Bronze Inscription SVGs

Has anyone created or posted or does anyone know any SVG(s) of 天子 written in bronze inscriptions? That/those would be very good illustration(s) for this article. Erminwin (talk) 15:35, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

secular Huángdì

I’m a little confused here. The article calls the title adopted from Qin dynasty onwards the "secular imperial title of the Son of Heaven" which I surmise is meant in opposition to "the sacred monarchical title" tianzi. But huángdì literally stands for something like "Magnificent Divine Lord" or as some scholars prefer a "Thearch". Shi made the imperial title specifically in allusion to Chinese mythological rulers who were seen as deities and/or deified ancestors. In this sense, I don't see how huángdì is a title less sacred/more secular than that of tianzi (or, say, Gaozong's tianhuáng the "Heavenly Majesty"). Juraj103 (talk) 22:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
