Editing Chinese sovereign (section)

===Historiographical denomination===
Historians sometimes refer to certain Chinese rulers using generic terms, mostly due to their lack of regnal name, temple name or posthumous name. These terms describe the circumstances of the monarchs and are not officially accorded by the regimes themselves. The monarchical rank held by the rulers is affixed to the back of these adjectives to form the full historiographical denominations. For example, "{{transliteration|zh|Fèidì}}" ({{lang|zh-Hant|廢帝}}) is formed from the amalgamation of "{{transliteration|zh|fèi}}" ({{lang|zh-Hant|廢}}; "deposed") and the abbreviated form of "{{transliteration|zh|huángdì}}" ({{lang|zh-Hant|皇帝}}; "emperor"), thus is used to refer to monarchs who were overthrown.
