[edit] Reason for the NPOV tag

The reason I put in the NPOV tag is that it subscribes to the sinification POV (i.e. sometimes the emperor started off as a barbarian but ended up adopting the great Chinese culture). While this is a historically valid narrative, it is not the only one, and a lot of recent historical scholarship in the Yuan and Qing dynasty have pointed out how these rulers simulatenously combined both Chinese theories of rulership with Central Asia ones.

[edit] Emperor and Son of Heaven

Just keep in mind , Emperor(皇帝) and Son of Heaven(天子) is two different thing. As for emperor , he is ruler of certain nation. For example, Emperor Guo of Han was the ruler of the nation which was named HAN(ruling 15 counties at early Han dynasty), Emperor is nothing to do with other kings. However, for the son of heaven , he is the ruler of the world , all kings are under his rule. 125.232.127.196 08:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I would argue that the titles are synonymous and related. But I did address the concern in the intro just now. Colipon+(T) 03:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
