List of Posthumous Names

List of Posthumous Names

In China, posthumous names 諡 were conferred upon Emperors, Empresses, and notable officials by the imperial court up until the fall of Qing Dynasty in 1911. The following list is limited to officials. For posthumous names of Emperors, see List of Chinese monarchs. The name is most often used in the combination surname+posthumous name+"gong 公," as appears in the title of his collected works or complete work.

In accord with the dichotomy of the bureaucratic system into Wen (civil) and Wu (martial), many notable posthumous names contain one of these two characters. During Ming and Qing dynasties, when posthumous names of officials were fixed at two characters, Wenzheng 文正 was considered the most prestigious, and was rarely given.
