චීන පාලකයන් ලැයිස්තුව

This list of includes rulers of China with various titles prior to the establishment of the in 1912. From the until the , rulers usually held the title "king" (චීන: 王; පින්යින්: wáng). With the separation of China into different , this title had become so common that the unifier of China, the first Qin Emperor created a new title for himself, that of "emperor" (පින්යින්: huángdì).

Chinese sovereigns were known by many different names, and how they should be identified is often confusing. Sometimes the same emperor is commonly known by two or three separate names, or the same name is used by emperors of different . The tables below do not necessarily include all of an emperor's names – for example, could run to more than twenty characters and were rarely used in historical writing – but, where possible, the most commonly used name or has been indicated. Scholars also often use common terms to refer to some monarchs with special circumstances — "Modi" (末帝; "last emperor"), "Mozhu" (末主; "last lord"), "Houzhu" (後主; "last lord"), "Shaodi" (少帝; "young emperor"), "Shaozhu" (少主; "young lord"), "Feidi" (廢帝; "deposed emperor"), etc.; these terms are not , posthumous names or .

In some cases, the regnal or is changed in the same year as the death of the previous sovereign; in other cases, the name change occurs in the subsequent year. Thus, the date given for the beginning of a reign may actually refer to the first full year of the sovereign's reign.

These tables may not necessarily represent the most recently updated information on Chinese monarchs; please check the page for the relevant dynasty for possible additional information.

Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors (三皇五帝) (2852–2070 BCE)

ප්‍රධාන ලිපිය:

Although it is ingrained in Chinese mythology that the earliest mythological rulers of China included three huáng (皇, generally translated "sovereign" or "august one") and five dì (帝, generally translated "emperor"), both terms denoting status, their identities have differed between different sources, with some individuals, such as the , being regarded as either sovereign or emperor, depending on the source. The two characters would later be taken together by to form the new title huángdì (皇帝, emperor), thus claiming legendary status for himself.

Note: These figures are considered to be legendary.
