:''For similar terms, please see [[Czar (disambiguation)]].''
A '''Kōtei''' (or Huángdì - 皇帝), also known as the Emperor of China or Son of Heaven, is the [[emperor]] or [[monarch]] of the country of [[China]]. The title was first adopted by Shi Huangdi, at the time the king of Qin, after conquering various kingdoms of China during the Warring States period, and was in use until the abdication of Puyi in 1912 shortly after the Xinhai Revolution and the formation of the Republic of China.
The word traces its roots back to the "Yellow Emperor", a legendary figure in Chinese history that was purported to be the progenitor of all Chinese as well as the implementor of Chinese culture. It also had its roots from Shi Huangdi, the one who formed the title in the first place translating to "First Emperor."
