Your favourite Chinese Emperor

[singveld]

Qin Shi Huang - because without him, there will be no china.

china will just be full of different state with different languages just like Europe.

No Clean Sweep

Are all the ancestors of the ppl with surname wu affected by this?

Can't do that lah. Perhaps this surname has many sources ? The people who adopted this word as their surnames since the demise of Wu kingdom ?

Go back to your history class you silly orange jersey monkey. Genghis Khan had never ruled the whole of China. The first Mongolian emperor of China was Kublai Khan, his grandson.

Yang GuiFei was a fatty leh..... Kaoz....

Good for you, hah?

 

[eatshitndie]

has to be puyi for being gay, childless, and ending the imperial bloodline of the manchus.

 

[Fook Seng]

How come no one mentioned Wu Ze Tian, the female Emperor? Capable and beautiful.

 

[eatshitndie]

next is kublai khan for changing the genetic landscape of china. his mongol horde ravaged, ransacked and raped their way into all of china, contributing and strengthening the gene pool. otherwise, pre-mongol china had too many whimpy dickless genes.

And that stupid fool, Kublai Khan sent an armada of his own to be wiped by his foolishness and impatience. Or he kana sabo by ship builders ?

Like I said Qianlong got this golden era on a golden platter, Xuantong (I'd be courteous enough to address him by title not by name) got his rotten era on a rotten platter. There wasn't much he could do to save it.

he hadn't had a clue about the hazards of seaborne typhoons as he spent all his life on land and in the steppes. if he was a genius, he could have created a national hurricane or typhoon tracking center.

how to do that without satellite. due to lack of proper ships, they use river boats and these just sank with the troops.

Think about that - her husband died when she was quite young. She supported a child emperor until she found it better for her to rule herself. Her strength - open to suggestions and even criticism. Her weakness - had a large following of bootlickers.

Qianlong was one of the few who abdicated his throne to his son to show respect to his grandfather, Kangxi. Otherwise his reign would have been the longest in Chinese history. His later years, though, were not as outstanding as the earlier ones. In fact Kangxi, Yongcheng and Qianlong were all outstanding. They often made trips outside the palace, posed as a commoner to see for themselves what the real life of the people was, without special enhancement by grassroots as what we have here.

The tradition of emperors taking the trouble to tour the country in plainclothes ended with Jiaqing. After Jiaqing, the emperors lost the plot and were always kept in palace and court like the frog in the well.

Female emperor you might want to add the dowager Qixi, the last dynasty of chinese history.

its funny how Qing dynasty ended up so weak towards the end. At its peak, in Kangxi era navy power rivals those of the European power (got this from documentary). Even the ang mos have to give him a lot of faces. But when it comes to puyi, the ang mo just gave him their middle fingers.
