Family name

[edit]

Hardouin, again, I heavily disagree on the removal of the family name. The family name was not used the same way that we do now -- but if you do that, you might as well remove "Xiang" from "Xiang Yu" and "Liu" from "Liu Bang." Please try to come up with some convincing arguments otherwise.

Also, "Elizabeth I" would be an anachronism by your standard, since she would never have been referred to by anything other than Queen Elizabeth or Elizabeth R. during her reign (and as Lady Elizabeth or Princess Elizabeth before her reign). In fact, it wouldn't be until the 20th century that she would ever be referred to as Elizabeth I, and yet we use Elizabeth I as a "modern convention." I don't see how using the Qin royal family's family name is any different. Are you proposing that the article Elizabeth I be moved to Elizabeth, R. or Elizabeth Tudor? --Nlu 17:21, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient Chinese people only refered by their given name.--刻意(Kèyì) 17:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
