{{See also|Chinese sovereign}}
When combining an emperor's temple name and posthumous name, the temple name is placed first. For example, the [[Shunzhi Emperor]], whose full posthumous title would be "Shizu, Emperor Zhang" ({{Lang-zh|t=|labels=no|c=世祖章皇帝}}), combines his temple name and the last three characters of his posthumous reputation, which is the form most commonly seen in formal documents. Some monarchs' and royal members' posthumous names were extended, such as [[Hongwu Emperor]], [[Nurhaci]], [[Crown Prince Hyomyeong]], [[Sunjo of Joseon]], and [[Empress Dowager Cixi]].

Some monarchs did not follow these guidelines; for example, monarchs of [[Ju (state)|Ju]], [[Chu (state)|Chu]], and [[Qi (Henan)|Qi]] used place names, while some monarchs of [[Yue (state)|Yue]] had Chinese transliterated posthumous words, and some monarchs of [[Goguryeo]], [[Silla]], and [[Baekje]] had differently styled posthumous names. Some early Japanese monarchs also had {{Nihongo|Japanese-style posthumous names|和風諡号}}.
