Genghis Khan's two titles, Emperor and Great Khan, the meaning is not the same, one refers to the supreme ruler of the centralized state, the other is the meaning of the alliance leader or overlord, for the military head, the subordinate alliances are highly self-conscious and have the possibility of attacking each other, the same before the Qin China did not have an emperor, the Great Khan is similar to the alliance leader of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons; In the same situation, the Qing Dynasty had its own banner owner for the banner people, and then abolished the flag owner with "no two days", and the Qing Emperor became the emperor of the banner people in meaning, and stipulated that the Khan was not allowed to pay tribute.

Numerous extant historical materials from the 13th and 14th centuries, as well as archaeological relics and cliff carvings, prove that after Emperor Genghis Khan established the Great Mongolian State in 1206, he already had the dual identity of emperor and Great Khan, and for the Mongols and other ethnic groups living in the steppe areas, they called him "Great Khan" in Mongolian, and for the Turks and other peoples living in the northwest region, they called him "Khan" or "Khan" in Turkic and other languages. For the Khitans, Jurchens, and Dangxiang people living in the Han region of Monan and the northeast, they established the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Western Xia and other zhrngquan with the title of "emperor", and most of them were sinicized in the early 13th century, and the common Chinese language was basically no longer used, and it was entirely possible to call him "emperor" in non-native Chinese. As for the Han subjects living in the Han region of Monan and the northeast, they have always used the Chinese term "Emperor Genghis" to refer to him.

During the Yuan Chengzong period, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was recognized by the four khanates as the co-lord of the entire Mongol Empire, and the title of "emperor" commonly used in the Han land was also recognized by the four khanates in the true sense, just as Tang Taizong was called the Tang Emperor by the Han people in Chinese, and at the same time was honored as "Tian Khan" by the northwestern ethnic groups in Turkic and other languages, in fact, they were two positions, the same as the Holy Roman Empire in Europe concurrently serving as the king or grand duke of a certain country.

In the fifth lunar month of 1219, Temujin sent Liu Zhonglu to invite Changchun Zhenrenqiu to go to the Mongolian steppe, calling himself "I" and calling his founding and enthronement "Jianzuo".

In 1220, in the second edict sent by Temujin to invite Qiu Chuji to the Central Asian steppes, he still referred to himself as "I".

In 1227, Li Zhichang, a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect, wrote "Journey to the West in Changchun", which recorded the deeds of Qiu Chuji from his invitation to travel west in 1219 until his death in 1227, and called Temujin "Emperor Genghis" in the book. The orders he gave were called "holy decrees."

In 1221, the Southern Song Dynasty envoy Zhao Hui sent an envoy to the Great Mongolian Kingdom, and after his return, he wrote the "Mongolian Tartar Records", in which Temujin was called "Emperor Genghis".

It is mentioned in the "Mengtar Records" that during the reign of Temujin, the gold medal used by the imperial court was to bring two tigers facing each other, called the gold medal of the tiger's head, and said in Chinese characters: "God gave Emperor Genghis the holy decree, act cheaply". Secondly, Su Jin, said: "God gave Emperor Genghis a holy decree." ”

In 1998, a "Holy Decree Gold Medal" was found in Langfang, Hebei Province, and the front was engraved with double-hooked Chinese characters: "God-given Emperor Genghis Holy Decree Disease." It is exactly the same as the Chinese language on the gold medal recorded in the "Mongolian Tartar Records". The heart of the card on the back is engraved with a double hook Khitan script, which means in Chinese: "speed, walking horse, or fast horse". "Holy decree card" is the symbol of the emperor, on behalf of the emperor, generally walking with the holy decree, seeing the holy decree card as seeing the emperor, is the authentic authority of the holy decree. The imperial court issued various edicts, including the transfer of military troops, all of which were issued together with the "holy decree card". The discovery of this holy decree tablet shows that Temujin was already called "Emperor Genghis" when he was alive, which is a historical fact worthy of attention.

In 1232, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, Peng Daya, accompanied the envoy to the Great Mongolia, and the envoy Xu Ting went to the Great Mongolia with the envoy from 1235 to 1236.

In 2010, engraved with a number of Mongolian emperors' holy decree of the Quanzhen Sect of the Divine Nunnery cliff carved in Shandong Culai Mountain was found, the stone carvings are a total of four directions, the text is Chinese, one of the stone carvings is engraved with Emperor Genghis, Emperor Hehan (Wokotai), Emperor Guiyou (Guiyou) three Mongolian emperors' holy decrees, as well as Wokotai's Empress Polo Zhen, instigated Lugu Tang Concubine Yi's decree, and Wokotai's Xilemen, and the decree of the two princes, and an emperor's decree was issued in the third year after Naimazhen (called the system), Naima Zhenhou was the empress of Yuan Taizong Wokotai, and after the death of Wokotai in 1241, he was in charge of the dynasty until 1246, when Guiyou ascended the throne. According to the inscription on the stone inscription, the stone inscription was engraved in the second year after the sea was lost (called the system), after the sea was lost, she was the empress of Yuan Ding Zong Guiyou, and after the death of Guiyou in 1248, she came to the dynasty to weigh the system, until Meng Ge ascended the throne in 1251. In the stone inscriptions of the holy decree, Temujin is called "Emperor Genghis", Ogedai is called "Emperor Hehan", and Guiyou is called "Emperor Guiyou" in Chinese, which is another powerful cultural relic evidence that the subjects of Han China called Temujin "Emperor Genghis" during the Great Mongolian period.

In Kublai Khan's letter to Japan in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266), he called himself "Emperor of the Great Mongolian State" at the beginning of the letter, and in the later content, he called himself "I", and at this time, there were still five years before he changed the name of the country to "Dayuan" in 1271. The name "Great Mongolia" first appeared in 1206, and it can be inferred from Kublai Khan's proclamation of himself as Emperor of the Great Mongolia in 1266 that Temujin was emperor after the founding of the state in 1206.

In November of the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Huizong of Yuan Huizong (1345), Temujin was referred to as "Emperor Genghis". The orders he gave were called "holy decrees."

In the early Ming Dynasty, the official revision of the "History of the Yuan", the word "Emperor Genghis" only appeared many times in the book, and the word "Genghis Khan" never appeared. When Genghis founded the Great Mongolia in 1206, the Chinese said that "the emperor is located at the source of the difficult river, and the kings and ministers are called Genghis Emperor", and the ancestor was the god of the temple in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266), and the tablet of the Yuan Taizu is written as "Emperor Genghis Emperor". The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty (The Secret History of the Mongols), written in 1252, is transliterated as "Genghis Hehan" in Mongolian and translated as "Emperor Taizu".

As for the term "Genghis Khan", it was first seen in Rasht's "Historical Collection" and Zhifeni's "History of the World Conquerors" and other historical books, both of which were historians of the Ilkhanate of the Mongol Empire (located in Western Asia), and the title "Genghis Khan" was used by later generations in West Asia and was introduced to China from the late Qing Dynasty, but it has never been seen in the Chinese literature of the Yuan Dynasty.
