Di on the other hand refers to someone with a divine status, a high god perhaps. Huang evokes a meaning of Heaven, a title that was reserved for the Three Sovereigns or the supreme deity of the Zhou dynasty. In order to distinguish him from other emperors, Emperor Qin is often referred to as Qin Shi Huangdi. Meaning of Shi Huangdiįor two millennia, the title huangdi became the title used by Chinese emperors. He was also the first ruler of ancient China to use the Imperial Seal of China (the Heirloom Seal of the Realm), which was made out of Heshibi (a sacred and famous jade). Some other epithets of the Emperor included “Your Highness”, “The Immortal” and “True Man”. He was also the only one in the kingdom who could use the first-person Chinese pronoun, lrəm or zhèn. The title Di was for the Five Emperors of the ancient times, including the Yellow Emperor, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, and Yan Emperor.Įmperor Qin is believed to have banned all his subjects from referring to him by his previous title, King Zheng. Huang was the title given to three sovereign rulers of prehistoric times (the Three August Ones – Suiren-shi, Youchao-shi, and Shennong-shi) that ancient Chinese revered as god-kings or demigods. Instead he combined the titles Huang and Di to form an all new title Huangdi (Emperor).

Blighted by a series of poor harvests and other natural disasters, some of the inhabitants of the State of Han were probably very relieved when King Zheng brought them under his rule in 229 BCE. The state of Hán was the first of the six warring state to succumb, in 230 BCE, to the might of Qin. In the 26 years that followed, he embarked on a massive campaign to bring all the Warring Sates (Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qi, and Yan) at the time under his rule. When Ying Zheng inherited the throne of Qin State in 247 BCE he was given the title King Zheng of Qin or King of Qin. It must be noted that Emperor Qin was born in a time when his state, the Qin State, was one of the Seven Warring States locked in a never-ending conflict for hegemony. Warring States in ancient China began around 475 BCE and ended in 221 BCE when King of the Qin successfully brought all the seven states together, forming the first Imperial State of China
