message: What is the Manchu romanisation of Hong Taiji (like Nurhaci)? — Instantnood 01:49, Jan 31 2005 (UTC)
i've never heard of him referred to as hong taiji before reading this article. i'd always thought he was huang taiji. is hong taiji the manchu pronunciation? if so is there a source for this opinion?--Sumple 04:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it "Hong Taiji" or "Hung Taiji" in Manchu romanisation? I have found the latter form in Volume 9 of the Cambridge History of China and also in this web page with a course curriculum from the University of Berkeley, and in this review of a book on the Manchus. Unless somebody can point more authoritative references that use "Hong Taiji" (or explain the Manchu system of romanisation being used and the rationale for that), I would suggest moving the article to "Hung Taiji", and use that form of the name consistently throughout the text. By the way, the Cambridge History of China book also cites Giovanni Stary's article and accepts his research, lending even more credibility to the idea that Abahai is, indeed, a wrong name. --AngelRiesgo 11:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have decided to be bold, and have moved the title to "Hung Taiji", since this seems to be the usual Manchu romanisation in the specialised literature of recent years. I have also modified the text of the article to be consistent so that only the "Hung" form is used. Besides the sources I cited above, I have also checked book The Manchus by Pamela Crossley. In the glossary at the end of the book, both "Hong Taiji" and "Huang Taiji" are regarded as pinyin renderings of the various Chinese names, whereas "Hung Taiji" is consistently used as the Manchu name. --AngelRiesgo 09:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He's best known as emperor of China (not as emperor of the Manchu) (granted, at the same time, Chongzhen also claimed to be emperor), and by his Chinese name, Huang Taiji, and hence the article name should be "Huang Taiji". Far more has been written about him in the Chinese language than in the Manchu language. I've clarified the intro to note that "Hong Taiji" and "Hung Taiji" are Manchu-based transliterations. —Lowellian (reply) 03:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His son was the 1st Qing Emperor of China as the Shunzhi Emperor. ""In the midst of much upheaval, the Manchus seized control of Beijing in June 1644, and in October of the same year the Shunzhi emperor's uncle, the chief regent Prince, proclaimed the Qing dynasty to be the legitimate successor to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although the Shunzhi emperor was not the founder of the Qing dynasty, he was the first Qing emperor of China."" Hung Taiji died in 1643 prior to the fall of the Ming Dynasty's control of Beijing. He was the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Great Khan of the Mongols but he was not the Emperor of China at the time.Abstrakt  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 01:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: These Chinese articles are almost uniformly unreadable. There are no sections. There is no introduction. There are many different names in different scripts, stated right at the start of the article that buries the reader under a load of minutae. This makes it completely inaccessible to almost 99% of the readers. I will make a few changes.--Filll 18:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: If anyone can make sense of this information about Hung Taiji's marriages and children, all the names are in Wades-Giles, or at least a form of it =(  feel free and give a shot. Abstrakt 03:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
