[edit] Genealogy

Would it not be appropriate to describe his specific genealogy? Was his father a younger son of the Chenghua Emperor, or was his connection more distant? john k (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

According to "The Ritual Formation of Confucian Orthodoxy and the Descendants of the Sage"[1], p569, the Jiajing emperor "insisted on bestowing the title of emperor on his natal father and grandfather (who never actually served as rulers)", so it must be a more remote connection. I'll have a dig and see what I can find out. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
