which may explain the West's contentment with informal 'Spheres of Influences'.

In English he is also more simply known as Puyi, which is in accordance with the Manchu tradition of never using an individual's clan name and given name together, but is in complete contravention with the traditional Chinese and Manchu custom whereby the private given name of an emperor was considered taboo and ineffable.
However, the name Henry was merely used in communcation with Westerners between around 1920 and 1932, and is never used in China.
On November 4, 1924, Feng Yuxiang had the government revise the Articles of Favorable Treatment : the revised articles stated that Puyi was to be stripped of his imperial title and henceforth made a regular citizen of the Republic of China.
