| Family trees of Chinese monarchs |
The following is theYuan dynasty family tree.Genghis Khan founded theMongol Empire in 1206. The empire became split beginning with the succession war of his grandsonsKublai Khan andAriq Boke. Kublai Khan, after defeating his younger brotherAriq Boke, founded theYuan dynasty of China in 1271. The dynasty was overthrown by theMing dynasty during the reign ofToghun Temür in 1368, but it survived in the Mongolian Plateau, known as theNorthern Yuan; years of reign over the Northern Yuan (up to 1388) are given in brackets.
Long beforeKublai Khan announced the dynastic name "Great Yuan" in 1271,Khagans (Great Khans) of the Mongol State (Yeke Mongγol Ulus) already started to use the Chinese title ofEmperor (Chinese:皇帝;pinyin:Huángdì) practically in theChinese language since Spring 1206 in the First Year of the reign ofGenghis Khan (as成吉思皇帝; 'Genghis Emperor'[1]). However, The Mongol Khagans-Emperors andregents beforeKublai Khan were only declared Yuan emperors after the creation of Yuan dynasty in 1271.

The following is a simplifiedfamily tree for theMing dynasty, which ruled China between 1368 and 1644.
Those who became emperor are listed in bold, with their years of reign. In China, Ming emperors are best known by theirtemple names, which are given second below, after the personal name. (TheJianwen Emperor was not awarded a temple name: his posthumous name, Huidi (惠帝), is used instead.) The names given in bold areera names, the form by which Ming emperors are most commonly known in English, but which technically refer to the timespan of an emperor's reign rather than to the emperor himself. (Xingzong and Ruizong are temple names: they never actually ruled, but Xingzong was posthumously granted an emperor's title and Ruizong was raised posthumously to the status of emperor by his son, theJiajing Emperor, in theGreat Rites Controversy.) The imperial family's original family name wasZhu (朱), but theHongwu Emperor adopted the dynastic name Ming (明) (as were all but one imperial Chinese dynasties), meaning "brilliant". The numbers here indicate the seniority in birth of an emperor's sons as the Ming Dynasty was the only Chinese dynasty to have the eldest surviving son succeed the throne in continuous fashion (though not for theYongle, from whom all subsequent Ming emperors descend andJingtai Emperors – both of whom usurped the throne; while the Jiajing –see above, and Chongzhen Emperors succeeded sonless brother), not unlike the Salic Law practised in some contemporary European monarchies (except that the eldest son by a non-principal consort was duly considered). After the fall of the dynasty in 1644 and theChongzhen Emperor's suicide, a series of Ming princes based in the south of China claimed the imperial title, their court being known as theSouthern Ming. These claimants are given with their era names, and the timespans of their purported reigns in brackets. Their purported periods of rule are given in brackets. In 1662,Koxinga regained control ofTaiwan from the Dutch colonial regime, and established a state for those who wished restore the Ming dynasty to power. This state lasted until 1683, when it submitted to the Qing dynasty.

The following is a simplifiedfamily tree for theQing dynasty, which was established in 1636, ruled China proper from 1644 to 1912.
Those who became emperor of China are listed in bold, with their years of reign.Nurhaci wasKhan ofLater Jin from 1616 to 1626.Hong Taiji wasKhan ofLater Jin from 1626 to 1636, andEmperor of the Qing dynasty from 1636 to 1643. During these periods, the two monarchs only dominatedManchuria, but were not emperors of China as a whole; their years of reign over the dynasty are therefore given in brackets. The names given for emperors areera names, the form by which Qing emperors were most commonly known (with the exception ofPuyi, who ruled as the Xuantong Emperor, but was generally known by his given name after his deposition). Puyi abdicated as head of state on February 12, 1912, but was permitted to retain his imperial titles until 1924. The imperial family's original Manchu clan name wasAisin Gioro (lit. "golden clan"). The dynasty was originally titled the Later Jin, in reference to its origins in theJurchen-ledJin dynasty (1115–1234), by Nurhaci in 1616, but in 1636 Hong Taiji opted to replace this title with the Chinese dynastic title Qing (清), meaning "clear" or "pure".
