Taishang Huang



Taishang Huang () was a Chinese title, sometimes translated in English as Retired Emperor, Grand Emperor or Emperor Emeritus used throughout East Asia, occasionally given to former emperors who had (at least in name) abdicated voluntarily to their sons. The title originated, however, from Liu Bang (Emperor Gao of Han)'s father Liu Zhijia (劉執嘉), who was honored as such after Liu Bang declared himself emperor in 202, even though Liu Zhijia was never emperor himself.
