2 align=center <small>''1 This clan name appears in the Records Of The Grand Historian <br>written by Sima Qian Apparently, the First Emperor being born<br>in the State Of Zhao where his father was a hostage, he later<br>adopted Zhao as his clan name (in ancient China clan names<br>often changed from generation to generation), but this is<br>not completely certain''
|
| |
2 align=center <small>''2 Based on ancient Chinese naming patterns, we can infer that<br>Qin was the clan name of the royal house of the State Of Qin ,<br>derived from the name of the state Other branches of the Ying <br>ancestral family, Enfeoff ed in other states, had other clan<br>names Qin was thus possibly also the clan name of<br>the First Emperor''

2 align=center <small>''3 The royal house of Qin did not carry the practice of temple<br>names, which were not used anymore since the establishment<br>of the Zhou Dynasty , so the First Emperor does not have a<br>temple name ''per se'' However, his official name "First Emperor"<br>can somehow be assimilated to a temple name, being the<br>name under which the emperor would have been honored<br>in the temple of the ancestors of the dynasty''
