WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHINESE EMPEROR?

I have found out that there are many Chinese nationals or overseas Chinese in the forum.  Goody!  I will ask them to take part in this poll. 

I know that the ten choices limits the emperors that I am able to list.  If you chose other, please share your choice with the forum.

Thank you!

Hard question. Shi Huangdi is so fascinating, but Kangxi was a better civil administrator. ... So that's the basis of my vote.

I agree.  Shi Hunagdi was often harsh on his subjects while Kangxi opted for a more benevolent reign.

Hong Wu-- greatest emperor of Ming dynasty. Overthrown Yuan and bring China back into peace and propesrity eventhough some may say he is clueless.

One clever thing he did that many emperor failed included Qing long, Yong le is that eliminate the power of court eunuchs, empress which causes the downfall of previous dynasty. He also create the famous code of laws named "Ta-Ming l" for China. Census was also being taken during his era.

Are non-Chinese rulers of China available? If so, my vote goes for Kubilai Khan!

Zhu Di is now my favorite, but often times I switch back to Tang Taizong or Shi Huangdi.

Khubilai Khan. He was the first foreign ruler of all china and at the same grand khan of mongols and splendid one in all things.  In comparison with him Qin Shi Huang Di was pitiful.

You're being very offensive here. It's like saying Queen Victoria was the greatest ruler of India, because she's the first foreign Empress of India and head of the great British Empire, so in comparison with the great Queen, Ashoka was so pitful.

I didn't vote for Khubilai, just because he was a foreigner. I said he was splendid in all things.

Yes, he was! He was from the Manchu barbarians, but ruled the whole chinese territory and even made the big mongolia or, at least, half of it to pay tribute to him. He also saved the Chinese culture and language and ordered to treat the Chinese as equal ashe traeted his Manchu people!

Qin Shi Huang was from the west, which was called western barbarians, though his ancestors, 600 years before him, were from the Eastern barbarians.

He was sick of weak Zhou rule and the following several hundred years of split history and fights. So, he began to use force and power, like Jiang Jieshi did in Inner Mongolia and Yun Nan and Gui Zhou. 

By the way, was he really a Chinese????

Poirot is right. Khubilai is a Mongol.

I am proud of him, don't say he is a Chinese emperor. He was the emperor of Green Mongol Empire and at the same time, he was also the ruler of the Chinese! But, he was not a Chinese!
