[Tazzy1972]

[rabadi]

Di: Emperor

So, the character di in Qin Shi Huangdi is the same with character di in Southern Emperor (1D's title)?

The month of August was named in honour of the first Roman Emperor Octavian, who held as title "Imperator Augustus" (August Emperor). August here means "majestic" or "venerable".

I believe August is named for Augustus Ceasar while July is name for Julius Ceasar.

I believe August is named for Augustus Ceasar while July is name for Julius Ceasar.

Augustus Ceasar = Octavian or Octavianus. Octavian was his real name, while Augustus Ceasar was the name he received after becoming Emperor of Rome.

Like Candide said, misunderstanding due to Cantonese pronunciation.

The title for Kinglet/Prince/Your Highness is Wangye.

The title for Emperor/Imperial Majesty is Huangshang, but in Yideng's case, he already abdicated the throne, so he is referred to as Huangye. (Dennis Chen was right)

Both Wangye and Huangye are pronounced Wong yeh in Cantonese, but the first characters are not the same and have different meanings (Prince/Kinglet versus Emperor).

Huang shang is only used yo refer to the emperor of your own country. Yideng was called huang ye when he still was emperor, not after he abdicated.
