[edit] Untitled
Can the tones be indicated somehow?
[edit] Genealogy
Would it not be appropriate to describe his specific genealogy? Was his father a younger son of the Chenghua Emperor, or was his connection more distant? john k (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- According to "The Ritual Formation of Confucian Orthodoxy and the Descendants of the Sage"[1], p569, the Jiajing emperor "insisted on bestowing the title of emperor on his natal father and grandfather (who never actually served as rulers)", so it must be a more remote connection. I'll have a dig and see what I can find out. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- His father, Chu Yu-yüan (1476-1519), the Prince of Hsing, was the fourth son of the Ch'eng-hua emperor (r. 1465-1487) and the eldest son of three sons born to the emperor's concubine, Lady Shao. That's taken from The Cambridge History of China (1988), edited by Mote and Twitchett, Volume 7 Part 1, Chapter 7 (which chapter is written by James Geiss) Page 440
