:Maybe NN (or Sir Edward) confused the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Emperor Yellow Emperor] '' Huang-di'' (黃帝, literally "Yellow Emperor") with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang#Name_of_Shi_Huangdi Shi Huangdi] (始皇帝, literally "first sovereign emperor")? ''Di'' is the title for "Emperor", and would not normally be part of a name as such. In either case, this raises the interesting question of whether the yellow coloration was merely folkloric, or whether Celestials (and Imperials?) have gradually shifted/restricted their colors over time. --[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 10:15, 19 August 2010 (PDT) | :Maybe NN (or Sir Edward) confused the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Emperor Yellow Emperor] '' Huang-di'' (黃帝, literally "Yellow Emperor") with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang#Name_of_Shi_Huangdi Shi Huangdi] (始皇帝, literally "first sovereign emperor")?
