Below is a table of Chinese monarchs. From the Shang Dynasty to the Qin , rulers usually held the title King (王 ''wáng''). With the division of China into separate Warring States , this title had become so common that the unifier of China, the first Qin emperor Qin Shi Huang created a new title for himself, that of Emperor (皇帝 ''huángdì''). This title of Emperor continued to be used for the remainder of China's imperial history, right down to the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 . Chinese monarchs were known by many different names, and how they should be identified is often confusing. Sometimes the same emperor is commonly known by two or three separate names, or the same name is used by emperors of different dynasties. The tables below do not necessarily include all of an emperor's names - for example, posthumous names could run to more than twenty characters and were rarely used in historical writing - but where possible the most commonly used name or naming convention has been indicated. These tables may not necessarily represent the most recently updated information on Chinese monarchs; please check the page for the relevant dynasty for possible additional information.
