Pronunciation

Proper noun

秦始皇

  1. (historical) Qin Shi Huang (the first emperor of China)

Usage notes

  • Although the forms First Emperor, Shi Huangdi, and Shih Huang-ti remain more common in non-scholarly English, 秦始皇 is much more common in modern Chinese, with the non-truncated forms only appearing in scholarly or historical works.
  • The personal names 嬴政 (attested since the Three Kingdoms period) and the rare hypercorrections 趙政／赵政 (Zhào Zhèng) (attested since the middle Western Han) are anachronisms: Chinese of the period generally employed their 姓 (xìng, “ancestral names”), 氏 (shì, “clan names”), and 名 (míng, “given names”) separately and not in the compound form of modern Chinese.
  • In historical context, referred to as 秦王政 (Qínwáng Zhèng, “Zheng, King of Qin”) before his unification of China.
